如果你想用FP风格:

good, bad = [ sum(x, []) for x in zip(*(([y], []) if y in goodvals else ([], [y])
                                        for y in mylist)) ]

不是最易读的解决方案，但至少只遍历mylist一次。

使用布尔逻辑将数据分配给两个数组

>>> images, anims = [[i for i in files if t ^ (i[2].lower() in IMAGE_TYPES) ] for t in (0, 1)]
>>> images
[('file1.jpg', 33, '.jpg')]
>>> anims
[('file2.avi', 999, '.avi')]

good.append(x) if x in goodvals else bad.append(x)

来自@dansalmo的这个优雅简洁的回答被埋没在评论中，所以我只是把它作为一个答案转发到这里，这样它就能得到应有的重视，尤其是对新读者来说。

完整的例子:

good, bad = [], []
for x in my_list:
    good.append(x) if x in goodvals else bad.append(x)

有时候，列表理解并不是最好的选择!

我根据人们对这个话题的回答做了一个小测试，在一个随机生成的列表上测试。以下是列表的生成(可能有更好的方法，但这不是重点):

good_list = ('.jpg','.jpeg','.gif','.bmp','.png')

import random
import string
my_origin_list = []
for i in xrange(10000):
    fname = ''.join(random.choice(string.lowercase) for i in range(random.randrange(10)))
    if random.getrandbits(1):
        fext = random.choice(good_list)
    else:
        fext = "." + ''.join(random.choice(string.lowercase) for i in range(3))

    my_origin_list.append((fname + fext, random.randrange(1000), fext))

好了

# Parand
def f1():
    return [e for e in my_origin_list if e[2] in good_list], [e for e in my_origin_list if not e[2] in good_list]

# dbr
def f2():
    a, b = list(), list()
    for e in my_origin_list:
        if e[2] in good_list:
            a.append(e)
        else:
            b.append(e)
    return a, b

# John La Rooy
def f3():
    a, b = list(), list()
    for e in my_origin_list:
        (b, a)[e[2] in good_list].append(e)
    return a, b

# Ants Aasma
def f4():
    l1, l2 = tee((e[2] in good_list, e) for e in my_origin_list)
    return [i for p, i in l1 if p], [i for p, i in l2 if not p]

# My personal way to do
def f5():
    a, b = zip(*[(e, None) if e[2] in good_list else (None, e) for e in my_origin_list])
    return list(filter(None, a)), list(filter(None, b))

# BJ Homer
def f6():
    return filter(lambda e: e[2] in good_list, my_origin_list), filter(lambda e: not e[2] in good_list, my_origin_list)

使用cmpthese函数，最好的结果是dbr答案:

f1     204/s  --    -5%   -14%   -15%   -20%   -26%
f6     215/s     6%  --    -9%   -11%   -16%   -22%
f3     237/s    16%    10%  --    -2%    -7%   -14%
f4     240/s    18%    12%     2%  --    -6%   -13%
f5     255/s    25%    18%     8%     6%  --    -8%
f2     277/s    36%    29%    17%    15%     9%  --

不确定这是否是一个好方法，但也可以这样做

IMAGE_TYPES = ('.jpg','.jpeg','.gif','.bmp','.png')
files = [ ('file1.jpg', 33L, '.jpg'), ('file2.avi', 999L, '.avi')]
images, anims = reduce(lambda (i, a), f: (i + [f], a) if f[2] in IMAGE_TYPES else (i, a + [f]), files, ([], []))

一个基于生成器的版本，如果你能忍受一个或两个原始列表的反转。

设置…

random.seed(1234)
a = list(range(10))
random.shuffle(a)
a
[2, 8, 3, 5, 6, 4, 9, 0, 1, 7]

至于分裂……

(list((a.pop(j) for j, y in [(len(a)-i-1, x) for i,x in enumerate(a[::-1])] if y%2 == 0))[::-1], a)
([2, 8, 6, 4, 0], [3, 5, 9, 1, 7])

Another list of tuples of locations and each element is built in reverse order. In a generator wrapped round that each element is tested against the predicate (here test for even) and if True then the element is poped using previously computed locations. We are working backwards along the list so poping elements out does not change positions closer to the beginning of the list. A wrapping list() evaluates the generator and a final revers [::-1] puts the elements back in the right order. The original list "a" now only contains elements that for which the predicate is False.
