一、Python介绍
从我开始学习Python时我就决定维护一个经常使用的“窍门”列表。不论何时当我看到一段让我觉得“酷，这样也行！”的代码时（在一个例子中、在StackOverflow、在开源码软件中，等等），我会尝试它直到理解它，然后把它添加到列表中。这篇文章是清理过列表的一部分。如果你是一个有经验的Python程序员，尽管你可能已经知道一些，但你仍能发现一些你不知道的。如果你是一个正在学习Python的C、C++或Java程序员，或者刚开始学习编程，那么你会像我一样发现它们中的很多非常有用。
每个窍门或语言特性只能通过实例来验证，无需过多解释。虽然我已尽力使例子清晰，但它们中的一些仍会看起来有些复杂，这取决于你的熟悉程度。所以如果看过例子后还不清楚的话，标题能够提供足够的信息让你通过Google获取详细的内容。
二、Python的语言特征
列表按难度排序，常用的语言特征和技巧放在前面。
1. 分拆
复制代码 代码如下:
> a, b, c = 1, 2, 3
> a, b, c
(1, 2, 3)
> a, b, c = [1, 2, 3]
> a, b, c
(1, 2, 3)
> a, b, c = (2 * i + 1 for i in range(3))
> a, b, c
(1, 3, 5)
> a, (b, c), d = [1, (2, 3), 4]
> a
1
> b
2
> c
3
> d
4
2.交换变量分拆
复制代码 代码如下:
> a, b = 1, 2
> a, b = b, a
> a, b
(2, 1)
3.拓展分拆 (Python 3下适用)
复制代码 代码如下:
> a, *b, c = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
> a
1
> b
[2, 3, 4]
> c
5
4.负索引
复制代码 代码如下:
> a = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
> a[-1]
10
> a[-3]
8
5.列表切片 (a[start:end])
复制代码 代码如下:
> a = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
> a[2:8]
[2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]
6.使用负索引的列表切片
复制代码 代码如下:
> a = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
> a[-4:-2]
[7, 8]
7.带步进值的列表切片 (a[start:end:step])
复制代码 代码如下:
> a = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
> a[::2]
[0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10]
> a[::3]
[0, 3, 6, 9]
> a[2:8:2]
[2, 4, 6]
8.负步进值得列表切片
复制代码 代码如下:
> a = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
> a[::-1]
[10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0]
> a[::-2]
[10, 8, 6, 4, 2, 0]
9.列表切片赋值
复制代码 代码如下:
> a = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
> a[2:3] = [0, 0]
> a
[1, 2, 0, 0, 4, 5]
> a[1:1] = [8, 9]
> a
[1, 8, 9, 2, 0, 0, 4, 5]
> a[1:-1] = []
> a
[1, 5]
10.命名切片 (slice(start, end, step))
复制代码 代码如下:
> a = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
> LASTTHREE = slice(-3, None)
> LASTTHREE
slice(-3, None, None)
> a[LASTTHREE]
[3, 4, 5]
11.zip打包解包列表和倍数
复制代码 代码如下:
> a = [1, 2, 3]
> b = ['a', 'b', 'c']
> z = zip(a, b)
> z
[(1, 'a'), (2, 'b'), (3, 'c')]
> zip(*z)
[(1, 2, 3), ('a', 'b', 'c')]
12.使用zip合并相邻的列表项
复制代码 代码如下:
> a = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
> zip(*([iter(a)] * 2))
[(1, 2), (3, 4), (5, 6)]
> group_adjacent = lambda a, k: zip(*([iter(a)] * k))
> group_adjacent(a, 3)
[(1, 2, 3), (4, 5, 6)]
> group_adjacent(a, 2)
[(1, 2), (3, 4), (5, 6)]
> group_adjacent(a, 1)
[(1,), (2,), (3,), (4,), (5,), (6,)]
> zip(a[::2], a[1::2])
[(1, 2), (3, 4), (5, 6)]
> zip(a[::3], a[1::3], a[2::3])
[(1, 2, 3), (4, 5, 6)]
> group_adjacent = lambda a, k: zip(*(a[i::k] for i in range(k)))
> group_adjacent(a, 3)
[(1, 2, 3), (4, 5, 6)]
> group_adjacent(a, 2)
[(1, 2), (3, 4), (5, 6)]
> group_adjacent(a, 1)
[(1,), (2,), (3,), (4,), (5,), (6,)]
13.使用zip和iterators生成滑动窗口 (n -grams)
复制代码 代码如下:
> from itertools import islice
> def n_grams(a, n):
... z = (islice(a, i, None) for i in range(n))
... return zip(*z)
...
> a = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
> n_grams(a, 3)
[(1, 2, 3), (2, 3, 4), (3, 4, 5), (4, 5, 6)]
> n_grams(a, 2)
[(1, 2), (2, 3), (3, 4), (4, 5), (5, 6)]
> n_grams(a, 4)
[(1, 2, 3, 4), (2, 3, 4, 5), (3, 4, 5, 6)]
14.使用zip反转字典
复制代码 代码如下:
> m = {'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'c': 3, 'd': 4}
> m.items()
[('a', 1), ('c', 3), ('b', 2), ('d', 4)]
> zip(m.values(), m.keys())
[(1, 'a'), (3, 'c'), (2, 'b'), (4, 'd')]
> mi = dict(zip(m.values(), m.keys()))
> mi
{1: 'a', 2: 'b', 3: 'c', 4: 'd'}
15.摊平列表:
复制代码 代码如下:
> a = [[1, 2], [3, 4], [5, 6]]
> list(itertools.chain.from_iterable(a))
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
> sum(a, [])
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
> [x for l in a for x in l]
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
> a = [[[1, 2], [3, 4]], [[5, 6], [7, 8]]]
> [x for l1 in a for l2 in l1 for x in l2]
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]
> a = [1, 2, [3, 4], [[5, 6], [7, 8]]]
> flatten = lambda x: [y for l in x for y in flatten(l)] if type(x) is list else [x]
> flatten(a)
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]
注意: 根据Python的文档，itertools.chain.from_iterable是首选。
16.生成器表达式
复制代码 代码如下:
> g = (x ** 2 for x in xrange(10))
> next(g)
0
> next(g)
1
> next(g)
4
> next(g)
9
> sum(x ** 3 for x in xrange(10))
2025
> sum(x ** 3 for x in xrange(10) if x % 3 == 1)
408
17.迭代字典
复制代码 代码如下:
> m = {x: x ** 2 for x in range(5)}
> m
{0: 0, 1: 1, 2: 4, 3: 9, 4: 16}
> m = {x: 'A' + str(x) for x in range(10)}
> m
{0: 'A0', 1: 'A1', 2: 'A2', 3: 'A3', 4: 'A4', 5: 'A5', 6: 'A6', 7: 'A7', 8: 'A8', 9: 'A9'}
18.通过迭代字典反转字典
复制代码 代码如下:
> m = {'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'c': 3, 'd': 4}
> m
{'d': 4, 'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'c': 3}
> {v: k for k, v in m.items()}
{1: 'a', 2: 'b', 3: 'c', 4: 'd'}
19.命名序列 (collections.namedtuple)
复制代码 代码如下:
> Point = collections.namedtuple('Point', ['x', 'y'])
> p = Point(x=1.0, y=2.0)
> p
Point(x=1.0, y=2.0)
> p.x
1.0
> p.y
2.0
20.命名列表的继承:
复制代码 代码如下:
> class Point(collections.namedtuple('PointBase', ['x', 'y'])):
... __slots__ = ()
... def __add__(self, other):
... return Point(x=self.x + other.x, y=self.y + other.y)
...
> p = Point(x=1.0, y=2.0)
> q = Point(x=2.0, y=3.0)
> p + q
Point(x=3.0, y=5.0)
21.集合及集合操作
复制代码 代码如下:
> A = {1, 2, 3, 3}
> A
set([1, 2, 3])
> B = {3, 4, 5, 6, 7}
> B
set([3, 4, 5, 6, 7])
> A | B
set([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7])
> A & B
set([3])
> A - B
set([1, 2])
> B - A
set([4, 5, 6, 7])
> A ^ B
set([1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7])
> (A ^ B) == ((A - B) | (B - A))
True
22.多重集及其操作 (collections.Counter)
复制代码 代码如下:
> A = collections.Counter([1, 2, 2])
> B = collections.Counter([2, 2, 3])
> A
Counter({2: 2, 1: 1})
> B
Counter({2: 2, 3: 1})
> A | B
Counter({2: 2, 1: 1, 3: 1})
> A & B
Counter({2: 2})
> A + B
Counter({2: 4, 1: 1, 3: 1})
> A - B
Counter({1: 1})
> B - A
Counter({3: 1})
23.迭代中最常见的元素 (collections.Counter)
复制代码 代码如下:
> A = collections.Counter([1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7])
> A
Counter({3: 4, 1: 2, 2: 2, 4: 1, 5: 1, 6: 1, 7: 1})
> A.most_common(1)
[(3, 4)]
> A.most_common(3)
[(3, 4), (1, 2), (2, 2)]
24.双端队列 (collections.deque)
复制代码 代码如下:
> Q = collections.deque()
> Q.append(1)
> Q.appendleft(2)
> Q.extend([3, 4])
> Q.extendleft([5, 6])
> Q
deque([6, 5, 2, 1, 3, 4])
> Q.pop()
4
> Q.popleft()
6
> Q
deque([5, 2, 1, 3])
> Q.rotate(3)
> Q
deque([2, 1, 3, 5])
> Q.rotate(-3)
> Q
deque([5, 2, 1, 3])
25.有最大长度的双端队列 (collections.deque)
复制代码 代码如下:
> last_three = collections.deque(maxlen=3)
> for i in xrange(10):
... last_three.append(i)
... print ', '.join(str(x) for x in last_three)
...
0
0, 1
0, 1, 2
1, 2, 3
2, 3, 4
3, 4, 5
4, 5, 6
5, 6, 7
6, 7, 8
7, 8, 9
26.字典排序 (collections.OrderedDict)
复制代码 代码如下:
> m = dict((str(x), x) for x in range(10))
> print ', '.join(m.keys())
1, 0, 3, 2, 5, 4, 7, 6, 9, 8
> m = collections.OrderedDict((str(x), x) for x in range(10))
> print ', '.join(m.keys())
0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
> m = collections.OrderedDict((str(x), x) for x in range(10, 0, -1))
> print ', '.join(m.keys())
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
27.缺省字典 (collections.defaultdict)
复制代码 代码如下:
> m = dict()
> m['a']
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
KeyError: 'a'
>
> m = collections.defaultdict(int)
> m['a']
0
> m['b']
0
> m = collections.defaultdict(str)
> m['a']
''
> m['b'] += 'a'
> m['b']
'a'
> m = collections.defaultdict(lambda: '[default value]')
> m['a']
'[default value]'
> m['b']
'[default value]'
28. 用缺省字典表示简单的树
复制代码 代码如下:
> import json
> tree = lambda: collections.defaultdict(tree)
> root = tree()
> root['menu']['id'] = 'file'
> root['menu']['value'] = 'File'
> root['menu']['menuitems']['new']['value'] = 'New'
> root['menu']['menuitems']['new']['onclick'] = 'new();'
> root['menu']['menuitems']['open']['value'] = 'Open'
> root['menu']['menuitems']['open']['onclick'] = 'open();'
> root['menu']['menuitems']['close']['value'] = 'Close'
> root['menu']['menuitems']['close']['onclick'] = 'close();'
> print json.dumps(root, sort_keys=True, indent=4, separators=(',', ': '))
{
"menu": {
"id": "file",
"menuitems": {
"close": {
"onclick": "close();",
"value": "Close"
},
"new": {
"onclick": "new();",
"value": "New"
},
"open": {
"onclick": "open();",
"value": "Open"
}
},
"value": "File"
}
}

29.映射对象到唯一的序列数 (collections.defaultdict)
复制代码 代码如下:
> import itertools, collections
> value_to_numeric_map = collections.defaultdict(itertools.count().next)
> value_to_numeric_map['a']
0
> value_to_numeric_map['b']
1
> value_to_numeric_map['c']
2
> value_to_numeric_map['a']
0
> value_to_numeric_map['b']
1
30.最大最小元素 (heapq.nlargest和heapq.nsmallest)
复制代码 代码如下:
> a = [random.randint(0, 100) for __ in xrange(100)]
> heapq.nsmallest(5, a)
[3, 3, 5, 6, 8]
> heapq.nlargest(5, a)
[100, 100, 99, 98, 98]
31.笛卡尔乘积 (itertools.product)
复制代码 代码如下:
> for p in itertools.product([1, 2, 3], [4, 5]):
(1, 4)
(1, 5)
(2, 4)
(2, 5)
(3, 4)
(3, 5)
> for p in itertools.product([0, 1], repeat=4):
... print ''.join(str(x) for x in p)
...
0000
0001
0010
0011

32.组合的组合和置换 (itertools.combinations 和 itertools.combinations_with_replacement)
复制代码 代码如下:
> for c in itertools.combinations([1, 2, 3, 4, 5], 3):
... print ''.join(str(x) for x in c)
...
123
124
125

34.链接的迭代 (itertools.chain)
复制代码 代码如下:
> a = [1, 2, 3, 4]
> for p in itertools.chain(itertools.combinations(a, 2), itertools.combinations(a, 3)):
... print p
...
(1, 2)

35.按给定值分组行 (itertools.groupby)
复制代码 代码如下:
> from operator import itemgetter
> import itertools
> with open('contactlenses.csv', 'r') as infile:
... data = [line.strip().split(',') for line in infile]
...
> data = data[1:]
