>>> list(map(str.lower,["A","B","C"]))
['a', 'b', 'c']

>>> list(map(str.lower,["A","B","C"]))
['a', 'b', 'c']

这可以通过列表推导来完成

>>> [x.lower() for x in ["A", "B", "C"]]
['a', 'b', 'c']
>>> [x.upper() for x in ["a", "b", "c"]]
['A', 'B', 'C']

或者使用映射函数

>>> list(map(lambda x: x.lower(), ["A", "B", "C"]))
['a', 'b', 'c']
>>> list(map(lambda x: x.upper(), ["a", "b", "c"]))
['A', 'B', 'C']

解决方案:

>>> s = []
>>> p = ['This', 'That', 'There', 'is', 'apple']
>>> [s.append(i.lower()) if not i.islower() else s.append(i) for i in p]
>>> s
>>> ['this', 'that', 'there', 'is','apple']

此解决方案将创建一个单独的列表，其中包含小写项，而不管它们的原始大小写。如果原始的大小写是大写，那么列表s将包含列表p中相应项的小写。如果列表p中列表项的原始大小写已经是小写，那么列表s将保留该项的大小写并保持其小写。现在你可以用列表s代替列表p。

除了更容易阅读(对许多人来说)，列表推导式也在速度竞赛中获胜:

$ python2.6 -m timeit '[x.lower() for x in ["A","B","C"]]'
1000000 loops, best of 3: 1.03 usec per loop
$ python2.6 -m timeit '[x.upper() for x in ["a","b","c"]]'
1000000 loops, best of 3: 1.04 usec per loop

$ python2.6 -m timeit 'map(str.lower,["A","B","C"])'
1000000 loops, best of 3: 1.44 usec per loop
$ python2.6 -m timeit 'map(str.upper,["a","b","c"])'
1000000 loops, best of 3: 1.44 usec per loop

$ python2.6 -m timeit 'map(lambda x:x.lower(),["A","B","C"])'
1000000 loops, best of 3: 1.87 usec per loop
$ python2.6 -m timeit 'map(lambda x:x.upper(),["a","b","c"])'
1000000 loops, best of 3: 1.87 usec per loop

如果你试图将列表中的所有字符串转换为小写，你可以使用pandas:

import pandas as pd

data = ['Study', 'Insights']

pd_d = list(pd.Series(data).str.lower())

输出:

['study', 'insights']
