为了实现多个构造器，你需要使用到类方法。例如：
<pre style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: SFMono-Regular, Menlo, Monaco, Consolas, "Liberation Mono", "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: 12px; white-space: pre; margin: 0px; padding: 12px; display: block; overflow: auto; line-height: 1.4;">import time
class Date:
"""方法一：使用类方法"""
# Primary constructor
def init(self, year, month, day):
self.year = year
self.month = month
self.day = day
# Alternate constructor
@classmethod
def today(cls):
t = time.localtime()
return cls(t.tm_year, t.tm_mon, t.tm_mday)
</pre>
直接调用类方法即可，下面是使用示例：
<pre style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: SFMono-Regular, Menlo, Monaco, Consolas, "Liberation Mono", "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: 12px; white-space: pre; margin: 0px; padding: 12px; display: block; overflow: auto; line-height: 1.4;">a = Date(2012, 12, 21) # Primary
b = Date.today() # Alternate
</pre>
讨论
类方法的一个主要用途就是定义多个构造器。它接受一个 class 作为第一个参数(cls)。 你应该注意到了这个类被用来创建并返回最终的实例。在继承时也能工作的很好：
<pre style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: SFMono-Regular, Menlo, Monaco, Consolas, "Liberation Mono", "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: 12px; white-space: pre; margin: 0px; padding: 12px; display: block; overflow: auto; line-height: 1.4;">class NewDate(Date):
pass
c = Date.today() # Creates an instance of Date (cls=Date)
d = NewDate.today() # Creates an instance of NewDate (cls=NewDate)</pre>
