你可以使用toolz包中的merge函数，例如:

>>> import toolz
>>> dict1 = {1: {'a': 'A'}, 2: {'b': 'B'}}
>>> dict2 = {2: {'c': 'C'}, 3: {'d': 'D'}}
>>> toolz.merge_with(toolz.merge, dict1, dict2)
{1: {'a': 'A'}, 2: {'c': 'C'}, 3: {'d': 'D'}}

换个答案怎么样?!?这也避免了突变/副作用:

def merge(dict1, dict2):
    output = {}

    # adds keys from `dict1` if they do not exist in `dict2` and vice-versa
    intersection = {**dict2, **dict1}

    for k_intersect, v_intersect in intersection.items():
        if k_intersect not in dict1:
            v_dict2 = dict2[k_intersect]
            output[k_intersect] = v_dict2

        elif k_intersect not in dict2:
            output[k_intersect] = v_intersect

        elif isinstance(v_intersect, dict):
            v_dict2 = dict2[k_intersect]
            output[k_intersect] = merge(v_intersect, v_dict2)

        else:
            output[k_intersect] = v_intersect

    return output

dict1 = {1:{"a":{"A"}}, 2:{"b":{"B"}}}
dict2 = {2:{"c":{"C"}}, 3:{"d":{"D"}}}
dict3 = {1:{"a":{"A"}}, 2:{"b":{"B"},"c":{"C"}}, 3:{"d":{"D"}}}

assert dict3 == merge(dict1, dict2)

还有一个轻微的变化:

下面是一个纯粹的基于python3集的深度更新函数。它通过一次循环遍历一层来更新嵌套字典，并调用自己来更新下一层的字典值:

def deep_update(dict_original, dict_update):
    if isinstance(dict_original, dict) and isinstance(dict_update, dict):
        output=dict(dict_original)
        keys_original=set(dict_original.keys())
        keys_update=set(dict_update.keys())
        similar_keys=keys_original.intersection(keys_update)
        similar_dict={key:deep_update(dict_original[key], dict_update[key]) for key in similar_keys}
        new_keys=keys_update.difference(keys_original)
        new_dict={key:dict_update[key] for key in new_keys}
        output.update(similar_dict)
        output.update(new_dict)
        return output
    else:
        return dict_update

举个简单的例子:

x={'a':{'b':{'c':1, 'd':1}}}
y={'a':{'b':{'d':2, 'e':2}}, 'f':2}

print(deep_update(x, y))
>>> {'a': {'b': {'c': 1, 'd': 2, 'e': 2}}, 'f': 2}

这个版本的函数将处理N个字典，并且只处理字典——不能传递不恰当的参数，否则将引发TypeError。合并本身解释了键冲突，它不是覆盖来自合并链下的字典的数据，而是创建一组值并追加到该值;没有数据丢失。

它可能不是页面上最有效的，但它是最彻底的，当你合并2到N字典时，你不会丢失任何信息。

def merge_dicts(*dicts):
    if not reduce(lambda x, y: isinstance(y, dict) and x, dicts, True):
        raise TypeError, "Object in *dicts not of type dict"
    if len(dicts) < 2:
        raise ValueError, "Requires 2 or more dict objects"


    def merge(a, b):
        for d in set(a.keys()).union(b.keys()):
            if d in a and d in b:
                if type(a[d]) == type(b[d]):
                    if not isinstance(a[d], dict):
                        ret = list({a[d], b[d]})
                        if len(ret) == 1: ret = ret[0]
                        yield (d, sorted(ret))
                    else:
                        yield (d, dict(merge(a[d], b[d])))
                else:
                    raise TypeError, "Conflicting key:value type assignment"
            elif d in a:
                yield (d, a[d])
            elif d in b:
                yield (d, b[d])
            else:
                raise KeyError

    return reduce(lambda x, y: dict(merge(x, y)), dicts[1:], dicts[0])

print merge_dicts({1:1,2:{1:2}},{1:2,2:{3:1}},{4:4})

输出:{1:[1,2]，2:{1:2,3:1}，4:4}

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。

当然，代码将取决于您解决合并冲突的规则。这里有一个版本，它可以接受任意数量的参数，并递归地将它们合并到任意深度，而不使用任何对象突变。它使用以下规则来解决合并冲突:

字典优先于非字典值({"foo":{…}}优先于{"foo": "bar"}) 后面的参数优先于前面的参数(如果按顺序合并{"a": 1}， {"a"， 2}和{"a": 3}，结果将是{"a": 3})
