在python中将列表列表加入单个列表(或迭代器)的简短语法是什么?

例如,我有一个如下列表,我想迭代a,b和c。

x = [["a","b"], ["c"]]

我能想出的最好成绩如下。

result = []
[ result.extend(el) for el in x] 

for el in result:
  print el

答案 0 :(得分:397)

import itertools
a = [["a","b"], ["c"]]
print list(itertools.chain.from_iterable(a))

答案 1 :(得分:157)

如果你只是深入一级,嵌套的理解也会起作用:

>>> x = [["a","b"], ["c"]]
>>> [inner
...     for outer in x
...         for inner in outer]
['a', 'b', 'c']

在一行中,它变为:

>>> [j for i in x for j in i]
['a', 'b', 'c']

答案 2 :(得分:130)

x = [["a","b"], ["c"]]

result = sum(x, [])

答案 3 :(得分:28)

这被称为展平,并且有很多实现:

这个怎么样,虽然它只适用于1级深度嵌套:

>>> x = [["a","b"], ["c"]]
>>> for el in sum(x, []):
...     print el
...
a
b
c

从这些链接中,显然最完整,快速优雅等实现如下:

def flatten(l, ltypes=(list, tuple)):
    ltype = type(l)
    l = list(l)
    i = 0
    while i < len(l):
        while isinstance(l[i], ltypes):
            if not l[i]:
                l.pop(i)
                i -= 1
                break
            else:
                l[i:i + 1] = l[i]
        i += 1
    return ltype(l)

答案 5 :(得分:15)

这对于无限嵌套元素递归工作:

def iterFlatten(root):
    if isinstance(root, (list, tuple)):
        for element in root:
            for e in iterFlatten(element):
                yield e
    else:
        yield root

结果:

>>> b = [["a", ("b", "c")], "d"]
>>> list(iterFlatten(b))
['a', 'b', 'c', 'd']

绩效比较:

import itertools
import timeit
big_list = [[0]*1000 for i in range(1000)]
timeit.repeat(lambda: list(itertools.chain.from_iterable(big_list)), number=100)
timeit.repeat(lambda: list(itertools.chain(*big_list)), number=100)
timeit.repeat(lambda: (lambda b: map(b.extend, big_list))([]), number=100)
timeit.repeat(lambda: [el for list_ in big_list for el in list_], number=100)
[100*x for x in timeit.repeat(lambda: sum(big_list, []), number=1)]

产:

>>> import itertools
>>> import timeit
>>> big_list = [[0]*1000 for i in range(1000)]
>>> timeit.repeat(lambda: list(itertools.chain.from_iterable(big_list)), number=100)
[3.016212113769325, 3.0148865239060227, 3.0126415732791028]
>>> timeit.repeat(lambda: list(itertools.chain(*big_list)), number=100)
[3.019953987082083, 3.528754223385439, 3.02181439266457]
>>> timeit.repeat(lambda: (lambda b: map(b.extend, big_list))([]), number=100)
[1.812084445152557, 1.7702404451095965, 1.7722977998725362]
>>> timeit.repeat(lambda: [el for list_ in big_list for el in list_], number=100)
[5.409658160700605, 5.477502077679354, 5.444318360412744]
>>> [100*x for x in timeit.repeat(lambda: sum(big_list, []), number=1)]
[399.27587954973444, 400.9240571138051, 403.7521153804846]

这是在Windows XP 32位上的Python 2.7.1,但上面评论中的@temoto使from_iterablemap+extend更快,因此它非常依赖于平台和输入。

远离sum(big_list, [])

晚会但是......

我是python的新手,来自lisp背景。这就是我提出的(查看lulz的var名称):

def flatten(lst):
    if lst:
        car,*cdr=lst
        if isinstance(car,(list,tuple)):
            if cdr: return flatten(car) + flatten(cdr)
            return flatten(car)
        if cdr: return [car] + flatten(cdr)
        return [car]

似乎工作。测试:

flatten((1,2,3,(4,5,6,(7,8,(((1,2)))))))

返回:

[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 1, 2]

您所描述的内容被称为展平列表,凭借这些新知识,您将能够在Google上找到许多解决方案(没有内置的展平方法) 。以下是其中一个,来自http://www.daniel-lemire.com/blog/archives/2006/05/10/flattening-lists-in-python/

def flatten(x):
    flat = True
    ans = []
    for i in x:
        if ( i.__class__ is list):
            ans = flatten(i)
        else:
            ans.append(i)
    return ans

如果您需要列表而不是生成器,请使用list():

from itertools import chain
x = [["a","b"], ["c"]]
y = list(chain(*x))

答案 10 :(得分:3)

总是减少(被弃用到functools):

>>> x = [ [ 'a', 'b'], ['c'] ]
>>> for el in reduce(lambda a,b: a+b, x, []):
...  print el
...
__main__:1: DeprecationWarning: reduce() not supported in 3.x; use functools.reduce()
a
b
c
>>> import functools
>>> for el in functools.reduce(lambda a,b: a+b, x, []):
...   print el
...
a
b
c
>>>

不幸的是,列表连接的加号运算符不能用作函数 - 或者幸运,如果你更喜欢使用lambdas来提高可见性。

或递归操作:

def flatten(input):
    ret = []
    if not isinstance(input, (list, tuple)):
        return [input]
    for i in input:
        if isinstance(i, (list, tuple)):
            ret.extend(flatten(i))
        else:
            ret.append(i)
    return ret

可悲的是,Python没有简单的方法来压缩列表。试试这个:

def flatten(some_list):
    for element in some_list:
        if type(element) in (tuple, list):
            for item in flatten(element):
                yield item
        else:
            yield element

将以递归方式展平列表;然后你可以做

result = []
[ result.extend(el) for el in x] 

for el in flatten(result):
      print el

对于单级展平,如果你关心速度,这比我尝试的所有条件下的任何先前的答案都要快。 (也就是说,如果您需要将结果作为列表。如果您只需要动态迭代它,那么链示例可能更好。)它的工作原理是预先分配最终大小的列表并复制部分by slice(这是一个比任何迭代器方法更低级的块副本):

def join(a):
    """Joins a sequence of sequences into a single sequence.  (One-level flattening.)
    E.g., join([(1,2,3), [4, 5], [6, (7, 8, 9), 10]]) = [1,2,3,4,5,6,(7,8,9),10]
    This is very efficient, especially when the subsequences are long.
    """
    n = sum([len(b) for b in a])
    l = [None]*n
    i = 0
    for b in a:
        j = i+len(b)
        l[i:j] = b
        i = j
    return l

带有评论的排序时间列表:

[(0.5391559600830078, 'flatten4b'), # join() above. 
(0.5400412082672119, 'flatten4c'), # Same, with sum(len(b) for b in a) 
(0.5419249534606934, 'flatten4a'), # Similar, using zip() 
(0.7351131439208984, 'flatten1b'), # list(itertools.chain.from_iterable(a)) 
(0.7472689151763916, 'flatten1'), # list(itertools.chain(*a)) 
(1.5468521118164062, 'flatten3'), # [i for j in a for i in j] 
(26.696547985076904, 'flatten2')] # sum(a, [])

当我必须创建一个包含数组元素及其计数的字典时,我遇到了类似的问题。答案是相关的,因为我将列表列表展平,获得我需要的元素,然后进行分组计数。我使用Python的map函数生成一个元素元组,它在数组上计数和分组。请注意,groupby将数组元素本身作为keyfunc。作为一个相对较新的Python编码器,我发现它更易于理解,同时也是Pythonic。

在我讨论代码之前,这里是我必须首先展平的数据样本:

{ "_id" : ObjectId("4fe3a90783157d765d000011"), "status" : [ "opencalais" ],
  "content_length" : 688, "open_calais_extract" : { "entities" : [
  {"type" :"Person","name" : "Iman Samdura","rel_score" : 0.223 }, 
  {"type" : "Company",  "name" : "Associated Press",    "rel_score" : 0.321 },          
  {"type" : "Country",  "name" : "Indonesia",   "rel_score" : 0.321 }, ... ]},
  "title" : "Indonesia Police Arrest Bali Bomb Planner", "time" : "06:42  ET",         
  "filename" : "021121bn.01", "month" : "November", "utctime" : 1037836800,
  "date" : "November 21, 2002", "news_type" : "bn", "day" : "21" }

这是来自Mongo的查询结果。下面的代码展示了这些列表的集合。

def flatten_list(items):
  return sorted([entity['name'] for entity in [entities for sublist in  
   [item['open_calais_extract']['entities'] for item in items] 
   for entities in sublist])

首先,我将提取所有“实体”集合,然后为每个实体集合迭代字典并提取name属性。
