您可以将相同的值与许多键相关联，或者只是删除一个键并重新添加具有相同值的新键。

例如，如果你有键->值:

red->1
blue->2
green->4

没有理由不能添加紫色->2或删除红色->1并添加橙色->1

对于熊猫，你可以有这样的东西，

from pandas import DataFrame
df = DataFrame([{"fruit":"apple", "colour":"red"}])
df.rename(columns = {'fruit':'fruit_name'}, inplace = True)
df.to_dict('records')[0]
>>> {'fruit_name': 'apple', 'colour': 'red'}

为了有效地保持有序情况(另一个是平凡的，删除旧的和添加新的)，避免有序字典需要重构(至少部分地)，我把一个类(OrderedDictX)放在一起，它扩展了OrderedDict，并允许您高效地进行键更改，即在O(1)复杂度中。该实现还可以针对现在已排序的内置dict类进行调整。

它使用2个额外的字典来重新映射已更改的键(“外部”-例如，当它们出现在用户外部时)到底层OrderedDict中的键(“内部”)-字典将只保存已更改的键，因此只要没有更改键，它们将为空。

和结果:

OrderedDictX: 0.06587849999999995
OrderedDictRaymond: 1.1131364
Splice: 1165.2614647

正如预期的那样，拼接方法非常慢(但也没想到它会慢那么多)，并且使用大量内存，O(N) Raymond解决方案也较慢，在本例中为17倍。

当然，这个解决方案是O(1)，与O(N) OrderedDictRaymond相比，随着字典大小的增加，时间差变得更加明显，例如，对于5倍多的元素(100000)，O(N)现在慢了100倍:

NUM_ITEMS = 100000
OrderedDictX: 0.3636919999999999
OrderedDictRaymond: 36.3963971

只需2步即可轻松完成:

dictionary[new_key] = dictionary[old_key]
del dictionary[old_key]

或者一步:

dictionary[new_key] = dictionary.pop(old_key)

如果字典[old_key]未定义，将引发KeyError。注意，这将删除字典[old_key]。

>>> dictionary = { 1: 'one', 2:'two', 3:'three' }
>>> dictionary['ONE'] = dictionary.pop(1)
>>> dictionary
{2: 'two', 3: 'three', 'ONE': 'one'}
>>> dictionary['ONE'] = dictionary.pop(1)

我只是要帮我妻子做一些python类的事情，所以我写了这段代码来告诉她如何做。正如标题所示，它只替换键名。这是非常罕见的，你必须替换一个键名，并保持字典的顺序完整，但我还是想分享，因为这篇文章是当你搜索它时谷歌返回的，即使它是一个非常老的线程。

代码:

dictionary = {
    "cat": "meow",
    "dog": "woof",
    "cow": "ding ding ding",
    "goat": "beh"
}


def countKeys(dictionary):
    num = 0
    for key, value in dictionary.items():
        num += 1
    return num


def keyPosition(dictionary, search):
    num = 0
    for key, value in dictionary.items():
        if key == search:
            return num
        num += 1


def replaceKey(dictionary, position, newKey):
    num = 0
    updatedDictionary = {}
    for key, value in dictionary.items():
        if num == position:
            updatedDictionary.update({newKey: value})
        else:
            updatedDictionary.update({key: value})
        num += 1
    return updatedDictionary


for x in dictionary:
    print("A", x, "goes", dictionary[x])
    numKeys = countKeys(dictionary)

print("There are", numKeys, "animals in this list.\n")
print("Woops, that's not what a cow says...")

keyPos = keyPosition(dictionary, "cow")
print("Cow is in the", keyPos, "position, lets put a fox there instead...\n")
dictionary = replaceKey(dictionary, keyPos, "fox")

for x in dictionary:
    print("A", x, "goes", dictionary[x])

输出:

A cat goes meow
A dog goes woof
A cow goes ding ding ding
A goat goes beh
There are 4 animals in this list.

Woops, that's not what a cow says...
Cow is in the 2 position, lets put a fox there instead...

A cat goes meow
A dog goes woof
A fox goes ding ding ding
A goat goes beh

这将小写你所有的字典键。即使你有嵌套的字典或列表。您可以执行类似的操作来应用其他转换。
