最简单的解决方案!

a = 'The   fox jumped   over    the log.'
while '  ' in a: a = a.replace('  ', ' ')
print(a)

输出:

The fox jumped over the log.

这个正是你想要的

old_string = 'The   fox jumped   over    the log '
new_string = " ".join(old_string.split())
print(new_string)

将会导致

The fox jumped over the log.

类似于前面的解决方案，但更具体:用一个空格替换两个或多个空格:

>>> import re
>>> s = "The   fox jumped   over    the log."
>>> re.sub('\s{2,}', ' ', s)
'The fox jumped over the log.'

最简单的解决方案!

a = 'The   fox jumped   over    the log.'
while '  ' in a: a = a.replace('  ', ' ')
print(a)

输出:

The fox jumped over the log.

import re
s = "The   fox jumped   over    the log."
re.sub("\s\s+" , " ", s)

or

re.sub("\s\s+", " ", s)

正如用户Martin Thoma在评论中提到的，在PEP 8中，逗号前的空格被列为令人讨厌的地方。

string = 'This is a             string full of spaces          and taps'
string = string.split(' ')
while '' in string:
    string.remove('')
string = ' '.join(string)
print(string)

结果:

这是一个充满空格和点击的字符串
