Python中没有秘密;)

Namedtuple是一个元组

>>> node = namedtuple('node', "a b")
>>> node(1,2) + node(5,6)
(1, 2, 5, 6)
>>> (node(1,2), node(5,6))
(node(a=1, b=2), node(a=5, b=6))
>>> 

更多的实验来回应评论:

>>> from collections import namedtuple
>>> from operator import *
>>> mytuple = namedtuple('A', "a b")
>>> yourtuple = namedtuple('Z', "x y")
>>> mytuple(1,2) + yourtuple(5,6)
(1, 2, 5, 6)
>>> q = [mytuple(1,2), yourtuple(5,6)]
>>> q
[A(a=1, b=2), Z(x=5, y=6)]
>>> reduce(operator.__add__, q)
(1, 2, 5, 6)

namedtuple是tuple的一个有趣的子类型。

.．.dict.get()有一个默认值None，从而避免KeyErrors:

In [1]: test = { 1 : 'a' }

In [2]: test[2]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
<type 'exceptions.KeyError'>              Traceback (most recent call last)

&lt;ipython console&gt; in <module>()

<type 'exceptions.KeyError'>: 2

In [3]: test.get( 2 )

In [4]: test.get( 1 )
Out[4]: 'a'

In [5]: test.get( 2 ) == None
Out[5]: True

甚至在“现场”指定这个:

In [6]: test.get( 2, 'Some' ) == 'Some'
Out[6]: True

你可以使用setdefault()来设置一个值，如果它不存在就返回:

>>> a = {}
>>> b = a.setdefault('foo', 'bar')
>>> a
{'foo': 'bar'}
>>> b
'bar

可读正则表达式

在Python中，您可以将正则表达式拆分为多行，命名匹配并插入注释。

示例详细语法(来自Python):

>>> pattern = """
... ^                   # beginning of string
... M{0,4}              # thousands - 0 to 4 M's
... (CM|CD|D?C{0,3})    # hundreds - 900 (CM), 400 (CD), 0-300 (0 to 3 C's),
...                     #            or 500-800 (D, followed by 0 to 3 C's)
... (XC|XL|L?X{0,3})    # tens - 90 (XC), 40 (XL), 0-30 (0 to 3 X's),
...                     #        or 50-80 (L, followed by 0 to 3 X's)
... (IX|IV|V?I{0,3})    # ones - 9 (IX), 4 (IV), 0-3 (0 to 3 I's),
...                     #        or 5-8 (V, followed by 0 to 3 I's)
... $                   # end of string
... """
>>> re.search(pattern, 'M', re.VERBOSE)

命名匹配示例(摘自正则表达式HOWTO)

>>> p = re.compile(r'(?P<word>\b\w+\b)')
>>> m = p.search( '(((( Lots of punctuation )))' )
>>> m.group('word')
'Lots'

由于字符串字面值的串联，你也可以在不使用re.VERBOSE的情况下详细地编写一个正则表达式。

>>> pattern = (
...     "^"                 # beginning of string
...     "M{0,4}"            # thousands - 0 to 4 M's
...     "(CM|CD|D?C{0,3})"  # hundreds - 900 (CM), 400 (CD), 0-300 (0 to 3 C's),
...                         #            or 500-800 (D, followed by 0 to 3 C's)
...     "(XC|XL|L?X{0,3})"  # tens - 90 (XC), 40 (XL), 0-30 (0 to 3 X's),
...                         #        or 50-80 (L, followed by 0 to 3 X's)
...     "(IX|IV|V?I{0,3})"  # ones - 9 (IX), 4 (IV), 0-3 (0 to 3 I's),
...                         #        or 5-8 (V, followed by 0 to 3 I's)
...     "$"                 # end of string
... )
>>> print pattern
"^M{0,4}(CM|CD|D?C{0,3})(XC|XL|L?X{0,3})(IX|IV|V?I{0,3})$"

链接比较操作符:

>>> x = 5
>>> 1 < x < 10
True
>>> 10 < x < 20 
False
>>> x < 10 < x*10 < 100
True
>>> 10 > x <= 9
True
>>> 5 == x > 4
True

如果你认为它在做1 < x，结果是True，然后比较True < 10，这也是True，那么不，这真的不是发生的事情(见最后一个例子)。它实际上转化为1 < x和x < 10，以及x < 10和10 < x*10和x*10 < 100，但是类型更少，每个项只计算一次。

布尔上下文中的对象

空元组、列表、字典、字符串和许多其他对象在布尔上下文中等价于False(非空对象等价于True)。

empty_tuple = ()
empty_list = []
empty_dict = {}
empty_string = ''
empty_set = set()
if empty_tuple or empty_list or empty_dict or empty_string or empty_set:
  print 'Never happens!'

这允许逻辑运算返回它的一个操作数，而不是True/False，这在某些情况下很有用:

s = t or "Default value" # s will be assigned "Default value"
                         # if t is false/empty/none
