受到@gnibbler伟大(但简洁!)回答的启发，我们可以应用该方法映射到多个分区:

from collections import defaultdict

def splitter(l, mapper):
    """Split an iterable into multiple partitions generated by a callable mapper."""

    results = defaultdict(list)

    for x in l:
        results[mapper(x)] += [x]

    return results

然后可以使用splitter，如下所示:

>>> l = [1, 2, 3, 4, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 4, 3, 2, 3]
>>> split = splitter(l, lambda x: x % 2 == 0)  # partition l into odds and evens
>>> split.items()
>>> [(False, [1, 3, 3, 5, 3, 3]), (True, [2, 4, 2, 4, 6, 4, 2])]

这适用于有更复杂映射的两个以上分区(也适用于迭代器):

>>> import math
>>> l = xrange(1, 23)
>>> split = splitter(l, lambda x: int(math.log10(x) * 5))
>>> split.items()
[(0, [1]),
 (1, [2]),
 (2, [3]),
 (3, [4, 5, 6]),
 (4, [7, 8, 9]),
 (5, [10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15]),
 (6, [16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22])]

或者用字典来映射:

>>> map = {'A': 1, 'X': 2, 'B': 3, 'Y': 1, 'C': 2, 'Z': 3}
>>> l = ['A', 'B', 'C', 'C', 'X', 'Y', 'Z', 'A', 'Z']
>>> split = splitter(l, map.get)
>>> split.items()
(1, ['A', 'Y', 'A']), (2, ['C', 'C', 'X']), (3, ['B', 'Z', 'Z'])]

你可以在Python中进行惰性函数编程，像这样:

partition = lambda l, c: map(
  lambda iii: (i for ii in iii for i in ii),
  zip(*(([], [e]) if c(e) else ([e], []) for e in l)))

函数式编程很优雅，但在Python中不是这样。如果你知道你的列表中没有None值，也可以参考这个例子:

partition = lambda l, c: map(
  filter(lambda x: x is not None, l),
  zip(*((None, e) if c(e) else (e, None) for e in l)))

我认为基于N个条件来划分一个可迭代对象是很方便的

from collections import OrderedDict
def partition(iterable,*conditions):
    '''Returns a list with the elements that satisfy each of condition.
       Conditions are assumed to be exclusive'''
    d= OrderedDict((i,list())for i in range(len(conditions)))        
    for e in iterable:
        for i,condition in enumerate(conditions):
            if condition(e):
                d[i].append(e)
                break                    
    return d.values()

例如:

ints,floats,other = partition([2, 3.14, 1, 1.69, [], None],
                              lambda x: isinstance(x, int), 
                              lambda x: isinstance(x, float),
                              lambda x: True)

print " ints: {}\n floats:{}\n other:{}".format(ints,floats,other)

 ints: [2, 1]
 floats:[3.14, 1.69]
 other:[[], None]

如果元素可以满足多个条件，则删除断点。

Good = [x for x in mylist if x in goodvals] Bad = [x for x in mylist if x not in goodvals] 我怎样才能做得更优雅呢?

代码已经非常优雅了。

使用集合可能会有轻微的性能改进，但差异是微不足道的。基于集合的方法也会丢弃重复项，并且不会保留元素的顺序。我发现列表理解也更容易阅读。

事实上，我们甚至可以更简单地使用for循环:

good, bad = [], []

for x in mylist:
    if x in goodvals:
        good.append(f)
    else:
        bad.append(f)

这种方法可以更容易地添加额外的逻辑。例如，代码很容易被修改为丢弃None值:

good, bad = [], []

for x in mylist:
    if x is None:
        continue
    if x in goodvals:
        good.append(f)
    else:
        bad.append(f)

还有另一个答案，简短但“邪恶”(用于理解列表的副作用)。

digits = list(range(10))
odd = [x.pop(i) for i, x in enumerate(digits) if x % 2]

>>> odd
[1, 3, 5, 7, 9]

>>> digits
[0, 2, 4, 6, 8]

下面是惰性迭代器方法:

from itertools import tee

def split_on_condition(seq, condition):
    l1, l2 = tee((condition(item), item) for item in seq)
    return (i for p, i in l1 if p), (i for p, i in l2 if not p)

它对每个项计算一次条件，并返回两个生成器，第一个生成条件为真时序列中的值，另一个生成条件为假时序列中的值。

因为它是惰性的，你可以在任何迭代器上使用它，甚至是无限迭代器:

from itertools import count, islice

def is_prime(n):
    return n > 1 and all(n % i for i in xrange(2, n))

primes, not_primes = split_on_condition(count(), is_prime)
print("First 10 primes", list(islice(primes, 10)))
print("First 10 non-primes", list(islice(not_primes, 10)))

通常情况下，非惰性列表返回方法会更好:

def split_on_condition(seq, condition):
    a, b = [], []
    for item in seq:
        (a if condition(item) else b).append(item)
    return a, b

编辑:对于您更具体的用例，将项目按某些键分割到不同的列表中，这里有一个通用函数:

DROP_VALUE = lambda _:_
def split_by_key(seq, resultmapping, keyfunc, default=DROP_VALUE):
    """Split a sequence into lists based on a key function.

        seq - input sequence
        resultmapping - a dictionary that maps from target lists to keys that go to that list
        keyfunc - function to calculate the key of an input value
        default - the target where items that don't have a corresponding key go, by default they are dropped
    """
    result_lists = dict((key, []) for key in resultmapping)
    appenders = dict((key, result_lists[target].append) for target, keys in resultmapping.items() for key in keys)

    if default is not DROP_VALUE:
        result_lists.setdefault(default, [])
        default_action = result_lists[default].append
    else:
        default_action = DROP_VALUE

    for item in seq:
        appenders.get(keyfunc(item), default_action)(item)

    return result_lists

用法:

def file_extension(f):
    return f[2].lower()

split_files = split_by_key(files, {'images': IMAGE_TYPES}, keyfunc=file_extension, default='anims')
print split_files['images']
print split_files['anims']
