假设你有一本这样的字典:

{'a': 1,
 'c': {'a': 2,
       'b': {'x': 5,
             'y' : 10}},
 'd': [1, 2, 3]}

你会如何把它平摊成这样:

{'a': 1,
 'c_a': 2,
 'c_b_x': 5,
 'c_b_y': 10,
 'd': [1, 2, 3]}

如果你使用pandas,有一个函数隐藏在pandas.io.json中。_normalize1调用nested_to_record来完成这个操作。

from pandas.io.json._normalize import nested_to_record    

flat = nested_to_record(my_dict, sep='_')

1在熊猫0.24版本。X及以上版本使用panda .io.json.normalize(不带_)

这与imran和ralu的回答相似。它不使用生成器,而是使用闭包的递归:

def flatten_dict(d, separator='_'):
  final = {}
  def _flatten_dict(obj, parent_keys=[]):
    for k, v in obj.iteritems():
      if isinstance(v, dict):
        _flatten_dict(v, parent_keys + [k])
      else:
        key = separator.join(parent_keys + [k])
        final[key] = v
  _flatten_dict(d)
  return final

>>> print flatten_dict({'a': 1, 'c': {'a': 2, 'b': {'x': 5, 'y' : 10}}, 'd': [1, 2, 3]})
{'a': 1, 'c_a': 2, 'c_b_x': 5, 'd': [1, 2, 3], 'c_b_y': 10}
def flatten(dictionary, prefix = '', separator = '_'):
    out_dict = {}
    if type(dictionary) != dict:
        out_dict[prefix] = dictionary
        return out_dict
    elif dictionary is None:
        return None
    for k in dictionary.keys():
        if prefix:
            prefix_n = prefix + f'{separator}{k}'
        else:
            prefix_n = k
        out_dict.update(flatten_new(dictionary[k], prefix_n))
    return out_dict

输出:

{'a': 1, 'c_a': 2, 'c_b_x': 5, 'c_b_y': 10, 'd': [1, 2, 3]}

使用发电机:

def flat_dic_helper(prepand,d):
    if len(prepand) > 0:
        prepand = prepand + "_"
    for k in d:
        i = d[k]
        if isinstance(i, dict):
            r = flat_dic_helper(prepand + k,i)
            for j in r:
                yield j
        else:
            yield (prepand + k,i)

def flat_dic(d):
    return dict(flat_dic_helper("",d))

d = {'a': 1, 'c': {'a': 2, 'b': {'x': 5, 'y' : 10}}, 'd': [1, 2, 3]}
print(flat_dic(d))


>> {'a': 1, 'c_a': 2, 'c_b_x': 5, 'd': [1, 2, 3], 'c_b_y': 10}

代码:

test = {'a': 1, 'c': {'a': 2, 'b': {'x': 5, 'y' : 10}}, 'd': [1, 2, 3]}

def parse_dict(init, lkey=''):
    ret = {}
    for rkey,val in init.items():
        key = lkey+rkey
        if isinstance(val, dict):
            ret.update(parse_dict(val, key+'_'))
        else:
            ret[key] = val
    return ret

print(parse_dict(test,''))

结果:

$ python test.py
{'a': 1, 'c_a': 2, 'c_b_x': 5, 'd': [1, 2, 3], 'c_b_y': 10}
