我能想到的最简单的方法是:

#!/usr/bin/python

from copy import deepcopy
def dict_merge(a, b):
    if not isinstance(b, dict):
        return b
    result = deepcopy(a)
    for k, v in b.iteritems():
        if k in result and isinstance(result[k], dict):
                result[k] = dict_merge(result[k], v)
        else:
            result[k] = deepcopy(v)
    return result

a = {1:{"a":'A'}, 2:{"b":'B'}}
b = {2:{"c":'C'}, 3:{"d":'D'}}

print dict_merge(a,b)

输出:

{1: {'a': 'A'}, 2: {'c': 'C', 'b': 'B'}, 3: {'d': 'D'}}

如果有人想要另一种方法来解决这个问题，这是我的解决方案。

优点:简洁、声明性和函数式风格(递归，没有突变)。

潜在缺点:这可能不是你想要的合并。查阅文档字符串以了解语义。

def deep_merge(a, b):
    """
    Merge two values, with `b` taking precedence over `a`.

    Semantics:
    - If either `a` or `b` is not a dictionary, `a` will be returned only if
      `b` is `None`. Otherwise `b` will be returned.
    - If both values are dictionaries, they are merged as follows:
        * Each key that is found only in `a` or only in `b` will be included in
          the output collection with its value intact.
        * For any key in common between `a` and `b`, the corresponding values
          will be merged with the same semantics.
    """
    if not isinstance(a, dict) or not isinstance(b, dict):
        return a if b is None else b
    else:
        # If we're here, both a and b must be dictionaries or subtypes thereof.

        # Compute set of all keys in both dictionaries.
        keys = set(a.keys()) | set(b.keys())

        # Build output dictionary, merging recursively values with common keys,
        # where `None` is used to mean the absence of a value.
        return {
            key: deep_merge(a.get(key), b.get(key))
            for key in keys
        }

这应该有助于将所有项从dict2合并到dict1:

for item in dict2:
    if item in dict1:
        for leaf in dict2[item]:
            dict1[item][leaf] = dict2[item][leaf]
    else:
        dict1[item] = dict2[item]

请测试一下，告诉我们这是否是你想要的。

编辑:

上述解决方案只合并了一个级别，但正确地解决了op给出的例子。如果合并多个级别，应该使用递归。

这实际上是相当棘手的-特别是如果你想要一个有用的错误消息时，事情是不一致的，同时正确地接受重复但一致的条目(这是这里没有其他答案做的..)。

假设你没有大量的条目，递归函数是最简单的:

from functools import reduce

def merge(a, b, path=None):
    "merges b into a"
    if path is None: path = []
    for key in b:
        if key in a:
            if isinstance(a[key], dict) and isinstance(b[key], dict):
                merge(a[key], b[key], path + [str(key)])
            elif a[key] == b[key]:
                pass # same leaf value
            else:
                raise Exception('Conflict at %s' % '.'.join(path + [str(key)]))
        else:
            a[key] = b[key]
    return a

# works
print(merge({1:{"a":"A"},2:{"b":"B"}}, {2:{"c":"C"},3:{"d":"D"}}))
# has conflict
merge({1:{"a":"A"},2:{"b":"B"}}, {1:{"a":"A"},2:{"b":"C"}})

注意，这会使a发生变化——b的内容被添加到a(也会返回a)。如果你想保留a，你可以叫它merge(dict(a) b)

Agf指出(下面)，你可能有两个以上的字典，在这种情况下，你可以使用:

reduce(merge, [dict1, dict2, dict3...])

所有内容都将被添加到dict1中。

注意:我编辑了我的初始答案以改变第一个参数;这使得“reduce”更容易解释

基于@andrew cooke。这个版本处理字典的嵌套列表，还允许选项更新值
