当通过传递对象调用不同的方法时,isinstance的使用是合理的

我正在研究能够读取文件的低级数据,即映射等的小工具,并使用python的内置sqlite API将结果存储到sqlite DB。

对于已解析的文件数据,我有3个类:

class GenericFile: # general file class 
    # bunch of methods here
    ...
class SomeFileObject_A: # low level class for storing objects of kind SomeFileObject_A
    # bunch of methods here
    ...
class SomeFileObject_B: # low level cass for storing objects of kind SomeFileObject_A
    # bunch of methods here
    ...

sqlite接口是作为一个单独的类实现的:

class Database:
    def insert(self, object_to_insert):
    ...
    def _insert_generic_file_object(self, object_to_insert):
    ...
    def _insert_file_object_a(self, object_to_insert):
    ...
    def _insert_file_object_b(self, object_to_insert):
    ...
    # bunch of sqlite related methods

当我需要向DB插入一些对象时,我正在使用db.insert(object)

现在我认为在我的isinstance方法中使用insert可能是个好主意,因为它会处理任何插入的对象,而不需要为每个对象显式调用合适的方法,更优雅。 但是在isinstance上阅读更多内容之后,我开始怀疑,我的设计并不是那么好。

以下是通用insert方法的实现:

class Database:
    def insert(self, object_to_insert):
        self._logger.info("inserting %s object", object_to_insert.__class__.__name__)
        if isinstance(object_to_insert, GenericFile):
            self._insert_generic_file_object(object_to_insert)
        elif isinstance(object_to_insert, SomeFileObject_A):
            self._insert_file_object_a(object_to_insert)
        elif isinstance(object_to_insert, SomeFileObject_B):
            self._insert_file_object_b(object_to_insert)
        else:
            self._logger.error("Insert Failed. Bad object type %s" % type(object_to_insert))
            raise Exception
        self._db_connection.commit()

那么,在我的情况下应该避免isinstace,如果它应该,那么这里有什么更好的解决方案?

OO的基本原则之一是用多态分派替换显式开关。在您的情况下,解决方案是使用双重调度,因此FileObect负责知道调用哪个Database方法,即:

class GenericFile: # general file class 
    # bunch of methods here
    ...
    def insert(self, db):
        return db.insert_generic_file_object(self)


class SomeFileObject_A: # low level class for storing objects of kind SomeFileObject_A
    # bunch of methods here
    ...
    def insert(self, db):
        return db.insert_file_object_a(self)


class SomeFileObject_B: # low level cass for storing objects of kind SomeFileObject_A
    # bunch of methods here
    ...
    def insert(self, db):
        return db.insert_file_object_b(self)


class Database:
    def insert(self, obj):
        return obj.insert(self)
