Python里怎么实现类似Constants.CODE_200这样不可修改的HTTP状态码常量？

### 定义和使用表示成功状态码200的常量在Python中，可以通过创建一个类来封装HTTP响应的状态码作为常量。这不仅提高了代码的可读性和维护性，也遵循了面向对象编程的原则。对于定义不可变的常量，在Python里可以利用描述符或者自定义属性设置方法实现只读特性[^2]。下面是一个简单的例子展示如何定义并使用名为`Constants`的类来保存HTTP成功的状态码： ```python class Constant: """A descriptor to create read-only attributes.""" def __init__(self, value=None): self.value = value def __get__(self, instance, owner): return self.value def __set__(self, instance, value): raise ValueError("You can't change a constant") class Constants: CODE_200 = Constant(200) # 成功状态码 ``` 通过这种方式，当尝试修改这些所谓的“常量”的时候会抛出异常，从而防止意外更改其值。要访问此常量，只需像这样引用它即可: ```python print(Constants.CODE_200) # 输出: 200 ``` 如果试图改变它的值则会发生错误： ```python try: Constants.CODE_200 = 404 except ValueError as e: print(e) # 输出: You can't change a constant ``` 这种做法使得程序更加健壮，并且让其他开发者清楚哪些数值不应该被随意改动。
