下列模块函数均创建并返回迭代器。有些迭代器不限制输出流长度,所以它们只应在能截断输出流的函数或循环中使用。
大致相当于:
def accumulate(iterable, func=operator.add, *, initial=None):
'Return running totals'
# accumulate([1,2,3,4,5]) --> 1 3 6 10 15
# accumulate([1,2,3,4,5], initial=100) --> 100 101 103 106 110 115

total = initial
if initial is None:
try:
total = next(it)
except StopIteration:

for element in it:

yield total
func 参数有几种用法。它可以被设为 min() 最终得到一个最小值,或者设为 max() 最终得到一个最大值,或设为 operator.mul() 最终得到一个乘积。给iterable设置初始值并只将参数 func 设为累加总数可以对一阶 递归关系 建模。
>>> data = [3, 4, 6, 2, 1, 9, 0, 7, 5, 8]
>>> list(accumulate(data, operator.mul)) # running product
[3, 12, 72, 144, 144, 1296, 0, 0, 0, 0]
>>> list(accumulate(data, max)) # running maximum
[3, 4, 6, 6, 6, 9, 9, 9, 9, 9]
# Amortize a 5% loan of 1000 with 4 annual payments of 90

[1000, 960.0, 918.0, 873.9000000000001, 827.5950000000001]
# Chaotic recurrence relation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logistic_map
>>> logistic_map = lambda x, _: r * x * (1 - x)
>>> r = 3.8
>>> x0 = 0.4
>>> inputs = repeat(x0, 36) # only the initial value is used
>>> [format(x, '.2f') for x in accumulate(inputs, logistic_map)]

'0.83', '0.54', '0.95', '0.20', '0.60', '0.91', '0.30', '0.80', '0.60']
对比一个类似函数 functools.reduce() ,它只返回一个最终累积值。

for j in range(i+1, r):

yield tuple(pool[i] for i in indices)
combinations() 的代码可被改写为 permutations() 过滤后的子序列,(相对于元素在输入中的位置)元素不是有序的。

注意,该函数可能需要相当大的辅助空间(取决于 iterable 的长度)。

uniquekeys = []
data = sorted(data, key=keyfunc)
for k, g in groupby(data, keyfunc):
groups.append(list(g)) # Store group iterator as a list
uniquekeys.append(k)
groupby() 大致相当于:
class groupby:
# [k for k, g in groupby('AAAABBBCCDAABBB')] --> A B C D A B
# [list(g) for k, g in groupby('AAAABBBCCDAABBB')] --> AAAA BBB CC D AA BBB

def __iter__(self):

为迭代器实现了类似list的切片方法。
创建一个迭代器,返回从 iterable 里选中的元素。如果 start 不是0,跳过 iterable 中的元素,直到到达 start 这个位置。之后迭代器连续返回元素,除非 step 设置的值很高导致被跳过。如果 stop 为 None,迭代器耗光为止;否则,在指定的位置停止。与普通的切片不同,islice() 不支持将 start , stop ,或 step 设为负值。可用来从内部数据结构被压平的数据中提取相关字段(例如一个多行报告,它的名称字段出现在每三行上)。大致相当于:
def islice(iterable, *args):
# islice('ABCDEFG', 2) --> A B
# islice('ABCDEFG', 2, 4) --> C D
# islice('ABCDEFG', 2, None) --> C D E F G
# islice('ABCDEFG', 0, None, 2) --> A C E G
s = slice(*args)
start, stop, step = s.start or 0, s.stop or sys.maxsize, s.step or 1
it = iter(range(start, stop, step))
try:
nexti = next(it)
except StopIteration:
# Consume *iterable* up to the *start* position.
for i, element in zip(range(start), iterable):
pass
return
try:
for i, element in enumerate(iterable):
if i == nexti:
yield element
nexti = next(it)
except StopIteration:
# Consume to *stop*.
for i, element in zip(range(i + 1, stop), iterable):
pass
如果 start 为 None,迭代从0开始。如果 step 为 None ,步长缺省为1。
def permutations(iterable, r=None):
# permutations('ABCD', 2) --> AB AC AD BA BC BD CA CB CD DA DB DC
# permutations(range(3)) --> 012 021 102 120 201 210
pool = tuple(iterable)
n = len(pool)
r = n if r is None else r
if r > n:
return
indices = list(range(n))
cycles = list(range(n, n-r, -1))
yield tuple(pool[i] for i in indices[:r])
while n:
for i in reversed(range(r)):
cycles[i] -= 1
if cycles[i] == 0:
indices[i:] = indices[i+1:] + indices[i:i+1]
cycles[i] = n - i
else:
j = cycles[i]
indices[i], indices[-j] = indices[-j], indices[i]
yield tuple(pool[i] for i in indices[:r])
break
else:
return
permutations() 的代码也可被改写为 product() 的子序列,只要将含有重复元素(来自输入中同一位置的)的项排除。
def permutations(iterable, r=None):
pool = tuple(iterable)
n = len(pool)
r = n if r is None else r
for indices in product(range(n), repeat=r):
if len(set(indices)) == r:
yield tuple(pool[i] for i in indices)
当 0 <= r <= n ,返回项个数为 n! / (n-r)! ;当 r > n ,返回项个数为0。
该函数大致相当于下面的代码,只不过实际实现方案不会在内存中创建中间结果。
def product(*args, repeat=1):
# product('ABCD', 'xy') --> Ax Ay Bx By Cx Cy Dx Dy
# product(range(2), repeat=3) --> 000 001 010 011 100 101 110 111
pools = [tuple(pool) for pool in args] * repeat
result = [[]]
for pool in pools:
result = [x+[y] for x in result for y in pool]
for prod in result:
yield tuple(prod)
大致相当于:
def repeat(object, times=None):
# repeat(10, 3) --> 10 10 10
if times is None:
while True:
yield object
else:
for i in range(times):
yield object
repeat 最常见的用途就是在 map 或 zip 提供一个常量流:
>>> list(map(pow, range(10), repeat(2)))
[0, 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81]
def starmap(function, iterable):
# starmap(pow, [(2,5), (3,2), (10,3)]) --> 32 9 1000
for args in iterable:
yield function(*args)
def takewhile(predicate, iterable):
# takewhile(lambda x: x<5, [1,4,6,4,1]) --> 1 4
for x in iterable:
if predicate(x):
yield x
else:
break
def tee(iterable, n=2):
it = iter(iterable)
deques = [collections.deque() for i in range(n)]
def gen(mydeque):
while True:
if not mydeque: # when the local deque is empty
try:
newval = next(it) # fetch a new value and
except StopIteration:
return
for d in deques: # load it to all the deques
d.append(newval)
yield mydeque.popleft()
return tuple(gen(d) for d in deques)
一旦 tee() 实施了一次分裂,原有的 iterable 不应再被使用;否则tee对象无法得知 iterable 可能已向后迭代。
tee 迭代器不是线程安全的。当同时使用由同一个 tee() 调用所返回的迭代器时可能引发 RuntimeError,即使原本的 iterable 是线程安全的。
该迭代工具可能需要相当大的辅助存储空间(这取决于要保存多少临时数据)。通常,如果一个迭代器在另一个迭代器开始之前就要使用大部份或全部数据,使用 list() 会比 tee() 更快。
def zip_longest(*args, fillvalue=None):
# zip_longest('ABCD', 'xy', fillvalue='-') --> Ax By C- D-
iterators = [iter(it) for it in args]
num_active = len(iterators)
if not num_active:
return
while True:
values = []
for i, it in enumerate(iterators):
try:
value = next(it)
except StopIteration:
num_active -= 1
if not num_active:
return
iterators[i] = repeat(fillvalue)
value = fillvalue
values.append(value)
yield tuple(values)
如果其中一个可迭代对象有无限长度,zip_longest() 函数应封装在限制调用次数的场景中(例如 islice() 或 takewhile())。除非指定, fillvalue 默认为 None 。
本节将展示如何使用现有的 itertools 作为基础构件来创建扩展的工具集。
基本上所有这些扩展都可以通过安装 Python Package Index 上的 more-itertools 项目来使用:
pip install more-itertools
扩展的工具提供了与底层工具集相同的高性能。保持了超棒的内存利用率,因为一次只处理一个元素,而不是将整个可迭代对象加载到内存。代码量保持得很小,以函数式风格将这些工具连接在一起,有助于消除临时变量。速度依然很快,因为倾向于使用“矢量化”构件来取代解释器开销大的 for 循环和 generator 。
