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

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。

    return z

词典中的资源

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。

重复 / 深度更新 a dict

def deepupdate(original, update):
    """
    Recursively update a dict.
    Subdict's won't be overwritten but also updated.
    """
    for key, value in original.iteritems(): 
        if key not in update:
            update[key] = value
        elif isinstance(value, dict):
            deepupdate(value, update[key]) 
    return update

示威:

pluto_original = {
    'name': 'Pluto',
    'details': {
        'tail': True,
        'color': 'orange'
    }
}

pluto_update = {
    'name': 'Pluutoo',
    'details': {
        'color': 'blue'
    }
}

print deepupdate(pluto_original, pluto_update)

结果:

{
    'name': 'Pluutoo',
    'details': {
        'color': 'blue',
        'tail': True
    }
}

谢谢Radnaw的编辑。

一个联合的OP的两个词典会是这样的东西:

{'a': 1, 'b': 2, 10, 'c': 11}

具体而言,两个实体(x 和 y)的联盟包含所有 x 和/或 y 的元素,不幸的是,OP 所要求的不是联盟,尽管职位的标题。

我的下面的代码既不优雅,也不是单线,但我认为它与联盟的意义一致。

从OP的例子:

x = {'a':1, 'b': 2}
y = {'b':10, 'c': 11}

z = {}
for k, v in x.items():
    if not k in z:
        z[k] = [(v)]
    else:
        z[k].append((v))
for k, v in y.items():
    if not k in z:
        z[k] = [(v)]
    else:
        z[k].append((v))

{'a': [1], 'b': [2, 10], 'c': [11]}

无论你想要的列表都可以改变,但上述将工作,如果一个词典包含列表(和列表)作为每个词典中的值。

用一个细致的理解,你可以

x = {'a':1, 'b': 2}
y = {'b':10, 'c': 11}

dc = {xi:(x[xi] if xi not in list(y.keys()) 
           else y[xi]) for xi in list(x.keys())+(list(y.keys()))}

给予

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

注意合成,如果不明白

{ (some_key if condition else default_key):(something_if_true if condition 
          else something_if_false) for key, value in dict_.items() }

使用 Itertools 保持顺序的简单解决方案(后者有先例)

# py2
from itertools import chain, imap
merge = lambda *args: dict(chain.from_iterable(imap(dict.iteritems, args)))

# py3
from itertools import chain
merge = lambda *args: dict(chain.from_iterable(map(dict.items, args)))

这就是使用:

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

>>> z = {'c': 3, 'd': 4}
>>> merge(x, y, z)
{'a': 1, 'b': 10, 'c': 3, 'd': 4}
