What's the difference between the "__new__" and "__init__" magic methods in Python? New is for object creation, and init is for object initialization. It is rare that a programmer would actually need to override new, so let's see some examples of how it can be used.

The value of a singleton is when you need an abstraction to something where there is an actual constraint that "there can be only one". The classic example is hardware access. Suppose you open a connection to a device that only supports a single connection (e.g. a COM port), and a set of objects that can access that device. Making the device abstraction a singleton is a great design pattern. Any object can instantiate the device object. If it's the first one, a new object is instantiated. If it's a subsequent construction, the object gets a reference to the already instantiated device.

In the Singleton example, do you not have the problem that __init__() will be called multiple times? If __init__() does anything non-trivial, this could be a huge problem. Or does overriding __new__() mean that __init__() might not get called? But that's not what it looks like at 1:20
@mCoding
@mCoding 2 жыл бұрын
The code at 1:20 gets called every time someone does Singleton(), so indeed every time you call this, the init will be called, and hence if new is returning a single instance the init will be called on the same object as many times as Singleton() is written. Therefore, if you use the singleton pattern this way, your init should either be empty or at least not modify the object. Most builtin types either have any empty new or an empty init.

Really cool! The singleton pattern was the first thing that came to mind for me when I learned about the __new__() method. However, there is a small problem that other languages don't have. When you return the an instance in __new__(), __init__() will ALWAYS be called (if the type returned is correct). This means that in the singleton pattern, whenever you use the constructor to get the existing instance, it will be reinitialized, unless you explicitly add a check at the start of your implementation so it is only initialized once. Here is an example of a complete implementation of the singleton pattern circumventing that issue: ``` class Singleton: __instance = None __initialized = False def __new__(cls): if cls.__instance is None: cls.__instance = super(Test, cls).__new__(cls) return cls.__instance def __init__(self): # Check if the class has been initialized if self.__initialized: return # Mark the class as initialized, so that the initialization code # doesn't run more than once when the class is instantiated again self.__initialized = True # Actual initialization code self.attr = 1 ```

python supports abstract classes in a kinda unusual way. You need to use an abc module and do something like this: from abc import ABC, abstractmethod class Abstract(ABC): @abstractmethod def someMethod(): pass This essentially makes it so you can't create an instance of an abstract class and any class inheriting from it has to define all methods marked as abstract or else it'll cause a TypeError when you try to create an instance of a derived class.

Thumbs up for how clearly you explain these things, however I do feel as there could have been more examples on subclassing immutable data types and restricting their domain. Say if you want to make a class for natural numbers that inherits from int, or a string that's strictly an email address. Doing validation at the type level encourages the "parse, don't validate" design pattern, that I personally think we could use more of.

@mCoding
@mCoding 2 жыл бұрын
Hi Darian! Global configuration is one of those things that I've yet to find "the one true answer" for, unfortunately. Due to the nature of it being global it often times does make sense to have it as some kind of global object, though the singleton pattern specifically is particularly confusing for many developers and it also makes testing difficult. I would say that just having a single global instance is often times a decent solution. Note that a single global instance is different from a singleton because you could theoretically make another instance of the global config, you just choose not to, whereas with a singleton you would have to do some class surgery to make another instance (typically necessary during testing code).

if you implement some sort of plugin pattern with factory class instances. Using the singelton pattern to solve that is a very good solution.

Most often, __new__ is used to inherit from a builtin immutable type. There are some very niche cases (e.g. defining Cython extension classes) where it can make things faster, but this is not usually its purpose.

The uppercase tuple is great candidate for a coding challenge. I'll use it on my colleagues.

Thank you for another great video. The comment mentioning that a singleton has the same issue as a global variable misses the point of a singleton. A singleton is only used when, by design, only one instance is desired. Usually this is a poor design choice, but not always. There are some cases where only one item of a given type should exist. I agree about using the Factory patter. The book, "Design Patterns" changed the way I design code. I knew some of the contexts. That book provided a way to think and communicate design ideas.

The main topic of this video was definitely interesting, but at 6:30, I learned that you can make an f string print the expression as well as the evaluation by adding an = inside the curly braces. Now I'll need to actually read the documentation on f strings to see if there are any other special bits like that. I just thought it looked at the content of braces, evaluated them, concatenated the string, and then printed it, but apparently it does a lot more than that, since {x is y =} should give a syntax error. EDIT: and now I see that you have a video on that very topic. Watching now.

an annoying issue with the singleton/caching use case is it will call __init__ on your pre-existing object every time, essentially making __init__ unusable, which can be a rather unfortunate gotcha. In these cases it's almost always more clear to use a function/classmethod instead, and maybe use a different language feature to prevent __init__ from being called nakedly.

But if you don’t put anything in your init method, then it will do nothing. Put all the object setup in the new method instead.

What about the prefix argument in the inheritence statement? Can we pass such arguments that way? :o

Hello James, do you think you could explain one day the entire process of object creation? Because I suppose, that there must be something like type.__call__() function in the very beginning of the object creation process. I tried to do my research and even implement some stuff, but haven´t succeeded getting past some kind of "super().__call__()" in my metaclass - didn´t know, what to put as parameters etc. Also, one more thing. When I inspect the frame one step back of the __new__ , it shows the scope of where the cls(args, kwargs) was called, which I find surprising, since I would expect something like '.__call__' or something. Something cursed is going on here.
