对于Python 3.4+，使用新的统计模块中的mean()来计算平均值:

from statistics import mean
xs = [15, 18, 2, 36, 12, 78, 5, 6, 9]
mean(xs)

或者使用熊猫系列。意思是方法:

pd.Series(sequence).mean()

演示:

>>> import pandas as pd
>>> l = [15, 18, 2, 36, 12, 78, 5, 6, 9]
>>> pd.Series(l).mean()
20.11111111111111
>>> 

从文档中可以看出:

系列。意思是(axis= no, skipna= no, level= no, numic_only = no, kwargs

这里是这个的文档:

整个文档:

作为初学者，我只是编写了这个代码:

L = [15, 18, 2, 36, 12, 78, 5, 6, 9]

total = 0

def average(numbers):
    total = sum(numbers)
    total = float(total)
    return total / len(numbers)

print average(L)

我想补充另一种方法

import itertools,operator
list(itertools.accumulate(l,operator.add)).pop(-1) / len(l)

结合上面的几个答案，我提出了以下与reduce一起工作的方法，并且不假设你在reduce函数中有L可用:

from operator import truediv

L = [15, 18, 2, 36, 12, 78, 5, 6, 9]

def sum_and_count(x, y):
    try:
        return (x[0] + y, x[1] + 1)
    except TypeError:
        return (x + y, 2)

truediv(*reduce(sum_and_count, L))

# prints 
20.11111111111111

xs = [15, 18, 2, 36, 12, 78, 5, 6, 9]
sum(xs) / len(xs)
