首先,您可以阅读文档here。
我将把我认为最重要的一点放在首位。我希望通过示例后原因会变得清晰。
始终使用用于分组的相同键对项目进行排序以避免意外结果
itertools.groupby(iterable, key=None or some func)
获取可迭代的列表并根据指定的键对它们进行分组。键指定对每个单独的迭代应用什么操作,然后将其结果用作每个项目分组的标题;最终具有相同“键”值的项目将最终在同一组中。
返回值是一个类似于字典的可迭代对象,其格式为{key : value}。
示例 1
# note here that the tuple counts as one item in this list. I did not
# specify any key, so each item in the list is a key on its own.
c = groupby(['goat', 'dog', 'cow', 1, 1, 2, 3, 11, 10, ('persons', 'man', 'woman')])
dic = {}
for k, v in c:
dic[k] = list(v)
dic
结果
{1: [1, 1],
'goat': ['goat'],
3: [3],
'cow': ['cow'],
('persons', 'man', 'woman'): [('persons', 'man', 'woman')],
10: [10],
11: [11],
2: [2],
'dog': ['dog']}
示例 2
# notice here that mulato and camel don't show up. only the last element with a certain key shows up, like replacing earlier result
# the last result for c actually wipes out two previous results.
list_things = ['goat', 'dog', 'donkey', 'mulato', 'cow', 'cat', ('persons', 'man', 'woman'), \
'wombat', 'mongoose', 'malloo', 'camel']
c = groupby(list_things, key=lambda x: x[0])
dic = {}
for k, v in c:
dic[k] = list(v)
dic
结果
{'c': ['camel'],
'd': ['dog', 'donkey'],
'g': ['goat'],
'm': ['mongoose', 'malloo'],
'persons': [('persons', 'man', 'woman')],
'w': ['wombat']}
现在是排序版本
# but observe the sorted version where I have the data sorted first on same key I used for grouping
list_things = ['goat', 'dog', 'donkey', 'mulato', 'cow', 'cat', ('persons', 'man', 'woman'), \
'wombat', 'mongoose', 'malloo', 'camel']
sorted_list = sorted(list_things, key = lambda x: x[0])
print(sorted_list)
print()
c = groupby(sorted_list, key=lambda x: x[0])
dic = {}
for k, v in c:
dic[k] = list(v)
dic
结果
['cow', 'cat', 'camel', 'dog', 'donkey', 'goat', 'mulato', 'mongoose', 'malloo', ('persons', 'man', 'woman'), 'wombat']
{'c': ['cow', 'cat', 'camel'],
'd': ['dog', 'donkey'],
'g': ['goat'],
'm': ['mulato', 'mongoose', 'malloo'],
'persons': [('persons', 'man', 'woman')],
'w': ['wombat']}
示例 3
things = [("animal", "bear"), ("animal", "duck"), ("plant", "cactus"), ("vehicle", "harley"), \
("vehicle", "speed boat"), ("vehicle", "school bus")]
dic = {}
f = lambda x: x[0]
for key, group in groupby(sorted(things, key=f), f):
dic[key] = list(group)
dic
结果
{'animal': [('animal', 'bear'), ('animal', 'duck')],
'plant': [('plant', 'cactus')],
'vehicle': [('vehicle', 'harley'),
('vehicle', 'speed boat'),
('vehicle', 'school bus')]}
现在是排序版本。我在这里将元组更改为列表。无论哪种方式,结果都相同。
things = [["animal", "bear"], ["animal", "duck"], ["vehicle", "harley"], ["plant", "cactus"], \
["vehicle", "speed boat"], ["vehicle", "school bus"]]
dic = {}
f = lambda x: x[0]
for key, group in groupby(sorted(things, key=f), f):
dic[key] = list(group)
dic
结果
{'animal': [['animal', 'bear'], ['animal', 'duck']],
'plant': [['plant', 'cactus']],
'vehicle': [['vehicle', 'harley'],
['vehicle', 'speed boat'],
['vehicle', 'school bus']]}
