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.

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.'

def unPretty(S):
   # Given a dictionary, JSON, list, float, int, or even a string...
   # return a string stripped of CR, LF replaced by space, with multiple spaces reduced to one.
   return ' '.join(str(S).replace('\n', ' ').replace('\r', '').split())

Foo是你的字符串:

" ".join(foo.split())

需要注意的是，这将删除“所有空白字符(空格，制表符，换行符，返回，formfeed)”(感谢hhsaffar，见评论)。例如，“这不是一个测试”将有效地以“这是一个测试”结束。

一个简单的灵魂

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

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
