我有以下Python数据结构：
data1 = [{'name': u'String 1'}, {'name': u'String 2'}]
data2 = [{'name': u'String 1'}, {'name': u'String 2'}, {'name': u'String 3'}]
我正在寻找获得两个列表之间增量的最佳方法。 Python中有什么和JavaScript Underscore.js（_.difference）库一样方便吗？
答案 0 :(得分：26)
这个怎么样：
>>> [x for x in data2 if x not in data1]
[{'name': u'String 3'}]
修改：
如果您需要对称差异，可以使用：
>>> [x for x in data1 + data2 if x not in data1 or x not in data2]
或
>>> [x for x in data1 if x not in data2] + [y for y in data2 if y not in data1]
再修改一次
您也可以使用套装：
>>> from functools import reduce
>>> s1 = set(reduce(lambda x, y: x + y, [x.items() for x in data1]))
>>> s2 = set(reduce(lambda x, y: x + y, [x.items() for x in data2]))
>>> s2.difference(s1)
>>> s2.symmetric_difference(s1)
答案 1 :(得分：22)
import itertools
r = list(itertools.filterfalse(lambda x: x in data1, data2))
+ list(itertools.filterfalse(lambda x: x in data2, data1))
assert r == [{'name': 'String 3'}]

如果你想以递归方式获得差异，我已经为python编写了一个包： https://github.com/seperman/deepdiff
从PyPi安装：
pip install deepdiff
导入
>>> from deepdiff import DeepDiff
>>> from pprint import pprint
>>> from __future__ import print_function # In case running on Python 2
相同的对象返回空
>>> t1 = {1:1, 2:2, 3:3}
>>> t2 = t1
>>> print(DeepDiff(t1, t2))
{}
项目类型已更改
>>> t1 = {1:1, 2:2, 3:3}
>>> t2 = {1:1, 2:"2", 3:3}
>>> pprint(DeepDiff(t1, t2), indent=2)
{ 'type_changes': { 'root[2]': { 'newtype': <class 'str'>,
'newvalue': '2',
'oldtype': <class 'int'>,
'oldvalue': 2}}}
项目的价值已更改
>>> t1 = {1:1, 2:2, 3:3}
>>> t2 = {1:1, 2:4, 3:3}
>>> pprint(DeepDiff(t1, t2), indent=2)
{'values_changed': {'root[2]': {'newvalue': 4, 'oldvalue': 2}}}
添加和/或删除了项目
>>> t1 = {1:1, 2:2, 3:3, 4:4}
>>> t2 = {1:1, 2:4, 3:3, 5:5, 6:6}
>>> ddiff = DeepDiff(t1, t2)
>>> pprint (ddiff)
{'dic_item_added': ['root[5]', 'root[6]'],
'dic_item_removed': ['root[4]'],
'values_changed': {'root[2]': {'newvalue': 4, 'oldvalue': 2}}}

>>> t1 = {1:1, 2:2, 3:3, 4:{"a":"hello", "b":"world"}}
>>> t2 = {1:1, 2:4, 3:3, 4:{"a":"hello", "b":"world!"}}
>>> ddiff = DeepDiff(t1, t2)
>>> pprint (ddiff, indent = 2)

"root[4]['b']": { 'newvalue': 'world!',
'oldvalue': 'world'}}}

>>> pprint (ddiff, indent = 2)

'values_changed': { "root[4]['b'][1]": {'newvalue': 3, 'oldvalue': 2},
"root[4]['b'][2]": {'newvalue': 2, 'oldvalue': 3}}}
列出忽略顺序或重复的差异:(使用与上面相同的词典）
>>> t1 = {1:1, 2:2, 3:3, 4:{"a":"hello", "b":[1, 2, 3]}}
>>> t2 = {1:1, 2:2, 3:3, 4:{"a":"hello", "b":[1, 3, 2, 3]}}
>>> ddiff = DeepDiff(t1, t2, ignore_order=True)
>>> print (ddiff)

包含字典的列表：
>>> t1 = {1:1, 2:2, 3:3, 4:{"a":"hello", "b":[1, 2, {1:1, 2:2}]}}
>>> t2 = {1:1, 2:2, 3:3, 4:{"a":"hello", "b":[1, 2, {1:3}]}}
>>> ddiff = DeepDiff(t1, t2)
>>> pprint (ddiff, indent = 2)
{ 'dic_item_removed': ["root[4]['b'][2][2]"],
'values_changed': {"root[4]['b'][2][1]": {'newvalue': 3, 'oldvalue': 1}}}
设定：
>>> t1 = {1, 2, 8}
>>> t2 = {1, 2, 3, 5}
>>> ddiff = DeepDiff(t1, t2)
>>> pprint (DeepDiff(t1, t2))
{'set_item_added': ['root[3]', 'root[5]'], 'set_item_removed': ['root[8]']}
命名元组：
>>> from collections import namedtuple
>>> Point = namedtuple('Point', ['x', 'y'])
>>> t1 = Point(x=11, y=22)
>>> t2 = Point(x=11, y=23)
>>> pprint (DeepDiff(t1, t2))
{'values_changed': {'root.y': {'newvalue': 23, 'oldvalue': 22}}}
自定义对象：
>>> class ClassA(object):
... a = 1
... def __init__(self, b):
... self.b = b
...
>>> t1 = ClassA(1)
>>> t2 = ClassA(2)
>>>
>>> pprint(DeepDiff(t1, t2))
{'values_changed': {'root.b': {'newvalue': 2, 'oldvalue': 1}}}
添加了对象属性：
>>> t2.c = "new attribute"
>>> pprint(DeepDiff(t1, t2))
{'attribute_added': ['root.c'],
'values_changed': {'root.b': {'newvalue': 2, 'oldvalue': 1}}}
