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]

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

允许您选择任意数量的最大或最小的项目

import heapq
heap = [23, 7, -4, 18, 23, 42, 37, 2, 8, 2, 23, 7, -4, 18, 23, 42, 37, 2]
heapq.heapify(heap)
print(heapq.nlargest(3, heap))  # [42, 42, 37]
print(heapq.nsmallest(3, heap)) # [-4, -4, 2]

最好的方法:

from heapq import *
h = [5, 7, 9, 1, 3]
h_neg = [-i for i in h]
heapify(h_neg)            # heapify
heappush(h_neg, -2)       # push
print(-heappop(h_neg))    # pop
# 9

我创建了一个名为heap_class的包，它实现了最大堆，还将各种堆函数包装到一个与列表兼容的环境中。

>>> from heap_class import Heap
>>> h = Heap([3, 1, 9, 20], max=True)
>>> h.pop()
20
>>> h.peek()  # same as h[0]
9
>>> h.push(17)  # or h.append(17)
>>> h[0]  # same as h.peek()
17
>>> h[1]  # inefficient, but works
9

从最大堆中获得最小堆。

>>> y = reversed(h)
>>> y.peek()
1
>>> y  # repr is inefficient, but correct
Heap([1, 3, 9, 17], max=False)
>>> 9 in y
True
>>> y.raw()  # underlying heap structure
[1, 3, 17, 9]

正如其他人所提到的，在max堆中处理字符串和复杂对象在heapq中是相当困难的，因为它们不同 否定的形式。heap_class实现简单:

>>> h = Heap(('aa', 4), ('aa', 5), ('zz', 2), ('zz', 1), max=True)
>>> h.pop()
('zz', 2)

支持自定义键，并与后续的推/追加和弹出一起工作:

>>> vals = [('Adam', 'Smith'), ('Zeta', 'Jones')]
>>> h = Heap(vals, key=lambda name: name[1])
>>> h.peek()  # Jones comes before Smith
('Zeta', 'Jones')
>>> h.push(('Aaron', 'Allen'))
>>> h.peek()
('Aaron', 'Allen')

(实现是建立在heapq函数上的，所以它都是用C语言或C语言包装的，除了Python中max heap上的heappush和heapreplace)

arr = [3,4,5,1,2,3,0,7,8,90,67,31,2,5,567]
# max-heap sort will lead the array to assending order
def maxheap(arr,p):
    
    for i in range(len(arr)-p):
        if i > 0:
            child = i
            parent = (i+1)//2 - 1
            
            while arr[child]> arr[parent] and child !=0:
                arr[child], arr[parent] = arr[parent], arr[child]
                child = parent
                parent = (parent+1)//2 -1
                
    
def heapsort(arr):
    for i in range(len(arr)):
        maxheap(arr,i)
        arr[0], arr[len(arr)-i-1]=arr[len(arr)-i-1],arr[0]
        
    return arr
        

print(heapsort(arr))

试试这个
