>>> z
{'a': 1, 'b': 3, 'c': 4}

z = {**x, **y}

z = {**x, 'foo': 1, 'bar': 2, **y}

>>> z

z = x.copy()

def merge_two_dicts(x, y):
    """Given two dictionaries, merge them into a new dict as a shallow copy."""
    z = x.copy()

def merge_dicts(*dict_args):

    result = {}
    for dictionary in dict_args:
        result.update(dictionary)
    return result

z = merge_dicts(a, b, c, d, e, f, g) 

和 g 的关键值对将先行于字典 a 到 f 等。

z = dict(x.items() + y.items())

>>> c = dict(a.items() + b.items())
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +: 'dict_items' and 'dict_items'

同样,在 Python 3 (viewitems() 在 Python 2.7) 中采取元素的合并也会失败,当值是不可破坏的对象(如列表,例如)。即使您的值是可破坏的,因为套件是无形的,行为与先例无定义。

>>> c = dict(a.items() | b.items())

>>> x = {'a': []}
>>> y = {'b': []}
>>> dict(x.items() | y.items())
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: unhashable type: 'list'

>>> x = {'a': 2}
>>> y = {'a': 1}
>>> dict(x.items() | y.items())
{'a': 2}

另一个你不应该使用的黑客:

z = dict(x, **y)

字典的目的是采取可触摸的密钥(例如,frozensets或tuples),但这种方法在Python 3中失败,当密钥不是线条时。

>>> c = dict(a, **b)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: keyword arguments must be strings

和

dict(a=1, b=10, c=11)

{'a': 1, 'b': 10, 'c': 11}

>>> foo(**{('a', 'b'): None})
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: foo() keywords must be strings
>>> dict(**{('a', 'b'): None})
{('a', 'b'): None}

我的答案: merge_two_dicts(x,y)实际上对我来说看起来更清楚,如果我们实际上对可读性感兴趣。

from copy import deepcopy

def dict_of_dicts_merge(x, y):
    z = {}
    overlapping_keys = x.keys() & y.keys()
    for key in overlapping_keys:
        z[key] = dict_of_dicts_merge(x[key], y[key])
    for key in x.keys() - overlapping_keys:
        z[key] = deepcopy(x[key])
    for key in y.keys() - overlapping_keys:
        z[key] = deepcopy(y[key])
    return z

>>> x = {'a':{1:{}}, 'b': {2:{}}}
>>> y = {'b':{10:{}}, 'c': {11:{}}}
>>> dict_of_dicts_merge(x, y)
{'b': {2: {}, 10: {}}, 'a': {1: {}}, 'c': {11: {}}}

词典中的资源

这是如此愚蠢,即.update 没有回报,我只是使用一个简单的助理功能来解决问题:

def merge(dict1,*dicts):
    for dict2 in dicts:
        dict1.update(dict2)
    return dict1

例子:

merge(dict1,dict2)
merge(dict1,dict2,dict3)
merge(dict1,dict2,dict3,dict4)
merge({},dict1,dict2)  # this one returns a new copy

z1 = dict(x.items() + y.items())
z2 = dict(x, **y)

在我的机器上,至少(一个相当常见的x86_64运行Python 2.5.2),替代Z2不仅更短,更简单,而且更快。

% python -m timeit -s 'x=y=dict((i,i) for i in range(20))' 'z1=dict(x.items() + y.items())'
100000 loops, best of 3: 5.67 usec per loop
% python -m timeit -s 'x=y=dict((i,i) for i in range(20))' 'z2=dict(x, **y)' 
100000 loops, best of 3: 1.53 usec per loop

示例2:不超越的字典,将252条短线地图到整条,反之亦然:

% python -m timeit -s 'from htmlentitydefs import codepoint2name as x, name2codepoint as y' 'z1=dict(x.items() + y.items())'
1000 loops, best of 3: 260 usec per loop
% python -m timeit -s 'from htmlentitydefs import codepoint2name as x, name2codepoint as y' 'z2=dict(x, **y)'               
10000 loops, best of 3: 26.9 usec per loop

z2赢得了大约10的因素,这在我的书中是一个相当大的胜利!

在比较这两个之后,我想知道 z1 的不良性能是否可以归功于构建两个项目列表的顶端,这反过来导致我想知道这个变量是否会更好地工作:

from itertools import chain
z3 = dict(chain(x.iteritems(), y.iteritems()))

% python -m timeit -s 'from itertools import chain; from htmlentitydefs import codepoint2name as x, name2codepoint as y' 'z3=dict(chain(x.iteritems(), y.iteritems()))'
10000 loops, best of 3: 66 usec per loop

z0 = dict(x)
z0.update(y)

% python -m timeit -s 'from htmlentitydefs import codepoint2name as x, name2codepoint as y' 'z0=dict(x); z0.update(y)'
10000 loops, best of 3: 26.9 usec per loop

你也可以这样写作

z0 = x.copy()
z0.update(y)

正如托尼所做的那样,但(不令人惊讶)评分的差异显然没有对性能的测量效应。 使用任何人看起来对你是正确的。

一种替代:

z = x.copy()
z.update(y)

在这里和其他地方绘制想法,我已经理解了一个功能:

def merge(*dicts, **kv): 
      return { k:v for d in list(dicts) + [kv] for k,v in d.items() }

使用(在Python 3中测试):

assert (merge({1:11,'a':'aaa'},{1:99, 'b':'bbb'},foo='bar')==\
    {1: 99, 'foo': 'bar', 'b': 'bbb', 'a': 'aaa'})

assert (merge(foo='bar')=={'foo': 'bar'})

assert (merge({1:11},{1:99},foo='bar',baz='quux')==\
    {1: 99, 'foo': 'bar', 'baz':'quux'})

assert (merge({1:11},{1:99})=={1: 99})

你可以用Lambda。

到目前为止,我对列出的解决方案的问题是,在合并词典中,关键“b”的值为10,但在我的思维方式上,它应该是12。

import timeit

n=100000
su = """
x = {'a':1, 'b': 2}
y = {'b':10, 'c': 11}
"""

def timeMerge(f,su,niter):
    print "{:4f} sec for: {:30s}".format(timeit.Timer(f,setup=su).timeit(n),f)

timeMerge("dict(x, **y)",su,n)
timeMerge("x.update(y)",su,n)
timeMerge("dict(x.items() + y.items())",su,n)
timeMerge("for k in y.keys(): x[k] = k in x and x[k]+y[k] or y[k] ",su,n)

#confirm for loop adds b entries together
x = {'a':1, 'b': 2}
y = {'b':10, 'c': 11}
for k in y.keys(): x[k] = k in x and x[k]+y[k] or y[k]
print "confirm b elements are added:",x

结果:

0.049465 sec for: dict(x, **y)
0.033729 sec for: x.update(y)                   
0.150380 sec for: dict(x.items() + y.items())   
0.083120 sec for: for k in y.keys(): x[k] = k in x and x[k]+y[k] or y[k]

confirm b elements are added: {'a': 1, 'c': 11, 'b': 12}
