你可以使用

import heapq
listForTree = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15]    
heapq.heapify(listForTree)             # for a min heap
heapq._heapify_max(listForTree)        # for a maxheap!!

如果你想要弹出元素，使用:

heapq.heappop(minheap)      # pop from minheap
heapq._heappop_max(maxheap) # pop from maxheap

为了详细说明https://stackoverflow.com/a/59311063/1328979，这里有一个针对一般情况的完整文档、注释和测试的Python 3实现。

如果你想用max heap得到最大的K元素，你可以做下面的技巧:

nums= [3,2,1,5,6,4]
k = 2  #k being the kth largest element you want to get
heapq.heapify(nums) 
temp = heapq.nlargest(k, nums)
return temp[-1]

这是一个基于heapq的简单MaxHeap实现。虽然它只适用于数值。

import heapq
from typing import List


class MaxHeap:
    def __init__(self):
        self.data = []

    def top(self):
        return -self.data[0]

    def push(self, val):
        heapq.heappush(self.data, -val)

    def pop(self):
        return -heapq.heappop(self.data)

用法:

max_heap = MaxHeap()
max_heap.push(3)
max_heap.push(5)
max_heap.push(1)
print(max_heap.top())  # 5

扩展int类并重写__lt__是一种方法。

import queue
class MyInt(int):
    def __lt__(self, other):
        return self > other

def main():
    q = queue.PriorityQueue()
    q.put(MyInt(10))
    q.put(MyInt(5))
    q.put(MyInt(1))
    while not q.empty():
        print (q.get())


if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

heapq模块拥有实现maxheap所需的一切。 它只做max-heap的堆推功能。 我已在下面示范如何克服这一点

在heapq模块中添加这个函数:

def _heappush_max(heap, item):
    """Push item onto heap, maintaining the heap invariant."""
    heap.append(item)
    _siftdown_max(heap, 0, len(heap)-1)

最后加上这句话:

try:
    from _heapq import _heappush_max
except ImportError:
    pass

瞧!这是完成了。

PS -转到heapq函数。首先在编辑器中写入“import heapq”，然后右键单击“heapq”并选择转到定义。
