关于廖雪峰提到的元类的应用实例的解释

class Field(object):

    def __init__(self, name, column_type):
        self.name = name
        self.column_type = column_type

    def __str__(self):
        return ‘<%s:%s‘ % (self.__class__.__name__, self.name)

class StringField(Field):

    def __init__(self, name):
        super(StringField, self).__init__(name, ‘varchar(100)‘)

class IntegerField(Field):

    def __init__(self, name):
        super(IntegerField, self).__init__(name, ‘bigint‘)

class ModelMetaclass(type):

    def __new__(cls, name, bases, attrs):   #传入的是类的属性
        if name==‘Model‘:
           return type.__new__(cls, name, bases, attrs)
        print(attrs)
        print(‘Found model: %s‘ % name)
        mappings = dict()

        for k, v in attrs.items():
            if isinstance(v, Field):
                print(‘Found mapping: %s ==> %s‘ % (k, v))
                mappings[k] = v
        for k in mappings.keys():
            attrs.pop(k)
        attrs[‘__mappings__‘] = mappings # 保存属性和列的映射关系
        attrs[‘__table__‘] = name # 假设表名和类名一致
        return type.__new__(cls, name, bases, attrs)

class Model(dict, metaclass=ModelMetaclass):

    def __init__(self, **kw):
        super(Model, self).__init__(**kw)

    def __getattr__(self, key):
        try:
            return self[key]
        except KeyError:
            raise AttributeError(r"‘Model‘ object has no attribute ‘%s‘" % key)

    def __setattr__(self, key, value):
        self[key] = value

    def save(self):
        fields = []
        params = []
        args = []
        for k, v in self.__mappings__.items():
            fields.append(v.name)
            params.append(‘?‘)
            args.append(getattr(self, k, None))
        sql = ‘insert into %s (%s) values (%s)‘ % (self.__table__, ‘,‘.join(fields), ‘,‘.join(params))
        print(‘SQL: %s‘ % sql)
        print(‘ARGS: %s‘ % str(args))

class User(Model):
    # 定义类的属性到列的映射：
    id = IntegerField(‘id‘)
    name = StringField(‘username‘)
    email = StringField(‘email‘)
    password = StringField(‘password‘)

u = User(id=12345, name=‘Michael‘, email=‘[email protected]‘, password=‘my-pwd‘,sdfjojf=‘sdfe‘)
u.save()

当创建实例时，需要调用User类，首先会检查有没有__metaclass__属性，找到了，通过metalclass创建类（基于User类，传入的name为User，父类为Model，属性为User类的属性）。之后在实例化过程中，需要调用创建的新的User类中的方法，如果没有，需要到父类（metalclass创建新类会传承User类的父类）中查找，比如说之后会调用__init__方法，之后又调用save方法。
