要获得字典统计的最大键/值:

stats = {'a':1000, 'b':3000, 'c': 100}

基于密钥

>>> max(stats.items()， key = lambda x: x[0]) (' c ', 100)

基于价值观

>>> max(stats.items()， key = lambda x: x[1]) (" b ", 3000)

当然，如果您只想从结果中获得键或值，则可以使用元组索引。例如，获取与最大值对应的键:

>>> max(stats.items()， key = lambda x: x[1])[0] “b”

解释

Python 3中的字典方法items()返回字典的视图对象。当这个视图对象被max函数遍历时，它会以(key, value)形式的元组生成字典项。

> > >列表(stats.items ()) [('c'， 100)， ('b'， 3000)， ('a'， 1000)]

当您使用lambda表达式lambda x: x[1]时，在每次迭代中，x是这些元组(键，值)之一。因此，通过选择正确的索引，您可以选择是通过键还是通过值进行比较。

Python 2

对于Python 2.2+版本，同样的代码也可以工作。但是，为了提高性能，最好使用iteritems()字典方法而不是items()。

笔记

这个答案是基于Climbs_lika_Spyder的回答上的评论。 使用的代码在Python 3.5.2和Python 2.7.10上进行了测试。

如果有一个以上的元素，我的值是最大的。我会列出所有值为最大值的键。

>>> stats = {'a':1000, 'b':3000, 'c': 100, 'd':3000}
>>> [key for m in [max(stats.values())] for key,val in stats.iteritems() if val == m]
['b', 'd']

这将给你'b'和任何其他最大键。

注意:对于python 3使用stats.items()而不是stats.iteritems()

Counter = 0
for word in stats.keys():
    if stats[word]> counter:
        Counter = stats [word]
print Counter

我已经测试了许多变体，这是返回最大值的dict键的最快方法:

def keywithmaxval(d):
     """ a) create a list of the dict's keys and values; 
         b) return the key with the max value"""  
     v = list(d.values())
     k = list(d.keys())
     return k[v.index(max(v))]

为了给你一个概念，这里有一些候选方法:

def f1():  
     v = list(d1.values())
     k = list(d1.keys())
     return k[v.index(max(v))]
    
def f2():
    d3 = {v: k for k,v in d1.items()}
    return d3[max(d3)]
    
def f3():
    return list(filter(lambda t: t[1] == max(d1.values()), d1.items()))[0][0]    
    
def f3b():
    # same as f3 but remove the call to max from the lambda
    m = max(d1.values())
    return list(filter(lambda t: t[1] == m, d1.items()))[0][0]        
    
def f4():
    return [k for k, v in d1.items() if v == max(d1.values())][0]    
    
def f4b():
    # same as f4 but remove the max from the comprehension
    m = max(d1.values())
    return [k for k,v in d1.items() if v == m][0]        
    
def f5():
    return max(d1.items(), key=operator.itemgetter(1))[0]    
    
def f6():
    return max(d1, key=d1.get)     
    
def f7():
     """ a) create a list of the dict's keys and values; 
         b) return the key with the max value"""    
     v = list(d1.values())
     return list(d1.keys())[v.index(max(v))]    
     
def f8():
     return max(d1, key=lambda k: d1[k])     
     
tl = [f1, f2, f3b, f4b, f5, f6, f7, f8, f4, f3]     
cmpthese.cmpthese(tl, c=100)

你可以看到f1在Python 3.2和2.7下是最快的(或者，更完整地说，在本文顶部的keywithmaxval)

我对这些答案都不满意。Max总是选择第一个具有Max值的键。字典可以有多个具有该值的键。

def keys_with_top_values(my_dict):
    return [key  for (key, value) in my_dict.items() if value == max(my_dict.values())]

把这个答案贴出来，希望能帮助到别人。 请看下面的SO帖子

在平局的情况下，Python会选择哪个最大值?

d = {'A': 4,'B':10}

min_v = min(zip(d.values(), d.keys()))
# min_v is (4,'A')

max_v = max(zip(d.values(), d.keys()))
# max_v is (10,'B')
