Python 3.5 (PEP 448) 允许更好的合成选项:

x = {'a': 1, 'b': 1}
y = {'a': 2, 'c': 2}
final = {**x, **y} 
final
# {'a': 2, 'b': 1, 'c': 2}

或甚至

final = {'a': 1, 'b': 1, **x, **y}

在 Python 3.9 中,您也可以使用 <unk>和 <unk>= 与 PEP 584 的下面的示例

d = {'spam': 1, 'eggs': 2, 'cheese': 3}
e = {'cheese': 'cheddar', 'aardvark': 'Ethel'}
d | e
# {'spam': 1, 'eggs': 2, 'cheese': 'cheddar', 'aardvark': 'Ethel'}

最好的版本我可以想象,而不使用复制将是:

from itertools import chain
x = {'a':1, 'b': 2}
y = {'b':10, 'c': 11}
dict(chain(x.iteritems(), y.iteritems()))

它比 dict(x.items() + y.items()) 更快,但不像 n = copy(a); n.update(b),至少在 CPython 上。

我个人最喜欢这个版本,因为它在一个单一的功能合成中描述了我想要的东西相当好,唯一的小问题是,它并不完全显而易见,Y的值超过X的值,但我不认为很难找到它。

x = {'a': 1, 'b': 2}
y = {'b': 3, 'c': 4}

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

z = {**x, **y}

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

>>> z
{'a': 1, 'b': 3, 'foo': 1, 'bar': 2, 'c': 4}

z = x.copy()
z.update(y) # which returns None since it mutates z

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

z = merge_two_dicts(x, y)

def merge_dicts(*dict_args):
    """
    Given any number of dictionaries, shallow copy and merge into a new dict,
    precedence goes to key-value pairs in latter dictionaries.
    """
    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: {}}}

    return z

词典中的资源

在 Python 3.9 中

基于PEP 584的,Python的新版本引入了两个新的词典操作器:union(<unk>)和in-place union(<unk>=)。您可以使用<unk>来结合两个词典,而<unk>=将更新一个词典:

>>> pycon = {2016: "Portland", 2018: "Cleveland"}
>>> europython = {2017: "Rimini", 2018: "Edinburgh", 2019: "Basel"}

>>> pycon | europython
{2016: 'Portland', 2018: 'Edinburgh', 2017: 'Rimini', 2019: 'Basel'}

>>> pycon |= europython
>>> pycon
{2016: 'Portland', 2018: 'Edinburgh', 2017: 'Rimini', 2019: 'Basel'}

使用<unk>的优点之一是它在不同的字典类型上工作,并通过合并保持类型:

>>> from collections import defaultdict
>>> europe = defaultdict(lambda: "", {"Norway": "Oslo", "Spain": "Madrid"})
>>> africa = defaultdict(lambda: "", {"Egypt": "Cairo", "Zimbabwe": "Harare"})

>>> europe | africa
defaultdict(<function <lambda> at 0x7f0cb42a6700>,
  {'Norway': 'Oslo', 'Spain': 'Madrid', 'Egypt': 'Cairo', 'Zimbabwe': 'Harare'})

>>> {**europe, **africa}
{'Norway': 'Oslo', 'Spain': 'Madrid', 'Egypt': 'Cairo', 'Zimbabwe': 'Harare'}

您可以使用默认定义,当您想要有效处理丢失的密钥时,请注意, <unk> 保留默认定义,而 {**europe, **africa} 不。

基本用途是更新现有字典,类似于.update():

>>> libraries = {
...     "collections": "Container datatypes",
...     "math": "Mathematical functions",
... }
>>> libraries |= {"zoneinfo": "IANA time zone support"}
>>> libraries
{'collections': 'Container datatypes', 'math': 'Mathematical functions',
 'zoneinfo': 'IANA time zone support'}

当您将字典与字典合并时,两个字典都必须具有适当的字典类型,另一方面,现场运营商(字典=)很高兴与任何字典类似的数据结构合作:

>>> libraries |= [("graphlib", "Functionality for graph-like structures")]
>>> libraries
{'collections': 'Container datatypes', 'math': 'Mathematical functions',
 'zoneinfo': 'IANA time zone support',
 'graphlib': 'Functionality for graph-like structures'}

这个问题被标签为Python-3x,但考虑到这是一个相对较新的补充,并且最受欢迎的,接受的答案与Python 2.x解决方案广泛处理,我敢添加一个线条,引用一个令人兴奋的功能的Python 2.x列表理解,即名字泄漏。

$ python2
Python 2.7.13 (default, Jan 19 2017, 14:48:08) 
[GCC 6.3.0 20170118] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> x = {'a':1, 'b': 2}
>>> y = {'b':10, 'c': 11}
>>> [z.update(d) for z in [{}] for d in (x, y)]
[None, None]
>>> z
{'a': 1, 'c': 11, 'b': 10}
>>> ...

我很高兴说上面的内容不再在任何Python 3版本上工作。

此外,当您使用.items() (Python 3.0 之前),您正在创建一个新的列表,包含从字典中的项目. 如果您的字典是大,那么它是相当多的顶部(两个大列表将被扔掉,一旦合并的字典创建)。更新() 可以更有效地工作,因为它可以通过第二个字典项目为项目。

在时间方面:

>>> timeit.Timer("dict(x, **y)", "x = dict(zip(range(1000), range(1000)))\ny=dict(zip(range(1000,2000), range(1000,2000)))").timeit(100000)
15.52571702003479
>>> timeit.Timer("temp = x.copy()\ntemp.update(y)", "x = dict(zip(range(1000), range(1000)))\ny=dict(zip(range(1000,2000), range(1000,2000)))").timeit(100000)
15.694622993469238
>>> timeit.Timer("dict(x.items() + y.items())", "x = dict(zip(range(1000), range(1000)))\ny=dict(zip(range(1000,2000), range(1000,2000)))").timeit(100000)
41.484580039978027

此外,字典创建的关键词论点仅在Python 2.3中添加,而复制()和更新()将在较旧版本中工作。
