你就快成功了!进行嵌套列表推导的方法是将for语句放在与常规嵌套for语句相同的顺序。

因此,这

for inner_list in outer_list:
    for item in inner_list:
        ...

对应于

[... for inner_list in outer_list for item in inner_list]

所以你想

[image for menuitem in list_of_menuitems for image in menuitem]

你试过扁平化吗? 从matplotlib.cbook。Flatten (seq, scalarp=) ?

@。洛特:你启发我写了一个timeit应用程序。

我认为它也会根据分区的数量(容器列表中的迭代器的数量)而变化——你的评论没有提到这30个项目中有多少个分区。这个图在每次运行中平摊1000个项目，使用不同数量的分区。这些物品均匀地分布在各个分区中。

编辑:决定让它成为社区维基。

注意:METHODS可能应该使用装饰器进行积累，但我认为这样更容易让人们阅读。

如果您只是希望迭代一个扁平的数据结构版本，并且不需要可索引序列，请考虑itertools。连锁店和公司。

>>> list_of_menuitems = [['image00', 'image01'], ['image10'], []]
>>> import itertools
>>> chain = itertools.chain(*list_of_menuitems)
>>> print(list(chain))
['image00', 'image01', 'image10']

它可以在任何可迭代的东西上工作，其中应该包括Django的可迭代QuerySets，它似乎是你在问题中使用的。

编辑:无论如何，这可能和reduce一样好，因为reduce将有相同的开销将项复制到正在扩展的列表中。如果你在最后运行list(Chain)， Chain只会引起这种(相同的)开销。

Meta-Edit:实际上，它的开销比问题提出的解决方案要少，因为当您使用临时列表扩展原始列表时，会丢弃您创建的临时列表。

编辑:正如J.F.塞巴斯蒂安说itertools.chain.from_iterable避免解包，你应该使用它来避免*魔术，但timeit应用程序显示可以忽略的性能差异。

如果你要扁平化一个更复杂的列表与不可迭代元素或深度大于2，你可以使用以下函数:

def flat_list(list_to_flat):
    if not isinstance(list_to_flat, list):
        yield list_to_flat
    else:
        for item in list_to_flat:
            yield from flat_list(item)

它将返回一个生成器对象，您可以使用list()函数将其转换为列表。注意，yield from syntax可以从python3.3开始使用，但是可以使用显式迭代。 例子:

>>> a = [1, [2, 3], [1, [2, 3, [1, [2, 3]]]]]
>>> print(list(flat_list(a)))
[1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3]

def is_iterable(item):
   return isinstance(item, list) or isinstance(item, tuple)


def flatten(items):
    for i in items:
        if is_iterable(item):
            for m in flatten(i):
                yield m
        else:
            yield i

测试:

print list(flatten2([1.0, 2, 'a', (4,), ((6,), (8,)), (((8,),(9,)), ((12,),(10)))]))
