一个紧凑的解决方案，基于将字符串转换为List[Tuple(str, int)]。

Code

def string_to_pairs(s, pairs=re.compile(r"(\D*)(\d*)").findall):
    return [(text.lower(), int(digits or 0)) for (text, digits) in pairs(s)[:-1]]

示范

sorted(['Elm11', 'Elm12', 'Elm2', 'elm0', 'elm1', 'elm10', 'elm13', 'elm9'], key=string_to_pairs)

输出:

['elm0', 'elm1', 'Elm2', 'elm9', 'elm10', 'Elm11', 'Elm12', 'elm13']

测试

转换

assert string_to_pairs("") == []
assert string_to_pairs("123") == [("", 123)]
assert string_to_pairs("abc") == [("abc", 0)]
assert string_to_pairs("123abc") == [("", 123), ("abc", 0)]
assert string_to_pairs("abc123") == [("abc", 123)]
assert string_to_pairs("123abc456") == [("", 123), ("abc", 456)]
assert string_to_pairs("abc123efg") == [("abc", 123), ("efg", 0)]

奖金

如果字符串混合了非ascii文本和数字，您可能会对将string_to_pairs()与我在其他地方给出的函数remove_diacritics()组合感兴趣。

上面的答案对于上面给出的具体例子是有用的，但对于更普遍的自然排序问题，却遗漏了几个有用的例子。我刚刚被其中一个案例咬了一口，所以想出了一个更彻底的解决方案:

def natural_sort_key(string_or_number):
    """
    by Scott S. Lawton <scott@ProductArchitect.com> 2014-12-11; public domain and/or CC0 license

    handles cases where simple 'int' approach fails, e.g.
        ['0.501', '0.55'] floating point with different number of significant digits
        [0.01, 0.1, 1]    already numeric so regex and other string functions won't work (and aren't required)
        ['elm1', 'Elm2']  ASCII vs. letters (not case sensitive)
    """

    def try_float(astring):
        try:
            return float(astring)
        except:
            return astring

    if isinstance(string_or_number, basestring):
        string_or_number = string_or_number.lower()

        if len(re.findall('[.]\d', string_or_number)) <= 1:
            # assume a floating point value, e.g. to correctly sort ['0.501', '0.55']
            # '.' for decimal is locale-specific, e.g. correct for the Anglosphere and Asia but not continental Europe
            return [try_float(s) for s in re.split(r'([\d.]+)', string_or_number)]
        else:
            # assume distinct fields, e.g. IP address, phone number with '.', etc.
            # caveat: might want to first split by whitespace
            # TBD: for unicode, replace isdigit with isdecimal
            return [int(s) if s.isdigit() else s for s in re.split(r'(\d+)', string_or_number)]
    else:
        # consider: add code to recurse for lists/tuples and perhaps other iterables
        return string_or_number

欢迎您的反馈。这并不是一个明确的解决方案;只是向前迈出了一步。

让我就这一需求提出自己的看法:

from typing import Tuple, Union, Optional, Generator


StrOrInt = Union[str, int]


# On Python 3.6, string concatenation is REALLY fast
# Tested myself, and this fella also tested:
# https://blog.ganssle.io/articles/2019/11/string-concat.html
def griter(s: str) -> Generator[StrOrInt, None, None]:
    last_was_digit: Optional[bool] = None
    cluster: str = ""
    for c in s:
        if last_was_digit is None:
            last_was_digit = c.isdigit()
            cluster += c
            continue
        if c.isdigit() != last_was_digit:
            if last_was_digit:
                yield int(cluster)
            else:
                yield cluster
            last_was_digit = c.isdigit()
            cluster = ""
        cluster += c
    if last_was_digit:
        yield int(cluster)
    else:
        yield cluster
    return


def grouper(s: str) -> Tuple[StrOrInt, ...]:
    return tuple(griter(s))

现在如果我们有这样的列表:

filelist = [
    'File3', 'File007', 'File3a', 'File10', 'File11', 'File1', 'File4', 'File5',
    'File9', 'File8', 'File8b1', 'File8b2', 'File8b11', 'File6'
]

我们可以简单地使用key= kwarg来进行自然排序:

>>> sorted(filelist, key=grouper)
['File1', 'File3', 'File3a', 'File4', 'File5', 'File6', 'File007', 'File8', 
'File8b1', 'File8b2', 'File8b11', 'File9', 'File10', 'File11']

当然，这里的缺点是，就像现在一样，该函数将对大写字母在小写字母之前进行排序。

我将把不区分大小写的grouper的实现留给读者:-)

>>> import re
>>> sorted(lst, key=lambda x: int(re.findall(r'\d+$', x)[0]))
['elm0', 'elm1', 'Elm2', 'elm9', 'elm10', 'Elm11', 'Elm12', 'elm13']

现在是一些更优雅的东西(pythonic)

-只要碰一下

有很多实现，虽然有些已经接近，但没有一个能完全捕获现代python所提供的优雅。

使用python测试(3.5.1) 包含了一个额外的列表，以演示当 数字在字符串中间 没有测试，但是，我假设如果您的列表是相当大的，那么事先编译正则表达式会更有效 如果这是一个错误的假设，我相信有人会纠正我

罢工

from re import compile, split    
dre = compile(r'(\d+)')
mylist.sort(key=lambda l: [int(s) if s.isdigit() else s.lower() for s in split(dre, l)])

使用时注意

从操作系统。路径导入分割 您需要区分导入

一种选择是将字符串转换为元组，并使用展开形式http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_does_expanded_form_mean替换数字

这样a90就会变成("a"，90,0)而a1就会变成("a"，1)

下面是一些示例代码(这不是很有效，因为它从数字中删除前导0的方式)

alist=["something1",
    "something12",
    "something17",
    "something2",
    "something25and_then_33",
    "something25and_then_34",
    "something29",
    "beta1.1",
    "beta2.3.0",
    "beta2.33.1",
    "a001",
    "a2",
    "z002",
    "z1"]

def key(k):
    nums=set(list("0123456789"))
        chars=set(list(k))
    chars=chars-nums
    for i in range(len(k)):
        for c in chars:
            k=k.replace(c+"0",c)
    l=list(k)
    base=10
    j=0
    for i in range(len(l)-1,-1,-1):
        try:
            l[i]=int(l[i])*base**j
            j+=1
        except:
            j=0
    l=tuple(l)
    print l
    return l

print sorted(alist,key=key)

输出:

('s', 'o', 'm', 'e', 't', 'h', 'i', 'n', 'g', 1)
('s', 'o', 'm', 'e', 't', 'h', 'i', 'n', 'g', 10, 2)
