为什么没有这样的解决方案呢?

s = "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog"
for r in (("brown", "red"), ("lazy", "quick")):
    s = s.replace(*r)

#output will be:  The quick red fox jumps over the quick dog

下面是一个支持基本正则表达式替换的版本。主要的限制是表达式不能包含子组，并且可能存在一些边缘情况:

基于@bgusach和其他的代码

import re

class StringReplacer:

    def __init__(self, replacements, ignore_case=False):
        patterns = sorted(replacements, key=len, reverse=True)
        self.replacements = [replacements[k] for k in patterns]
        re_mode = re.IGNORECASE if ignore_case else 0
        self.pattern = re.compile('|'.join(("({})".format(p) for p in patterns)), re_mode)
        def tr(matcher):
            index = next((index for index,value in enumerate(matcher.groups()) if value), None)
            return self.replacements[index]
        self.tr = tr

    def __call__(self, string):
        return self.pattern.sub(self.tr, string)

测试

table = {
    "aaa"    : "[This is three a]",
    "b+"     : "[This is one or more b]",
    r"<\w+>" : "[This is a tag]"
}

replacer = StringReplacer(table, True)

sample1 = "whatever bb, aaa, <star> BBB <end>"

print(replacer(sample1))

# output: 
# whatever [This is one or more b], [This is three a], [This is a tag] [This is one or more b] [This is a tag]

诀窍是通过位置来识别匹配的组。它不是超级高效(O(n))，但它是有效的。

index = next((index for index,value in enumerate(matcher.groups()) if value), None)

替换是一次完成的。

从安德鲁的宝贵答案开始，我开发了一个脚本，从一个文件加载字典，并详细说明所有文件上打开的文件夹做替换。脚本从一个外部文件加载映射，您可以在该文件中设置分隔符。我是一个初学者，但我发现这个脚本在多个文件中做多个替换时非常有用。它在几秒钟内加载了一个包含1000多个条目的字典。这并不优雅，但对我来说很管用

import glob
import re

mapfile = input("Enter map file name with extension eg. codifica.txt: ")
sep = input("Enter map file column separator eg. |: ")
mask = input("Enter search mask with extension eg. 2010*txt for all files to be processed: ")
suff = input("Enter suffix with extension eg. _NEW.txt for newly generated files: ")

rep = {} # creation of empy dictionary

with open(mapfile) as temprep: # loading of definitions in the dictionary using input file, separator is prompted
    for line in temprep:
        (key, val) = line.strip('\n').split(sep)
        rep[key] = val

for filename in glob.iglob(mask): # recursion on all the files with the mask prompted

    with open (filename, "r") as textfile: # load each file in the variable text
        text = textfile.read()

        # start replacement
        #rep = dict((re.escape(k), v) for k, v in rep.items()) commented to enable the use in the mapping of re reserved characters
        pattern = re.compile("|".join(rep.keys()))
        text = pattern.sub(lambda m: rep[m.group(0)], text)

        #write of te output files with the prompted suffice
        target = open(filename[:-4]+"_NEW.txt", "w")
        target.write(text)
        target.close()

在我的情况下，我需要一个简单的唯一键替换名称，所以我想到了这个:

a = 'This is a test string.'
b = {'i': 'I', 's': 'S'}
for x,y in b.items():
    a = a.replace(x, y)
>>> a
'ThIS IS a teSt StrIng.'

我也在这个问题上苦苦挣扎。由于有很多替换，正则表达式比较吃力，大约比循环字符串慢四倍。替换(在我的实验条件)。

你绝对应该尝试使用Flashtext库(博客文章在这里，Github在这里)。在我的例子中，每个文档的速度快了两个数量级，从1.8秒到0.015秒(正则表达式需要7.7秒)。

在上面的链接中很容易找到使用示例，但这是一个工作示例:

    from flashtext import KeywordProcessor
    self.processor = KeywordProcessor(case_sensitive=False)
    for k, v in self.my_dict.items():
        self.processor.add_keyword(k, v)
    new_string = self.processor.replace_keywords(string)

注意，Flashtext在一次传递中进行替换(以避免a -> b和b -> c将'a'转换为'c')。Flashtext也会查找整个单词(所以'is'不会匹配'this')。如果你的目标是几个单词(将“This is”替换为“Hello”)，这种方法也很有效。

这是我的0.02美元。它基于Andrew Clark的答案，只是更清楚一点，它还涵盖了当一个字符串被替换为另一个字符串的子字符串时的情况(更长的字符串胜出)

def multireplace(string, replacements):
    """
    Given a string and a replacement map, it returns the replaced string.

    :param str string: string to execute replacements on
    :param dict replacements: replacement dictionary {value to find: value to replace}
    :rtype: str

    """
    # Place longer ones first to keep shorter substrings from matching
    # where the longer ones should take place
    # For instance given the replacements {'ab': 'AB', 'abc': 'ABC'} against 
    # the string 'hey abc', it should produce 'hey ABC' and not 'hey ABc'
    substrs = sorted(replacements, key=len, reverse=True)

    # Create a big OR regex that matches any of the substrings to replace
    regexp = re.compile('|'.join(map(re.escape, substrs)))

    # For each match, look up the new string in the replacements
    return regexp.sub(lambda match: replacements[match.group(0)], string)

这就是这个要点，如果你有任何建议，请随意修改。
