概述

下面的方法将字典的深度合并问题细分为:

使用A的参数化浅归并函数merge(f)(A,b) 函数f归并两个字典a和b 与归并一起使用的递归归并函数f

实现

合并两个(非嵌套的)字典的函数可以用很多种方式编写。我个人喜欢

def merge(f):
    def merge(a,b): 
        keys = a.keys() | b.keys()
        return {key:f(a.get(key), b.get(key)) for key in keys}
    return merge

定义一个合适的递归归并函数f的一个好方法是使用multidispatch，它允许定义函数根据参数的类型沿着不同的路径求值。

from multipledispatch import dispatch

#for anything that is not a dict return
@dispatch(object, object)
def f(a, b):
    return b if b is not None else a

#for dicts recurse 
@dispatch(dict, dict)
def f(a,b):
    return merge(f)(a,b)

例子

要合并两个嵌套字典，只需使用merge(f)，例如:

dict1 = {1:{"a":"A"},2:{"b":"B"}}
dict2 = {2:{"c":"C"},3:{"d":"D"}}
merge(f)(dict1, dict2)
#returns {1: {'a': 'A'}, 2: {'b': 'B', 'c': 'C'}, 3: {'d': 'D'}} 

注:

这种方法的优点是:

该函数由较小的函数构建而成，每个函数只做一件事 这使得代码更容易推理和测试 这种行为不是硬编码的，但可以根据需要进行更改和扩展，从而提高代码重用(参见下面的示例)。

定制

一些答案还考虑了包含列表的字典，例如其他(可能嵌套的)字典。在这种情况下，可能需要映射列表并根据位置合并它们。这可以通过在归并函数f中添加另一个定义来实现:

import itertools
@dispatch(list, list)
def f(a,b):
    return [merge(f)(*arg) for arg in itertools.zip_longest(a, b)]

这个问题的一个问题是字典的值可以是任意复杂的数据块。基于这些和其他答案，我得出了以下代码:

class YamlReaderError(Exception):
    pass

def data_merge(a, b):
    """merges b into a and return merged result

    NOTE: tuples and arbitrary objects are not handled as it is totally ambiguous what should happen"""
    key = None
    # ## debug output
    # sys.stderr.write("DEBUG: %s to %s\n" %(b,a))
    try:
        if a is None or isinstance(a, str) or isinstance(a, unicode) or isinstance(a, int) or isinstance(a, long) or isinstance(a, float):
            # border case for first run or if a is a primitive
            a = b
        elif isinstance(a, list):
            # lists can be only appended
            if isinstance(b, list):
                # merge lists
                a.extend(b)
            else:
                # append to list
                a.append(b)
        elif isinstance(a, dict):
            # dicts must be merged
            if isinstance(b, dict):
                for key in b:
                    if key in a:
                        a[key] = data_merge(a[key], b[key])
                    else:
                        a[key] = b[key]
            else:
                raise YamlReaderError('Cannot merge non-dict "%s" into dict "%s"' % (b, a))
        else:
            raise YamlReaderError('NOT IMPLEMENTED "%s" into "%s"' % (b, a))
    except TypeError, e:
        raise YamlReaderError('TypeError "%s" in key "%s" when merging "%s" into "%s"' % (e, key, b, a))
    return a

我的用例是合并YAML文件，其中我只需要处理可能的数据类型的子集。因此我可以忽略元组和其他对象。对我来说，合理的合并逻辑意味着

取代标量 添加列表 通过添加缺失键和更新现有键来合并字典

其他任何事情和不可预见的事情都会导致错误。

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}

    "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]:
