Python Magic Methods - Python 中的魔法方法

Python 中的对象都有诸如 __init__() 这样的方法，它们都有各自特定的用途，却
无法直接被调用。虽然无法被直接调用，实际上你却经常在使用这些方法，比如创建对象实例式
就调用了 __new__() 和 __init__ 方法。那么这些魔法方法还有那些其它的有趣用法呢？

操作符重载

Python 中的操作符运算实际上都是在隐式地调用这些魔法方法，如果你重写了对应的魔法方法，
就能修改操作符的运算规则。比如，逻辑或操作符 | 对应了魔法方法 __ror__，
因此我们可以重载 __ror__ 来实现类似 Shell 中的管道：

class Pipe(object):
    def __init__(self, func):
        self.func = func
    def __ror__(self, other):
        def generator():
            for obj in other:
                if obj is not None:
                    yield self.func(obj)
        return generator()
@Pipe
def even_filter(num):
    return num if num % 2 == 0 else None
@Pipe
def multiply_by_three(num):
    return num*3
@Pipe
def convert_to_string(num):
    return 'The Number: %s' % num
@Pipe
def echo(item):
    print item
    return item
def force(sqs):
    for item in sqs: pass
nums = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
force(nums | even_filter | multiply_by_three | convert_to_string | echo)
