我需要一个解决方案，其中字符串可以被替换为正则表达式， 例如，通过将多个空格字符替换为一个空格字符来帮助规范化长文本。根据其他人(包括MiniQuark和mmj)的一系列答案，我得出了以下结论:

def multiple_replace(string, reps, re_flags = 0):
    """ Transforms string, replacing keys from re_str_dict with values.
    reps: dictionary, or list of key-value pairs (to enforce ordering;
          earlier items have higher priority).
          Keys are used as regular expressions.
    re_flags: interpretation of regular expressions, such as re.DOTALL
    """
    if isinstance(reps, dict):
        reps = reps.items()
    pattern = re.compile("|".join("(?P<_%d>%s)" % (i, re_str[0])
                                  for i, re_str in enumerate(reps)),
                         re_flags)
    return pattern.sub(lambda x: reps[int(x.lastgroup[1:])][1], string)

它适用于其他答案中给出的例子，例如:

>>> multiple_replace("(condition1) and --condition2--",
...                  {"condition1": "", "condition2": "text"})
'() and --text--'

>>> multiple_replace('hello, world', {'hello' : 'goodbye', 'world' : 'earth'})
'goodbye, earth'

>>> multiple_replace("Do you like cafe? No, I prefer tea.",
...                  {'cafe': 'tea', 'tea': 'cafe', 'like': 'prefer'})
'Do you prefer tea? No, I prefer cafe.'

对我来说，最重要的是你也可以使用正则表达式，例如只替换整个单词，或规范化空白:

>>> s = "I don't want to change this name:\n  Philip II of Spain"
>>> re_str_dict = {r'\bI\b': 'You', r'[\n\t ]+': ' '}
>>> multiple_replace(s, re_str_dict)
"You don't want to change this name: Philip II of Spain"

如果你想使用字典键作为普通字符串， 你可以在调用multiple_replace之前转义这些，例如使用下面的函数:

def escape_keys(d):
    """ transform dictionary d by applying re.escape to the keys """
    return dict((re.escape(k), v) for k, v in d.items())

>>> multiple_replace(s, escape_keys(re_str_dict))
"I don't want to change this name:\n  Philip II of Spain"

下面的函数可以帮助在你的字典键中找到错误的正则表达式(因为来自multiple_replace的错误消息不是很明显):

def check_re_list(re_list):
    """ Checks if each regular expression in list is well-formed. """
    for i, e in enumerate(re_list):
        try:
            re.compile(e)
        except (TypeError, re.error):
            print("Invalid regular expression string "
                  "at position {}: '{}'".format(i, e))

>>> check_re_list(re_str_dict.keys())

请注意，它没有链接替换，而是同时执行它们。这使得它更有效率，而不会限制它能做什么。为了模仿链接的效果，你可能只需要添加更多的字符串替换对，并确保这些对的预期顺序:

>>> multiple_replace("button", {"but": "mut", "mutton": "lamb"})
'mutton'
>>> multiple_replace("button", [("button", "lamb"),
...                             ("but", "mut"), ("mutton", "lamb")])
'lamb'

我把这句话建立在fj的精彩回答上:

import re

def multiple_replacer(*key_values):
    replace_dict = dict(key_values)
    replacement_function = lambda match: replace_dict[match.group(0)]
    pattern = re.compile("|".join([re.escape(k) for k, v in key_values]), re.M)
    return lambda string: pattern.sub(replacement_function, string)

def multiple_replace(string, *key_values):
    return multiple_replacer(*key_values)(string)

一针用法:

>>> replacements = (u"café", u"tea"), (u"tea", u"café"), (u"like", u"love")
>>> print multiple_replace(u"Do you like café? No, I prefer tea.", *replacements)
Do you love tea? No, I prefer café.

注意，由于替换只在一次传递中完成，“café”会变成“tea”，但不会变回“café”。

如果你需要做相同的替换多次，你可以很容易地创建一个替换函数:

>>> my_escaper = multiple_replacer(('"','\\"'), ('\t', '\\t'))
>>> many_many_strings = (u'This text will be escaped by "my_escaper"',
                       u'Does this work?\tYes it does',
                       u'And can we span\nmultiple lines?\t"Yes\twe\tcan!"')
>>> for line in many_many_strings:
...     print my_escaper(line)
... 
This text will be escaped by \"my_escaper\"
Does this work?\tYes it does
And can we span
multiple lines?\t\"Yes\twe\tcan!\"

改进:

将代码转换为函数 增加了多线支持 修正了逃跑的错误 容易创建一个函数，用于特定的多个替换

享受吧!: -)

这里有一个使用reduce的第一个解决方案的变体，如果你喜欢功能性的。：）

repls = {'hello' : 'goodbye', 'world' : 'earth'}
s = 'hello, world'
reduce(lambda a, kv: a.replace(*kv), repls.iteritems(), s)

马蒂诺的版本更好:

repls = ('hello', 'goodbye'), ('world', 'earth')
s = 'hello, world'
reduce(lambda a, kv: a.replace(*kv), repls, s)

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。

下面是另一种使用字典的方法:

listA="The cat jumped over the house".split()
modify = {word:word for number,word in enumerate(listA)}
modify["cat"],modify["jumped"]="dog","walked"
print " ".join(modify[x] for x in listA)

对于只替换一个字符，使用翻译和str.maketrans是我最喜欢的方法。

Tl;dr > result_string = your_string.translate(str.maketrans(dict_mapping))

demo

my_string = 'This is a test string.'
dict_mapping = {'i': 's', 's': 'S'}
result_good = my_string.translate(str.maketrans(dict_mapping))
result_bad = my_string
for x, y in dict_mapping.items():
    result_bad = result_bad.replace(x, y)
print(result_good)  # ThsS sS a teSt Strsng.
print(result_bad)   # ThSS SS a teSt StrSng.
