在标量列值上建立可变性

Establishing Mutability on Scalar Column Values

“可变” 结构的一个典型示例是 Python 字典。 参考 SQL 数据类型对象 中介绍的示例,我们 从一个自定义类型开始,该类型在持久化之前将 Python 字典转换为 JSON 字符串:

from sqlalchemy.types import TypeDecorator, VARCHAR
import json


class JSONEncodedDict(TypeDecorator):
    "将不可变结构表示为 JSON 编码的字符串。"

    impl = VARCHAR

    def process_bind_param(self, value, dialect):
        if value is not None:
            value = json.dumps(value)
        return value

    def process_result_value(self, value, dialect):
        if value is not None:
            value = json.loads(value)
        return value

json 的使用仅为示例目的。 sqlalchemy.ext.mutable 扩展可以与任何其目标 Python 类型可能是可变类型的类型一起使用,包括 PickleTypeARRAY 等。

使用 sqlalchemy.ext.mutable 扩展时,值本身 会跟踪所有引用它的父级。下面,我们展示了一个简单版本的 MutableDict 字典对象, 它将 Mutable 混入普通的 Python 字典:

from sqlalchemy.ext.mutable import Mutable


class MutableDict(Mutable, dict):
    @classmethod
    def coerce(cls, key, value):
        "将普通字典转换为 MutableDict。"

        if not isinstance(value, MutableDict):
            if isinstance(value, dict):
                return MutableDict(value)

            # 此调用将引发 ValueError
            return Mutable.coerce(key, value)
        else:
            return value

    def __setitem__(self, key, value):
        "检测字典设置事件并发出更改事件。"

        dict.__setitem__(self, key, value)
        self.changed()

    def __delitem__(self, key):
        "检测字典删除事件并发出更改事件。"

        dict.__delitem__(self, key)
        self.changed()

上述字典类采用了通过继承 Python 内置的 dict 来实现的方式, 生成一个字典子类,将所有的变更事件通过 __setitem__ 路由。此方法有变种, 例如继承 UserDict.UserDictcollections.MutableMapping; 这个示例中重要的部分是,每当对数据结构进行原地修改时,都会调用 Mutable.changed() 方法。

我们还重定义了 Mutable.coerce() 方法,该方法用于 将任何不是 MutableDict 实例的值,如 json 模块返回的普通字典, 转换为适当的类型。定义此方法是可选的;我们也可以创建 JSONEncodedDict,使其始终返回一个 MutableDict 实例, 并额外确保所有调用代码显式使用 MutableDict。当 Mutable.coerce() 未被重写时, 任何应用于父对象的非可变类型值都会引发 ValueError

我们的新 MutableDict 类型提供了一个类方法 Mutable.as_mutable(),我们可以在列元数据中使用它与类型关联。 此方法获取给定的类型对象或类,并关联一个侦听器,该侦听器将检测所有未来的该类型映射, 并将事件监听器应用到映射的属性上。例如,在经典的表元数据中:

from sqlalchemy import Table, Column, Integer

my_data = Table(
    "my_data",
    metadata,
    Column("id", Integer, primary_key=True),
    Column("data", MutableDict.as_mutable(JSONEncodedDict)),
)

在上述代码中,Mutable.as_mutable() 返回一个 JSONEncodedDict 实例 (如果该类型对象尚未是实例),它将拦截映射到该类型的任何属性。下面我们建立一个简单的 对 my_data 表的映射:

from sqlalchemy.orm import DeclarativeBase
from sqlalchemy.orm import Mapped
from sqlalchemy.orm import mapped_column


class Base(DeclarativeBase):
    pass


class MyDataClass(Base):
    __tablename__ = "my_data"
    id: Mapped[int] = mapped_column(primary_key=True)
    data: Mapped[dict[str, str]] = mapped_column(
        MutableDict.as_mutable(JSONEncodedDict)
    )

MyDataClass.data 成员现在将会在其值发生原地变化时被通知。

MyDataClass.data 成员的任何原地更改 都将标记父对象上的该属性为 “dirty”(已修改):

>>> from sqlalchemy.orm import Session

>>> sess = Session(some_engine)
>>> m1 = MyDataClass(data={"value1": "foo"})
>>> sess.add(m1)
>>> sess.commit()

>>> m1.data["value1"] = "bar"
>>> assert m1 in sess.dirty
True

MutableDict 可以通过 Mutable.associate_with() 将其与所有未来的 JSONEncodedDict 实例关联。与 Mutable.as_mutable() 类似, 它将无条件拦截所有映射中 MutableDict 的所有出现,而无需逐个声明:

from sqlalchemy.orm import DeclarativeBase
from sqlalchemy.orm import Mapped
from sqlalchemy.orm import mapped_column

MutableDict.associate_with(JSONEncodedDict)


class Base(DeclarativeBase):
    pass


class MyDataClass(Base):
    __tablename__ = "my_data"
    id: Mapped[int] = mapped_column(primary_key=True)
    data: Mapped[dict[str, str]] = mapped_column(JSONEncodedDict)

A typical example of a “mutable” structure is a Python dictionary. Following the example introduced in SQL 数据类型对象, we begin with a custom type that marshals Python dictionaries into JSON strings before being persisted:

from sqlalchemy.types import TypeDecorator, VARCHAR
import json


class JSONEncodedDict(TypeDecorator):
    "Represents an immutable structure as a json-encoded string."

    impl = VARCHAR

    def process_bind_param(self, value, dialect):
        if value is not None:
            value = json.dumps(value)
        return value

    def process_result_value(self, value, dialect):
        if value is not None:
            value = json.loads(value)
        return value

The usage of json is only for the purposes of example. The sqlalchemy.ext.mutable extension can be used with any type whose target Python type may be mutable, including PickleType, ARRAY, etc.

When using the sqlalchemy.ext.mutable extension, the value itself tracks all parents which reference it. Below, we illustrate a simple version of the MutableDict dictionary object, which applies the Mutable mixin to a plain Python dictionary:

from sqlalchemy.ext.mutable import Mutable


class MutableDict(Mutable, dict):
    @classmethod
    def coerce(cls, key, value):
        "Convert plain dictionaries to MutableDict."

        if not isinstance(value, MutableDict):
            if isinstance(value, dict):
                return MutableDict(value)

            # this call will raise ValueError
            return Mutable.coerce(key, value)
        else:
            return value

    def __setitem__(self, key, value):
        "Detect dictionary set events and emit change events."

        dict.__setitem__(self, key, value)
        self.changed()

    def __delitem__(self, key):
        "Detect dictionary del events and emit change events."

        dict.__delitem__(self, key)
        self.changed()

The above dictionary class takes the approach of subclassing the Python built-in dict to produce a dict subclass which routes all mutation events through __setitem__. There are variants on this approach, such as subclassing UserDict.UserDict or collections.MutableMapping; the part that’s important to this example is that the Mutable.changed() method is called whenever an in-place change to the datastructure takes place.

We also redefine the Mutable.coerce() method which will be used to convert any values that are not instances of MutableDict, such as the plain dictionaries returned by the json module, into the appropriate type. Defining this method is optional; we could just as well created our JSONEncodedDict such that it always returns an instance of MutableDict, and additionally ensured that all calling code uses MutableDict explicitly. When Mutable.coerce() is not overridden, any values applied to a parent object which are not instances of the mutable type will raise a ValueError.

Our new MutableDict type offers a class method Mutable.as_mutable() which we can use within column metadata to associate with types. This method grabs the given type object or class and associates a listener that will detect all future mappings of this type, applying event listening instrumentation to the mapped attribute. Such as, with classical table metadata:

from sqlalchemy import Table, Column, Integer

my_data = Table(
    "my_data",
    metadata,
    Column("id", Integer, primary_key=True),
    Column("data", MutableDict.as_mutable(JSONEncodedDict)),
)

Above, Mutable.as_mutable() returns an instance of JSONEncodedDict (if the type object was not an instance already), which will intercept any attributes which are mapped against this type. Below we establish a simple mapping against the my_data table:

from sqlalchemy.orm import DeclarativeBase
from sqlalchemy.orm import Mapped
from sqlalchemy.orm import mapped_column


class Base(DeclarativeBase):
    pass


class MyDataClass(Base):
    __tablename__ = "my_data"
    id: Mapped[int] = mapped_column(primary_key=True)
    data: Mapped[dict[str, str]] = mapped_column(
        MutableDict.as_mutable(JSONEncodedDict)
    )

The MyDataClass.data member will now be notified of in place changes to its value.

Any in-place changes to the MyDataClass.data member will flag the attribute as “dirty” on the parent object:

>>> from sqlalchemy.orm import Session

>>> sess = Session(some_engine)
>>> m1 = MyDataClass(data={"value1": "foo"})
>>> sess.add(m1)
>>> sess.commit()

>>> m1.data["value1"] = "bar"
>>> assert m1 in sess.dirty
True

The MutableDict can be associated with all future instances of JSONEncodedDict in one step, using Mutable.associate_with(). This is similar to Mutable.as_mutable() except it will intercept all occurrences of MutableDict in all mappings unconditionally, without the need to declare it individually:

from sqlalchemy.orm import DeclarativeBase
from sqlalchemy.orm import Mapped
from sqlalchemy.orm import mapped_column

MutableDict.associate_with(JSONEncodedDict)


class Base(DeclarativeBase):
    pass


class MyDataClass(Base):
    __tablename__ = "my_data"
    id: Mapped[int] = mapped_column(primary_key=True)
    data: Mapped[dict[str, str]] = mapped_column(JSONEncodedDict)

支持酸洗

Supporting Pickling

sqlalchemy.ext.mutable 扩展的关键在于 在值对象上放置一个 weakref.WeakKeyDictionary, 该字典存储父映射对象与此值关联的属性名称的映射。由于 WeakKeyDictionary 对象包含弱引用和函数回调, 它们不能被 pickle。在我们的例子中,这是件好事, 因为如果该字典可被 pickle,它可能会导致我们值对象的 pickle 大小过大,尤其是在它们被单独 pickle 而不在父对象上下文中的时候。 开发者在这里的责任仅仅是提供一个 __getstate__ 方法, 以便从 pickle 流中排除 MutableBase._parents() 集合:

class MyMutableType(Mutable):
    def __getstate__(self):
        d = self.__dict__.copy()
        d.pop("_parents", None)
        return d

对于我们的字典示例,我们需要返回字典本身的内容 (并且在 __setstate__ 时恢复它们):

class MutableDict(Mutable, dict):
    # ....

    def __getstate__(self):
        return dict(self)

    def __setstate__(self, state):
        self.update(state)

如果我们的可变值对象在与一个或多个父对象一起被 pickle 时, 而这些父对象也属于 pickle 过程,那么 Mutable 混入类将在每个值对象上重新建立 Mutable._parents 集合,因为拥有者父对象本身会被 unpickle。

The key to the sqlalchemy.ext.mutable extension relies upon the placement of a weakref.WeakKeyDictionary upon the value object, which stores a mapping of parent mapped objects keyed to the attribute name under which they are associated with this value. WeakKeyDictionary objects are not picklable, due to the fact that they contain weakrefs and function callbacks. In our case, this is a good thing, since if this dictionary were picklable, it could lead to an excessively large pickle size for our value objects that are pickled by themselves outside of the context of the parent. The developer responsibility here is only to provide a __getstate__ method that excludes the MutableBase._parents() collection from the pickle stream:

class MyMutableType(Mutable):
    def __getstate__(self):
        d = self.__dict__.copy()
        d.pop("_parents", None)
        return d

With our dictionary example, we need to return the contents of the dict itself (and also restore them on __setstate__):

class MutableDict(Mutable, dict):
    # ....

    def __getstate__(self):
        return dict(self)

    def __setstate__(self, state):
        self.update(state)

In the case that our mutable value object is pickled as it is attached to one or more parent objects that are also part of the pickle, the Mutable mixin will re-establish the Mutable._parents collection on each value object as the owning parents themselves are unpickled.

接收事件

Receiving Events

AttributeEvents.modified() 事件处理程序可用于接收 当可变标量发出更改事件时的事件。此事件处理程序 在调用 flag_modified() 函数时被触发, 该函数来自可变扩展:

from sqlalchemy.orm import DeclarativeBase
from sqlalchemy.orm import Mapped
from sqlalchemy.orm import mapped_column
from sqlalchemy import event


class Base(DeclarativeBase):
    pass


class MyDataClass(Base):
    __tablename__ = "my_data"
    id: Mapped[int] = mapped_column(primary_key=True)
    data: Mapped[dict[str, str]] = mapped_column(
        MutableDict.as_mutable(JSONEncodedDict)
    )


@event.listens_for(MyDataClass.data, "modified")
def modified_json(instance, initiator):
    print("json value modified:", instance.data)

The AttributeEvents.modified() event handler may be used to receive an event when a mutable scalar emits a change event. This event handler is called when the flag_modified() function is called from within the mutable extension:

from sqlalchemy.orm import DeclarativeBase
from sqlalchemy.orm import Mapped
from sqlalchemy.orm import mapped_column
from sqlalchemy import event


class Base(DeclarativeBase):
    pass


class MyDataClass(Base):
    __tablename__ = "my_data"
    id: Mapped[int] = mapped_column(primary_key=True)
    data: Mapped[dict[str, str]] = mapped_column(
        MutableDict.as_mutable(JSONEncodedDict)
    )


@event.listens_for(MyDataClass.data, "modified")
def modified_json(instance, initiator):
    print("json value modified:", instance.data)

在复合材料上建立可变性

Establishing Mutability on Composites

复合类型是一个特殊的 ORM 特性,它允许将一个标量属性 赋值为一个对象,该对象表示由一个或多个列的底层映射表 “组合”而成的信息。通常的示例是几何“点”, 并在 复合列类型 中进行了介绍。

Mutable 一样,用户定义的复合类 继承 MutableComposite 作为混入类,并通过 MutableComposite.changed() 方法检测并将更改事件传递给其父类。 在复合类的情况下,检测通常是通过使用特殊的 Python 方法 __setattr__() 来完成的。 在下面的示例中,我们扩展了 复合列类型 中介绍的 Point 类,将 MutableComposite 包含在其基类中,并通过 __setattr__ 将属性设置事件路由到 MutableComposite.changed() 方法:

import dataclasses
from sqlalchemy.ext.mutable import MutableComposite


@dataclasses.dataclass
class Point(MutableComposite):
    x: int
    y: int

    def __setattr__(self, key, value):
        "拦截设置事件"

        # 设置属性
        object.__setattr__(self, key, value)

        # 通知所有父对象发生更改
        self.changed()

MutableComposite 类利用类映射事件 自动为任何使用 composite() 指定我们 Point 类型的操作建立监听器。 下面,当 Point 映射到 Vertex 类时,将建立监听器, 这些监听器将把 Point 对象的更改事件路由到每个 Vertex.startVertex.end 属性:

from sqlalchemy.orm import DeclarativeBase, Mapped
from sqlalchemy.orm import composite, mapped_column


class Base(DeclarativeBase):
    pass


class Vertex(Base):
    __tablename__ = "vertices"

    id: Mapped[int] = mapped_column(primary_key=True)

    start: Mapped[Point] = composite(
        mapped_column("x1"), mapped_column("y1")
    )
    end: Mapped[Point] = composite(
        mapped_column("x2"), mapped_column("y2")
    )

    def __repr__(self):
        return f"Vertex(start={self.start}, end={self.end})"

Vertex.startVertex.end 成员的任何原地更改 将标记父对象上的该属性为 “dirty”(已修改):

>>> from sqlalchemy.orm import Session
>>> sess = Session(engine)
>>> v1 = Vertex(start=Point(3, 4), end=Point(12, 15))
>>> sess.add(v1)
sql>>> sess.flush()
>>> v1.end.x = 8
>>> assert v1 in sess.dirty
True
sql>>> sess.commit()

Composites are a special ORM feature which allow a single scalar attribute to be assigned an object value which represents information “composed” from one or more columns from the underlying mapped table. The usual example is that of a geometric “point”, and is introduced in 复合列类型.

As is the case with Mutable, the user-defined composite class subclasses MutableComposite as a mixin, and detects and delivers change events to its parents via the MutableComposite.changed() method. In the case of a composite class, the detection is usually via the usage of the special Python method __setattr__(). In the example below, we expand upon the Point class introduced in 复合列类型 to include MutableComposite in its bases and to route attribute set events via __setattr__ to the MutableComposite.changed() method:

import dataclasses
from sqlalchemy.ext.mutable import MutableComposite


@dataclasses.dataclass
class Point(MutableComposite):
    x: int
    y: int

    def __setattr__(self, key, value):
        "Intercept set events"

        # set the attribute
        object.__setattr__(self, key, value)

        # alert all parents to the change
        self.changed()

The MutableComposite class makes use of class mapping events to automatically establish listeners for any usage of composite() that specifies our Point type. Below, when Point is mapped to the Vertex class, listeners are established which will route change events from Point objects to each of the Vertex.start and Vertex.end attributes:

from sqlalchemy.orm import DeclarativeBase, Mapped
from sqlalchemy.orm import composite, mapped_column


class Base(DeclarativeBase):
    pass


class Vertex(Base):
    __tablename__ = "vertices"

    id: Mapped[int] = mapped_column(primary_key=True)

    start: Mapped[Point] = composite(
        mapped_column("x1"), mapped_column("y1")
    )
    end: Mapped[Point] = composite(
        mapped_column("x2"), mapped_column("y2")
    )

    def __repr__(self):
        return f"Vertex(start={self.start}, end={self.end})"

Any in-place changes to the Vertex.start or Vertex.end members will flag the attribute as “dirty” on the parent object:

>>> from sqlalchemy.orm import Session
>>> sess = Session(engine)
>>> v1 = Vertex(start=Point(3, 4), end=Point(12, 15))
>>> sess.add(v1)
sql>>> sess.flush()
>>> v1.end.x = 8
>>> assert v1 in sess.dirty
True
sql>>> sess.commit()

强制可变复合材料

Coercing Mutable Composites

MutableBase.coerce() 方法也支持复合类型。 对于 MutableCompositeMutableBase.coerce() 方法仅在属性设置操作时调用,而不在加载操作时调用。 重写 MutableBase.coerce() 方法本质上等同于 为所有使用自定义复合类型的属性使用 validates() 验证例程:

@dataclasses.dataclass
class Point(MutableComposite):
    # 其他 Point 方法
    # ...

    def coerce(cls, key, value):
        if isinstance(value, tuple):
            value = Point(*value)
        elif not isinstance(value, Point):
            raise ValueError("expected tuple or Point")
        return value

The MutableBase.coerce() method is also supported on composite types. In the case of MutableComposite, the MutableBase.coerce() method is only called for attribute set operations, not load operations. Overriding the MutableBase.coerce() method is essentially equivalent to using a validates() validation routine for all attributes which make use of the custom composite type:

@dataclasses.dataclass
class Point(MutableComposite):
    # other Point methods
    # ...

    def coerce(cls, key, value):
        if isinstance(value, tuple):
            value = Point(*value)
        elif not isinstance(value, Point):
            raise ValueError("tuple or Point expected")
        return value

支持酸洗

Supporting Pickling

Mutable 一样,MutableComposite 助手 类使用一个通过 MutableBase._parents() 属性访问的 weakref.WeakKeyDictionary,它不可被 pickle。如果我们需要 pickle Point 或其拥有类 Vertex 的实例,至少需要 定义一个 __getstate__ 方法,且不包含 _parents 字典。 下面我们定义了一个 __getstate__ 和一个 __setstate__, 它们打包了我们 Point 类的最小形式:

@dataclasses.dataclass
class Point(MutableComposite):
    # ...

    def __getstate__(self):
        return self.x, self.y

    def __setstate__(self, state):
        self.x, self.y = state

Mutable 一样,MutableComposite 增强了 父对象的对象关系状态的 pickle 过程,以便 MutableBase._parents() 集合被恢复到所有 Point 对象上。

As is the case with Mutable, the MutableComposite helper class uses a weakref.WeakKeyDictionary available via the MutableBase._parents() attribute which isn’t picklable. If we need to pickle instances of Point or its owning class Vertex, we at least need to define a __getstate__ that doesn’t include the _parents dictionary. Below we define both a __getstate__ and a __setstate__ that package up the minimal form of our Point class:

@dataclasses.dataclass
class Point(MutableComposite):
    # ...

    def __getstate__(self):
        return self.x, self.y

    def __setstate__(self, state):
        self.x, self.y = state

As with Mutable, the MutableComposite augments the pickling process of the parent’s object-relational state so that the MutableBase._parents() collection is restored to all Point objects.

class sqlalchemy.ext.mutable.MutableBase

Members

_parents, coerce()

Common base class to Mutable and MutableComposite.

attribute sqlalchemy.ext.mutable.MutableBase._parents

Dictionary of parent object’s InstanceState->attribute name on the parent.

This attribute is a so-called “memoized” property. It initializes itself with a new weakref.WeakKeyDictionary the first time it is accessed, returning the same object upon subsequent access.

在 1.4 版本发生变更: the InstanceState is now used as the key in the weak dictionary rather than the instance itself.

classmethod sqlalchemy.ext.mutable.MutableBase.coerce(key: str, value: Any) Any | None

Given a value, coerce it into the target type.

Can be overridden by custom subclasses to coerce incoming data into a particular type.

By default, raises ValueError.

This method is called in different scenarios depending on if the parent class is of type Mutable or of type MutableComposite. In the case of the former, it is called for both attribute-set operations as well as during ORM loading operations. For the latter, it is only called during attribute-set operations; the mechanics of the composite() construct handle coercion during load operations.

参数:
  • key – string name of the ORM-mapped attribute being set.

  • value – the incoming value.

返回:

the method should return the coerced value, or raise ValueError if the coercion cannot be completed.

class sqlalchemy.ext.mutable.Mutable

Mixin that defines transparent propagation of change events to a parent object.

See the example in 在标量列值上建立可变性 for usage information.

classmethod sqlalchemy.ext.mutable.Mutable._get_listen_keys(attribute: QueryableAttribute[Any]) Set[str]

inherited from the sqlalchemy.ext.mutable.MutableBase._get_listen_keys method of MutableBase

Given a descriptor attribute, return a set() of the attribute keys which indicate a change in the state of this attribute.

This is normally just set([attribute.key]), but can be overridden to provide for additional keys. E.g. a MutableComposite augments this set with the attribute keys associated with the columns that comprise the composite value.

This collection is consulted in the case of intercepting the InstanceEvents.refresh() and InstanceEvents.refresh_flush() events, which pass along a list of attribute names that have been refreshed; the list is compared against this set to determine if action needs to be taken.

classmethod sqlalchemy.ext.mutable.Mutable._listen_on_attribute(attribute: QueryableAttribute[Any], coerce: bool, parent_cls: _ExternalEntityType[Any]) None

inherited from the sqlalchemy.ext.mutable.MutableBase._listen_on_attribute method of MutableBase

Establish this type as a mutation listener for the given mapped descriptor.

attribute sqlalchemy.ext.mutable.Mutable._parents

inherited from the sqlalchemy.ext.mutable.MutableBase._parents attribute of MutableBase

Dictionary of parent object’s InstanceState->attribute name on the parent.

This attribute is a so-called “memoized” property. It initializes itself with a new weakref.WeakKeyDictionary the first time it is accessed, returning the same object upon subsequent access.

在 1.4 版本发生变更: the InstanceState is now used as the key in the weak dictionary rather than the instance itself.

classmethod sqlalchemy.ext.mutable.Mutable.as_mutable(sqltype: _TypeEngineArgument[_T]) TypeEngine[_T]

Associate a SQL type with this mutable Python type.

This establishes listeners that will detect ORM mappings against the given type, adding mutation event trackers to those mappings.

The type is returned, unconditionally as an instance, so that as_mutable() can be used inline:

Table(
    "mytable",
    metadata,
    Column("id", Integer, primary_key=True),
    Column("data", MyMutableType.as_mutable(PickleType)),
)

Note that the returned type is always an instance, even if a class is given, and that only columns which are declared specifically with that type instance receive additional instrumentation.

To associate a particular mutable type with all occurrences of a particular type, use the Mutable.associate_with() classmethod of the particular Mutable subclass to establish a global association.

警告

The listeners established by this method are global to all mappers, and are not garbage collected. Only use as_mutable() for types that are permanent to an application, not with ad-hoc types else this will cause unbounded growth in memory usage.

classmethod sqlalchemy.ext.mutable.Mutable.associate_with(sqltype: type) None

Associate this wrapper with all future mapped columns of the given type.

This is a convenience method that calls associate_with_attribute automatically.

警告

The listeners established by this method are global to all mappers, and are not garbage collected. Only use associate_with() for types that are permanent to an application, not with ad-hoc types else this will cause unbounded growth in memory usage.

classmethod sqlalchemy.ext.mutable.Mutable.associate_with_attribute(attribute: InstrumentedAttribute[_O]) None

Establish this type as a mutation listener for the given mapped descriptor.

method sqlalchemy.ext.mutable.Mutable.changed() None

Subclasses should call this method whenever change events occur.

classmethod sqlalchemy.ext.mutable.Mutable.coerce(key: str, value: Any) Any | None

inherited from the MutableBase.coerce() method of MutableBase

Given a value, coerce it into the target type.

Can be overridden by custom subclasses to coerce incoming data into a particular type.

By default, raises ValueError.

This method is called in different scenarios depending on if the parent class is of type Mutable or of type MutableComposite. In the case of the former, it is called for both attribute-set operations as well as during ORM loading operations. For the latter, it is only called during attribute-set operations; the mechanics of the composite() construct handle coercion during load operations.

参数:
  • key – string name of the ORM-mapped attribute being set.

  • value – the incoming value.

返回:

the method should return the coerced value, or raise ValueError if the coercion cannot be completed.

class sqlalchemy.ext.mutable.MutableComposite

Mixin that defines transparent propagation of change events on a SQLAlchemy “composite” object to its owning parent or parents.

See the example in 在复合材料上建立可变性 for usage information.

class sqlalchemy.ext.mutable.MutableDict

A dictionary type that implements Mutable.

The MutableDict object implements a dictionary that will emit change events to the underlying mapping when the contents of the dictionary are altered, including when values are added or removed.

Note that MutableDict does not apply mutable tracking to the values themselves inside the dictionary. Therefore it is not a sufficient solution for the use case of tracking deep changes to a recursive dictionary structure, such as a JSON structure. To support this use case, build a subclass of MutableDict that provides appropriate coercion to the values placed in the dictionary so that they too are “mutable”, and emit events up to their parent structure.

Class signature

class sqlalchemy.ext.mutable.MutableDict (sqlalchemy.ext.mutable.Mutable, builtins.dict, typing.Generic)

method sqlalchemy.ext.mutable.MutableDict.clear() None.  Remove all items from D.
classmethod sqlalchemy.ext.mutable.MutableDict.coerce(key: str, value: Any) MutableDict[_KT, _VT] | None

Convert plain dictionary to instance of this class.

method sqlalchemy.ext.mutable.MutableDict.pop(k[, d]) v, remove specified key and return the corresponding value.

If the key is not found, return the default if given; otherwise, raise a KeyError.

method sqlalchemy.ext.mutable.MutableDict.popitem() Tuple[_KT, _VT]

Remove and return a (key, value) pair as a 2-tuple.

Pairs are returned in LIFO (last-in, first-out) order. Raises KeyError if the dict is empty.

method sqlalchemy.ext.mutable.MutableDict.setdefault(*arg)

Insert key with a value of default if key is not in the dictionary.

Return the value for key if key is in the dictionary, else default.

method sqlalchemy.ext.mutable.MutableDict.update([E, ]**F) None.  Update D from mapping/iterable E and F.

If E is present and has a .keys() method, then does: for k in E.keys(): D[k] = E[k] If E is present and lacks a .keys() method, then does: for k, v in E: D[k] = v In either case, this is followed by: for k in F: D[k] = F[k]

class sqlalchemy.ext.mutable.MutableList

A list type that implements Mutable.

The MutableList object implements a list that will emit change events to the underlying mapping when the contents of the list are altered, including when values are added or removed.

Note that MutableList does not apply mutable tracking to the values themselves inside the list. Therefore it is not a sufficient solution for the use case of tracking deep changes to a recursive mutable structure, such as a JSON structure. To support this use case, build a subclass of MutableList that provides appropriate coercion to the values placed in the dictionary so that they too are “mutable”, and emit events up to their parent structure.

Class signature

class sqlalchemy.ext.mutable.MutableList (sqlalchemy.ext.mutable.Mutable, builtins.list, typing.Generic)

method sqlalchemy.ext.mutable.MutableList.append(x: _T) None

Append object to the end of the list.

method sqlalchemy.ext.mutable.MutableList.clear() None

Remove all items from list.

classmethod sqlalchemy.ext.mutable.MutableList.coerce(key: str, value: MutableList[_T] | _T) MutableList[_T] | None

Convert plain list to instance of this class.

method sqlalchemy.ext.mutable.MutableList.extend(x: Iterable[_T]) None

Extend list by appending elements from the iterable.

method sqlalchemy.ext.mutable.MutableList.insert(i: SupportsIndex, x: _T) None

Insert object before index.

method sqlalchemy.ext.mutable.MutableList.is_iterable(value: _T | Iterable[_T]) TypeGuard[Iterable[_T]]
method sqlalchemy.ext.mutable.MutableList.is_scalar(value: _T | Iterable[_T]) TypeGuard[_T]
method sqlalchemy.ext.mutable.MutableList.pop(*arg: SupportsIndex) _T

Remove and return item at index (default last).

Raises IndexError if list is empty or index is out of range.

method sqlalchemy.ext.mutable.MutableList.remove(i: _T) None

Remove first occurrence of value.

Raises ValueError if the value is not present.

method sqlalchemy.ext.mutable.MutableList.reverse() None

Reverse IN PLACE.

method sqlalchemy.ext.mutable.MutableList.sort(**kw: Any) None

Sort the list in ascending order and return None.

The sort is in-place (i.e. the list itself is modified) and stable (i.e. the order of two equal elements is maintained).

If a key function is given, apply it once to each list item and sort them, ascending or descending, according to their function values.

The reverse flag can be set to sort in descending order.

class sqlalchemy.ext.mutable.MutableSet

A set type that implements Mutable.

The MutableSet object implements a set that will emit change events to the underlying mapping when the contents of the set are altered, including when values are added or removed.

Note that MutableSet does not apply mutable tracking to the values themselves inside the set. Therefore it is not a sufficient solution for the use case of tracking deep changes to a recursive mutable structure. To support this use case, build a subclass of MutableSet that provides appropriate coercion to the values placed in the dictionary so that they too are “mutable”, and emit events up to their parent structure.

Class signature

class sqlalchemy.ext.mutable.MutableSet (sqlalchemy.ext.mutable.Mutable, builtins.set, typing.Generic)

method sqlalchemy.ext.mutable.MutableSet.add(elem: _T) None

Add an element to a set.

This has no effect if the element is already present.

method sqlalchemy.ext.mutable.MutableSet.clear() None

Remove all elements from this set.

classmethod sqlalchemy.ext.mutable.MutableSet.coerce(index: str, value: Any) MutableSet[_T] | None

Convert plain set to instance of this class.

method sqlalchemy.ext.mutable.MutableSet.difference_update(*arg: Iterable[Any]) None

Remove all elements of another set from this set.

method sqlalchemy.ext.mutable.MutableSet.discard(elem: _T) None

Remove an element from a set if it is a member.

Unlike set.remove(), the discard() method does not raise an exception when an element is missing from the set.

method sqlalchemy.ext.mutable.MutableSet.intersection_update(*arg: Iterable[Any]) None

Update a set with the intersection of itself and another.

method sqlalchemy.ext.mutable.MutableSet.pop(*arg: Any) _T

Remove and return an arbitrary set element. Raises KeyError if the set is empty.

method sqlalchemy.ext.mutable.MutableSet.remove(elem: _T) None

Remove an element from a set; it must be a member.

If the element is not a member, raise a KeyError.

method sqlalchemy.ext.mutable.MutableSet.symmetric_difference_update(*arg: Iterable[_T]) None

Update a set with the symmetric difference of itself and another.

method sqlalchemy.ext.mutable.MutableSet.update(*arg: Iterable[_T]) None

Update a set with the union of itself and others.
