有时候你并不需要清单上的另一半。 例如:

import sys
from itertools import ifilter

trustedPeople = sys.argv[1].split(',')
newName = sys.argv[2]

myFriends = ifilter(lambda x: x.startswith('Shi'), trustedPeople)

print '%s is %smy friend.' % (newName, newName not in myFriends 'not ' or '')

我将采用2步方法，将谓词的求值与列表的过滤分离:

def partition(pred, iterable):
    xs = list(zip(map(pred, iterable), iterable))
    return [x[1] for x in xs if x[0]], [x[1] for x in xs if not x[0]]

就性能而言(除了在iterable的每个成员上只对pred求值一次之外)，这样做的好处在于它将大量逻辑从解释器中移出，转移到高度优化的迭代和映射代码中。这可以加快长迭代对象的迭代速度，就像回答中描述的那样。

在表达性方面，它利用了像理解和映射这样的表达性习语。

如果你坚持聪明，你可以采用温登的解决方案，再加上一点虚假的聪明:

def splay(l, f, d=None):
  d = d or {}
  for x in l: d.setdefault(f(x), []).append(x)
  return d

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')]

如果你不想用两行代码来完成一个语义只需要一次的操作，你可以把上面的一些方法(甚至是你自己的方法)包装在一个函数中:

def part_with_predicate(l, pred):
    return [i for i in l if pred(i)], [i for i in l if not pred(i)]

这不是一种惰性计算方法，它确实对列表进行了两次迭代，但是它允许您在一行代码中对列表进行分区。

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.
