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, ([], []))

def partition(pred, seq):
  return reduce( lambda (yes, no), x: (yes+[x], no) if pred(x) else (yes, no+[x]), seq, ([], []) )

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。

如果列表由组和间歇分隔符组成，您可以使用:

def split(items, p):
    groups = [[]]
    for i in items:
        if p(i):
            groups.append([])
        groups[-1].append(i)
    return groups

用法:

split(range(1,11), lambda x: x % 3 == 0)
# gives [[1, 2], [3, 4, 5], [6, 7, 8], [9, 10]]

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)

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。
