看一看优秀的Schematics库

https://github.com/schematics/schematics

它允许你创建类型化的数据结构，可以序列化/反序列化从python到Javascript风格，例如:

class MapPrice(Model):
    price_before_vat = DecimalType(serialized_name='priceBeforeVat')
    vat_rate = DecimalType(serialized_name='vatRate')
    vat = DecimalType()
    total_price = DecimalType(serialized_name='totalPrice')

简洁，没有正则表达式，但HTTPResponseCode=> httpresponse_code:

def from_camel(name):
    """
    ThisIsCamelCase ==> this_is_camel_case
    """
    name = name.replace("_", "")
    _cas = lambda _x : [_i.isupper() for _i in _x]
    seq = zip(_cas(name[1:-1]), _cas(name[2:]))
    ss = [_x + 1 for _x, (_i, _j) in enumerate(seq) if (_i, _j) == (False, True)]
    return "".join([ch + "_" if _x in ss else ch for _x, ch in numerate(name.lower())])

Stringcase是我的首选库;例如:

>>> from stringcase import pascalcase, snakecase
>>> snakecase('FooBarBaz')
'foo_bar_baz'
>>> pascalcase('foo_bar_baz')
'FooBarBaz'

以下是我的解决方案:

def un_camel(text):
    """ Converts a CamelCase name into an under_score name. 

        >>> un_camel('CamelCase')
        'camel_case'
        >>> un_camel('getHTTPResponseCode')
        'get_http_response_code'
    """
    result = []
    pos = 0
    while pos < len(text):
        if text[pos].isupper():
            if pos-1 > 0 and text[pos-1].islower() or pos-1 > 0 and \
            pos+1 < len(text) and text[pos+1].islower():
                result.append("_%s" % text[pos].lower())
            else:
                result.append(text[pos].lower())
        else:
            result.append(text[pos])
        pos += 1
    return "".join(result)

它支持评论中讨论的那些极端情况。例如，它会像它应该的那样将getHTTPResponseCode转换为get_http_response_code。

这不是一个优雅的方法，是一个非常“低级”的实现一个简单的状态机(位域状态机)，可能是最反python模式来解决这个问题，然而re模块也实现了一个太复杂的状态机来解决这个简单的任务，所以我认为这是一个很好的解决方案。

def splitSymbol(s):
    si, ci, state = 0, 0, 0 # start_index, current_index 
    '''
        state bits:
        0: no yields
        1: lower yields
        2: lower yields - 1
        4: upper yields
        8: digit yields
        16: other yields
        32 : upper sequence mark
    '''
    for c in s:

        if c.islower():
            if state & 1:
                yield s[si:ci]
                si = ci
            elif state & 2:
                yield s[si:ci - 1]
                si = ci - 1
            state = 4 | 8 | 16
            ci += 1

        elif c.isupper():
            if state & 4:
                yield s[si:ci]
                si = ci
            if state & 32:
                state = 2 | 8 | 16 | 32
            else:
                state = 8 | 16 | 32

            ci += 1

        elif c.isdigit():
            if state & 8:
                yield s[si:ci]
                si = ci
            state = 1 | 4 | 16
            ci += 1

        else:
            if state & 16:
                yield s[si:ci]
            state = 0
            ci += 1  # eat ci
            si = ci   
        print(' : ', c, bin(state))
    if state:
        yield s[si:ci] 


def camelcaseToUnderscore(s):
    return '_'.join(splitSymbol(s)) 

splitsymbol可以解析所有的大小写类型:UpperSEQUENCEInterleaved, under_score, BIG_SYMBOLS和cammelCasedMethods

我希望它是有用的

为了好玩:

>>> def un_camel(input):
...     output = [input[0].lower()]
...     for c in input[1:]:
...             if c in ('ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'):
...                     output.append('_')
...                     output.append(c.lower())
...             else:
...                     output.append(c)
...     return str.join('', output)
...
>>> un_camel("camel_case")
'camel_case'
>>> un_camel("CamelCase")
'camel_case'

或者，更有趣的是:

>>> un_camel = lambda i: i[0].lower() + str.join('', ("_" + c.lower() if c in "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ" else c for c in i[1:]))
>>> un_camel("camel_case")
'camel_case'
>>> un_camel("CamelCase")
'camel_case'
