# Python Classes
PyO3 exposes a group of attributes powered by Rust's proc macro system for defining Python classes as Rust structs. This chapter will discuss the functionality and configuration they offer.
For ease of discovery, below is a list of all custom attributes with links to the relevant section of this chapter:
- [`#[pyclass]`](#defining-a-new-class)
- [`#[pyo3(get, set)]`](#object-properties-using-pyo3get-set)
- [`#[pymethods]`](#instance-methods)
- [`#[new]`](#constructor)
- [`#[getter]`](#object-properties-using-getter-and-setter)
- [`#[setter]`](#object-properties-using-getter-and-setter)
- [`#[staticmethod]`](#static-methods)
- [`#[classmethod]`](#class-methods)
- [`#[call]`](#callable-objects)
- [`#[classattr]`](#class-attributes)
- [`#[args]`](#method-arguments)
- [`#[pyproto]`](class/protocols.html)
## Defining a new class
To define a custom Python class, a Rust struct needs to be annotated with the
`#[pyclass]` attribute.
```rust
# use pyo3::prelude::*;
#[pyclass]
struct MyClass {
num: i32,
debug: bool,
}
```
Because Python objects are freely shared between threads by the Python interpreter, all structs annotated with `#[pyclass]` must implement `Send`.
The above example generates implementations for [`PyTypeInfo`], [`PyTypeObject`], and [`PyClass`] for `MyClass`. To see these generated implementations, refer to the section [How methods are implemented](#how-methods-are-implemented) at the end of this chapter.
## Adding the class to a module
Custom Python classes can then be added to a module using `add_class()`.
```rust
# use pyo3::prelude::*;
# #[pyclass]
# struct MyClass {
# num: i32,
# debug: bool,
# }
#[pymodule]
fn mymodule(_py: Python, m: &PyModule) -> PyResult<()> {
m.add_class::<MyClass>()?;
Ok(())
}
```
## PyCell and interior mutability
You sometimes need to convert your `pyclass` into a Python object and access it
from Rust code (e.g., for testing it).
[`PyCell`] is the primary interface for that.
`PyCell<T: PyClass>` is always allocated in the Python heap, so Rust doesn't have ownership of it.
In other words, Rust code can only extract a `&PyCell<T>`, not a `PyCell<T>`.
Thus, to mutate data behind `&PyCell` safely, PyO3 employs the
[Interior Mutability Pattern](https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ch15-05-interior-mutability.html)
like [`RefCell`].
Users who are familiar with `RefCell` can use `PyCell` just like `RefCell`.
For users who are not very familiar with `RefCell`, here is a reminder of Rust's rules of borrowing:
- At any given time, you can have either (but not both of) one mutable reference or any number of immutable references.
- References must always be valid.
`PyCell`, like `RefCell`, ensures these borrowing rules by tracking references at runtime.
```rust
# use pyo3::prelude::*;
# use pyo3::types::PyDict;
#[pyclass]
struct MyClass {
#[pyo3(get)]
num: i32,
debug: bool,
}
let gil = Python::acquire_gil();
let py = gil.python();
let obj = PyCell::new(py, MyClass { num: 3, debug: true }).unwrap();
{
let obj_ref = obj.borrow(); // Get PyRef
assert_eq!(obj_ref.num, 3);
// You cannot get PyRefMut unless all PyRefs are dropped
assert!(obj.try_borrow_mut().is_err());
}
{
let mut obj_mut = obj.borrow_mut(); // Get PyRefMut
obj_mut.num = 5;
// You cannot get any other refs until the PyRefMut is dropped
assert!(obj.try_borrow().is_err());
assert!(obj.try_borrow_mut().is_err());
}
// You can convert `&PyCell` to a Python object
pyo3::py_run!(py, obj, "assert obj.num == 5")
```
`&PyCell<T>` is bounded by the same lifetime as a [`GILGuard`].
To make the object longer lived (for example, to store it in a struct on the
Rust side), you can use `Py<T>`, which stores an object longer than the GIL
lifetime, and therefore needs a `Python<'_>` token to access.
```rust
# use pyo3::prelude::*;
#[pyclass]
struct MyClass {
num: i32,
}
fn return_myclass() -> Py<MyClass> {
let gil = Python::acquire_gil();
let py = gil.python();
Py::new(py, MyClass { num: 1 }).unwrap()
}
let gil = Python::acquire_gil();
let obj = return_myclass();
let cell = obj.as_ref(gil.python()); // Py<MyClass>::as_ref returns &PyCell<MyClass>
let obj_ref = cell.borrow(); // Get PyRef<T>
assert_eq!(obj_ref.num, 1);
```
## Customizing the class
The `#[pyclass]` macro accepts the following parameters:
* `name="XXX"` - Set the class name shown in Python code. By default, the struct name is used as the class name.
* `freelist=XXX` - The `freelist` parameter adds support of free allocation list to custom class.
The performance improvement applies to types that are often created and deleted in a row,
so that they can benefit from a freelist. `XXX` is a number of items for the free list.
* `gc` - Classes with the `gc` parameter participate in Python garbage collection.
If a custom class contains references to other Python objects that can be collected, the [`PyGCProtocol`](https://docs.rs/pyo3/latest/pyo3/class/gc/trait.PyGCProtocol.html) trait has to be implemented.
* `weakref` - Adds support for Python weak references.
* `extends=BaseType` - Use a custom base class. The base `BaseType` must implement `PyTypeInfo`.
* `subclass` - Allows Python classes to inherit from this class.
* `dict` - Adds `__dict__` support, so that the instances of this type have a dictionary containing arbitrary instance variables.
* `unsendable` - Making it safe to expose `!Send` structs to Python, where all object can be accessed
by multiple threads. A class marked with `unsendable` panics when accessed by another thread.
* `module="XXX"` - Set the name of the module the class will be shown as defined in. If not given, the class
will be a virtual member of the `builtins` module.
## Constructor
By default it is not possible to create an instance of a custom class from Python code.
To declare a constructor, you need to define a method and annotate it with the `#[new]`
attribute. Only Python's `__new__` method can be specified, `__init__` is not available.
```rust
# use pyo3::prelude::*;
#[pyclass]
struct MyClass {
num: i32,
}
#[pymethods]
impl MyClass {
#[new]
fn new(num: i32) -> Self {
MyClass { num }
}
}
```
If no method marked with `#[new]` is declared, object instances can only be
created from Rust, but not from Python.
For arguments, see the `Method arguments` section below.
### Return type
Generally, `#[new]` method have to return `T: Into<PyClassInitializer<Self>>` or
`PyResult<T> where T: Into<PyClassInitializer<Self>>`.
For constructors that may fail, you should wrap the return type in a PyResult as well.
Consult the table below to determine which type your constructor should return:
|**No inheritance** | `T` | `PyResult<T>` |
|**Inheritance(T Inherits U)**| `(T, U)` | `PyResult<(T, U)>` |
|**Inheritance(General Case)**| [`PyClassInitializer<T>`] | `PyResult<PyClassInitializer<T>>` |
## Inheritance
By default, `PyAny` is used as the base class. To override this default,
use the `extends` parameter for `pyclass` with the full path to the base class.
For convenience, `(T, U)` implements `Into<PyClassInitializer<T>>` where `U` is the
baseclass of `T`.
But for more deeply nested inheritance, you have to return `PyClassInitializer<T>`
explicitly.
To get a parent class from a child, use [`PyRef`] instead of `&self` for methods,
or [`PyRefMut`] instead of `&mut self`.
Then you can access a parent class by `self_.as_ref()` as `&Self::BaseClass`,
or by `self_.into_super()` as `PyRef<Self::BaseClass>`.
```rust
# use pyo3::prelude::*;
#[pyclass(subclass)]
struct BaseClass {
val1: usize,
}
#[pymethods]
impl BaseClass {
#[new]
fn new() -> Self {
BaseClass { val1: 10 }
}
pub fn method(&self) -> PyResult<usize> {
Ok(self.val1)
}
}
#[pyclass(extends=BaseClass, subclass)]
struct SubClass {
val2: usize,
}
#[pymethods]
impl SubClass {
#[new]
fn new() -> (Self, BaseClass) {
(SubClass { val2: 15 }, BaseClass::new())
}
fn method2(self_: PyRef<Self>) -> PyResult<usize> {
let super_ = self_.as_ref(); // Get &BaseClass
super_.method().map(|x| x * self_.val2)
}
}
#[pyclass(extends=SubClass)]
struct SubSubClass {
val3: usize,
}
#[pymethods]
impl SubSubClass {
#[new]
fn new() -> PyClassInitializer<Self> {
PyClassInitializer::from(SubClass::new())
.add_subclass(SubSubClass{val3: 20})
}
fn method3(self_: PyRef<Self>) -> PyResult<usize> {
let v = self_.val3;
let super_ = self_.into_super(); // Get PyRef<SubClass>
SubClass::method2(super_).map(|x| x * v)
}
}
# let gil = Python::acquire_gil();
# let py = gil.python();
# let subsub = pyo3::PyCell::new(py, SubSubClass::new()).unwrap();
# pyo3::py_run!(py, subsub, "assert subsub.method3() == 3000")
```
You can also inherit native types such as `PyDict`, if they implement
[`PySizedLayout`](https://docs.rs/pyo3/latest/pyo3/type_object/trait.PySizedLayout.html). However, this is not supported when building for the Python limited API (aka the `abi3` feature of PyO3).
However, because of some technical problems, we don't currently provide safe upcasting methods for types
that inherit native types. Even in such cases, you can unsafely get a base class by raw pointer conversion.
```rust
# #[cfg(Py_LIMITED_API)] fn main() {}
# #[cfg(not(Py_LIMITED_API))] fn main() {
# use pyo3::prelude::*;
use pyo3::types::PyDict;
use pyo3::{AsPyPointer, PyNativeType};
use std::collections::HashMap;
#[pyclass(extends=PyDict)]
#[derive(Default)]
struct DictWithCounter {
counter: HashMap<String, usize>,
}
#[pymethods]
impl DictWithCounter {
#[new]
fn new() -> Self {
Self::default()
}
fn set(mut self_: PyRefMut<Self>, key: String, value: &PyAny) -> PyResult<()> {
self_.counter.entry(key.clone()).or_insert(0);
let py = self_.py();
let dict: &PyDict = unsafe { py.from_borrowed_ptr_or_err(self_.as_ptr())? };
dict.set_item(key, value)
}
}
# let gil = Python::acquire_gil();
# let py = gil.python();
# let cnt = pyo3::PyCell::new(py, DictWithCounter::new()).unwrap();
# pyo3::py_run!(py, cnt, "cnt.set('abc', 10); assert cnt['abc'] == 10")
# }
```
If `SubClass` does not provide a baseclass initialization, the compilation fails.
```compile_fail
# use pyo3::prelude::*;
#[pyclass]
struct BaseClass {
val1: usize,
}
#[pyclass(extends=BaseClass)]
struct SubClass {
val2: usize,
}
#[pymethods]
impl SubClass {
#[new]
fn new() -> Self {
SubClass { val2: 15 }
}
}
```
## Object properties
PyO3 supports two ways to add properties to your `#[pyclass]`:
- For simple fields with no side effects, a `#[pyo3(get, set)]` attribute can be added directly to the field definition in the `#[pyclass]`.
- For properties which require computation you can define `#[getter]` and `#[setter]` functions in the `#[pymethods]` block.
We'll cover each of these in the following sections.
### Object properties using `#[pyo3(get, set)]`
For simple cases where a member variable is just read and written with no side effects, you can declare getters and setters in your `#[pyclass]` field definition using the `pyo3` attribute, like in the example below:
```rust
# use pyo3::prelude::*;
#[pyclass]
struct MyClass {
#[pyo3(get, set)]
num: i32
}
```
The above would make the `num` property available for reading and writing from Python code as `self.num`.
Properties can be readonly or writeonly by using just `#[pyo3(get)]` or `#[pyo3(set)]` respectively.
To use these annotations, your field type must implement some conversion traits:
- For `get` the field type must implement both `IntoPy<PyObject>` and `Clone`.
- For `set` the field type must implement `FromPyObject`.
### Object properties using `#[getter]` and `#[setter]`
For cases which don't satisfy the `#[pyo3(get, set)]` trait requirements, or need side effects, descriptor methods can be defined in a `#[pymethods]` `impl` block.
This is done using the `#[getter]` and `#[setter]` attributes, like in the example below:
```rust
# use pyo3::prelude::*;
#[pyclass]
struct MyClass {
num: i32,
}
#[pymethods]
impl MyClass {
#[getter]
fn num(&self) -> PyResult<i32> {
Ok(self.num)
}
}
```
A getter or setter's function name is used as the property name by default. There are several
ways how to override the name.
If a function name starts with `get_` or `set_` for getter or setter respectively,
the descriptor name becomes the function name with this prefix removed. This is also useful in case of
Rust keywords like `type`
([raw identifiers](https://doc.rust-lang.org/edition-guide/rust-2018/module-system/raw-identifiers.html)
can be used since Rust 2018).
```rust
# use pyo3::prelude::*;
# #[pyclass]
# struct MyClass {
# num: i32,
# }
#[pymethods]
impl MyClass {
#[getter]
fn get_num(&self) -> PyResult<i32> {
Ok(self.num)
}
#[setter]
fn set_num(&mut self, value: i32) -> PyResult<()> {
self.num = value;
Ok(())
}
}
```
In this case, a property `num` is defined and available from Python code as `self.num`.
Both the `#[getter]` and `#[setter]` attributes accept one parameter.
If this parameter is specified, it is used as the property name, i.e.
```rust
# use pyo3::prelude::*;
# #[pyclass]
# struct MyClass {
# num: i32,
# }
#[pymethods]
impl MyClass {
#[getter(number)]
fn num(&self) -> PyResult<i32> {
Ok(self.num)
}
#[setter(number)]
fn set_num(&mut self, value: i32) -> PyResult<()> {
self.num = value;
Ok(())
}
}
```
In this case, the property `number` is defined and available from Python code as `self.number`.
## Instance methods
To define a Python compatible method, an `impl` block for your struct has to be annotated with the
`#[pymethods]` attribute. PyO3 generates Python compatible wrappers for all functions in this
block with some variations, like descriptors, class method static methods, etc.
Since Rust allows any number of `impl` blocks, you can easily split methods
between those accessible to Python (and Rust) and those accessible only to Rust.
```rust
# use pyo3::prelude::*;
# #[pyclass]
# struct MyClass {
# num: i32,
# }
#[pymethods]
impl MyClass {
fn method1(&self) -> PyResult<i32> {
Ok(10)
}
fn set_method(&mut self, value: i32) -> PyResult<()> {
self.num = value;
Ok(())
}
}
```
Calls to these methods are protected by the GIL, so both `&self` and `&mut self` can be used.
The return type must be `PyResult<T>` or `T` for some `T` that implements `IntoPy<PyObject>`;
the latter is allowed if the method cannot raise Python exceptions.
A `Python` parameter can be specified as part of method signature, in this case the `py` argument
gets injected by the method wrapper, e.g.
```rust
# use pyo3::prelude::*;
# #[pyclass]
# struct MyClass {
# num: i32,
# debug: bool,
# }
#[pymethods]
impl MyClass {
fn method2(&self, py: Python) -> PyResult<i32> {
Ok(10)
}
}
```
From the Python perspective, the `method2` in this example does not accept any arguments.
## Class methods
To create a class method for a custom class, the method needs to be annotated
with the `#[classmethod]` attribute.
This is the equivalent of the Python decorator `@classmethod`.
```rust
# use pyo3::prelude::*;
# use pyo3::types::PyType;
# #[pyclass]
# struct MyClass {
# num: i32,
# debug: bool,
# }
#[pymethods]
impl MyClass {
#[classmethod]
fn cls_method(cls: &PyType) -> PyResult<i32> {
Ok(10)
}
}
```
Declares a class method callable from Python.
* The first parameter is the type object of the class on which the method is called.
This may be the type object of a derived class.
* The first parameter implicitly has type `&PyType`.
* For details on `parameter-list`, see the documentation of `Method arguments` section.
* The return type must be `PyResult<T>` or `T` for some `T` that implements `IntoPy<PyObject>`.
## Static methods
To create a static method for a custom class, the method needs to be annotated with the
`#[staticmethod]` attribute. The return type must be `T` or `PyResult<T>` for some `T` that implements
`IntoPy<PyObject>`.
```rust
# use pyo3::prelude::*;
# #[pyclass]
# struct MyClass {
# num: i32,
# debug: bool,
# }
#[pymethods]
impl MyClass {
#[staticmethod]
fn static_method(param1: i32, param2: &str) -> PyResult<i32> {
Ok(10)
}
}
```
## Class attributes
To create a class attribute (also called [class variable][classattr]), a method without
any arguments can be annotated with the `#[classattr]` attribute. The return type must be `T` for
some `T` that implements `IntoPy<PyObject>`.
```rust
# use pyo3::prelude::*;
# #[pyclass]
# struct MyClass {}
#[pymethods]
impl MyClass {
#[classattr]
fn my_attribute() -> String {
"hello".to_string()
}
}
let gil = Python::acquire_gil();
let py = gil.python();
let my_class = py.get_type::<MyClass>();
pyo3::py_run!(py, my_class, "assert my_class.my_attribute == 'hello'")
```
Note that unlike class variables defined in Python code, class attributes defined in Rust cannot
be mutated at all:
```rust,ignore
// Would raise a `TypeError: can't set attributes of built-in/extension type 'MyClass'`
pyo3::py_run!(py, my_class, "my_class.my_attribute = 'foo'")
```
If the class attribute is defined with `const` code only, one can also annotate associated
constants:
```rust
# use pyo3::prelude::*;
# #[pyclass]
# struct MyClass {}
#[pymethods]
impl MyClass {
#[classattr]
const MY_CONST_ATTRIBUTE: &'static str = "foobar";
}
```
## Callable objects
To specify a custom `__call__` method for a custom class, the method needs to be annotated with
the `#[call]` attribute. Arguments of the method are specified as for instance methods.
```rust
# use pyo3::prelude::*;
use pyo3::types::PyTuple;
# #[pyclass]
# struct MyClass {
# num: i32,
# debug: bool,
# }
#[pymethods]
impl MyClass {
#[call]
#[args(args="*")]
fn __call__(&self, args: &PyTuple) -> PyResult<i32> {
println!("MyClass has been called");
Ok(self.num)
}
}
```
## Method arguments
By default, PyO3 uses function signatures to determine which arguments are required. Then it scans
the incoming `args` and `kwargs` parameters. If it can not find all required
parameters, it raises a `TypeError` exception. It is possible to override the default behavior
with the `#[args(...)]` attribute. This attribute accepts a comma separated list of parameters in
the form of `attr_name="default value"`. Each parameter has to match the method parameter by name.
Each parameter can be one of the following types:
* `"*"`: var arguments separator, each parameter defined after `"*"` is a keyword-only parameter.
Corresponds to python's `def meth(*, arg1.., arg2=..)`.
* `args="*"`: "args" is var args, corresponds to Python's `def meth(*args)`. Type of the `args`
parameter has to be `&PyTuple`.
* `kwargs="**"`: "kwargs" receives keyword arguments, corresponds to Python's `def meth(**kwargs)`.
The type of the `kwargs` parameter has to be `Option<&PyDict>`.
* `arg="Value"`: arguments with default value. Corresponds to Python's `def meth(arg=Value)`.
If the `arg` argument is defined after var arguments, it is treated as a keyword-only argument.
Note that `Value` has to be valid rust code, PyO3 just inserts it into the generated
code unmodified.
Example:
```rust
# use pyo3::prelude::*;
use pyo3::types::{PyDict, PyTuple};
#
# #[pyclass]
# struct MyClass {
# num: i32,
# debug: bool,
# }
#[pymethods]
impl MyClass {
#[new]
#[args(num = "-1", debug = "true")]
fn new(num: i32, debug: bool) -> Self {
MyClass { num, debug }
}
#[args(
num = "10",
debug = "true",
py_args = "*",
name = "\"Hello\"",
py_kwargs = "**"
)]
fn method(
&mut self,
num: i32,
debug: bool,
name: &str,
py_args: &PyTuple,
py_kwargs: Option<&PyDict>,
) -> PyResult<String> {
self.debug = debug;
self.num = num;
Ok(format!(
"py_args={:?}, py_kwargs={:?}, name={}, num={}, debug={}",
py_args, py_kwargs, name, self.num, self.debug
))
}
fn make_change(&mut self, num: i32, debug: bool) -> PyResult<String> {
self.num = num;
self.debug = debug;
Ok(format!("num={}, debug={}", self.num, self.debug))
}
}
```
N.B. the position of the `"*"` argument (if included) controls the system of handling positional and keyword arguments. In Python:
```python
import mymodule
mc = mymodule.MyClass()
print(mc.method(44, False, "World", 666, x=44, y=55))
print(mc.method(num=-1, name="World"))
print(mc.make_change(44, False))
print(mc.make_change(debug=False, num=-1))
```
Produces output:
```text
py_args=('World', 666), py_kwargs=Some({'x': 44, 'y': 55}), name=Hello, num=44, debug=false
py_args=(), py_kwargs=None, name=World, num=-1, debug=true
num=44, debug=false
num=-1, debug=false
```
## How methods are implemented
Users should be able to define a `#[pyclass]` with or without `#[pymethods]`, while PyO3 needs a
trait with a function that returns all methods. Since it's impossible to make the code generation in
pyclass dependent on whether there is an impl block, we'd need to implement the trait on
`#[pyclass]` and override the implementation in `#[pymethods]`.
To enable this, we use a static registry type provided by [inventory](https://github.com/dtolnay/inventory),
which allows us to collect `impl`s from arbitrary source code by exploiting some binary trick.
See [inventory: how it works](https://github.com/dtolnay/inventory#how-it-works) and `pyo3_macros_backend::py_class` for more details.
Also for `#[pyproto]`, we use a similar, but more task-specific registry and
initialize it using the [ctor](https://github.com/mmastrac/rust-ctor) crate.
Specifically, the following implementation is generated:
```rust
use pyo3::prelude::*;
/// Class for demonstration

num: i32,
debug: bool,
}
impl pyo3::pyclass::PyClassAlloc for MyClass {}
