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

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
        }

这是我做的递归合并字典到无限深度的解决方案。传递给函数的第一个字典是主字典——其中的值将覆盖第二个字典中相同键的值。

def merge(dict1: dict, dict2: dict) -> dict:
    merged = dict1

    for key in dict2:
        if type(dict2[key]) == dict:
            merged[key] = merge(dict1[key] if key in dict1 else {}, dict2[key])
        else:
            if key not in dict1.keys():
                merged[key] = dict2[key]

    return merged

def m(a,b):
    aa = {
        k : dict(a.get(k,{}), **v) for k,v in b.items()
        }
    aap = print(aa)
    return aap

d1 = {1:{"a":"A"}, 2:{"b":"B"}}

d2 = {2:{"c":"C"}, 3:{"d":"D"}}

dict1 = {1:{"a":{1}}, 2:{"b":{2}}}

dict2 = {2:{"c":{222}}, 3:{"d":{3}}}

m(d1,d2)

m(dict1,dict2)

"""
Output :

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


{2: {'b': {2}, 'c': {222}}, 3: {'d': {3}}}

"""

我有一个迭代的解决方案-工作得更好的大字典&很多(例如jsons等):

import collections


def merge_dict_with_subdicts(dict1: dict, dict2: dict) -> dict:
    """
    similar behaviour to builtin dict.update - but knows how to handle nested dicts
    """
    q = collections.deque([(dict1, dict2)])
    while len(q) > 0:
        d1, d2 = q.pop()
        for k, v in d2.items():
            if k in d1 and isinstance(d1[k], dict) and isinstance(v, dict):
                q.append((d1[k], v))
            else:
                d1[k] = v

    return dict1

注意，这将使用d2中的值来覆盖d1，以防它们都不是字典。(与python的dict.update()相同)

一些测试:

def test_deep_update():
    d = dict()
    merge_dict_with_subdicts(d, {"a": 4})
    assert d == {"a": 4}

    new_dict = {
        "b": {
            "c": {
                "d": 6
            }
        }
    }
    merge_dict_with_subdicts(d, new_dict)
    assert d == {
        "a": 4,
        "b": {
            "c": {
                "d": 6
            }
        }
    }

    new_dict = {
        "a": 3,
        "b": {
            "f": 7
        }
    }
    merge_dict_with_subdicts(d, new_dict)
    assert d == {
        "a": 3,
        "b": {
            "c": {
                "d": 6
            },
            "f": 7
        }
    }

    # test a case where one of the dicts has dict as value and the other has something else
    new_dict = {
        'a': {
            'b': 4
        }
    }
    merge_dict_with_subdicts(d, new_dict)
    assert d['a']['b'] == 4

我已经测试了大约1200个字典——这种方法花了0.4秒，而递归的解决方案花了2.5秒。
