函数对于list类型的值是对称的;执行reverse_dict(reverse_dict(dictionary))时，元组被转换为列表

def reverse_dict(dictionary):
    reverse_dict = {}
    for key, value in dictionary.iteritems():
        if not isinstance(value, (list, tuple)):
            value = [value]
        for val in value:
            reverse_dict[val] = reverse_dict.get(val, [])
            reverse_dict[val].append(key)
    for key, value in reverse_dict.iteritems():
        if len(value) == 1:
            reverse_dict[key] = value[0]
    return reverse_dict

Python 3 +:

inv_map = {v: k for k, v in my_map.items()}

Python 2:

inv_map = {v: k for k, v in my_map.iteritems()}

例如，你有以下字典:

my_dict = {'a': 'fire', 'b': 'ice', 'c': 'fire', 'd': 'water'}

你想要得到这样一个倒立的形式

inverted_dict = {'fire': ['a', 'c'], 'ice': ['b'], 'water': ['d']}

第一个解决方案。要在字典中反转键值对，请使用For循环方法:

# Use this code to invert dictionaries that have non-unique values

inverted_dict = dict()
for key, value in my_dict.items():
    inverted_dict.setdefault(value, list()).append(key)

第二个解决方案。使用字典理解方法进行反转:

# Use this code to invert dictionaries that have unique values

inverted_dict = {value: key for key, value in my_dict.items()}

第三个解决方案。使用反转方法(依赖于第二个解决方案):

# Use this code to invert dictionaries that have lists of values

my_dict = {value: key for key in inverted_dict for value in my_map[key]}

如果值不是唯一的并且可能是一个哈希(一维):

for k, v in myDict.items():
    if len(v) > 1:
        for item in v:
            invDict[item] = invDict.get(item, [])
            invDict[item].append(k)
    else:
        invDict[v] = invDict.get(v, [])
        invDict[v].append(k)

对于递归，如果你需要深入挖掘，那么只需要一维:

def digList(lst):
    temp = []
    for item in lst:
        if type(item) is list:
            temp.append(digList(item))
        else:
            temp.append(item)
    return set(temp)

for k, v in myDict.items():
    if type(v) is list:
        items = digList(v)
        for item in items:
            invDict[item] = invDict.get(item, [])
            invDict[item].append(k)
    else:
        invDict[v] = invDict.get(v, [])
        invDict[v].append(k)

如果my_map中的值不是唯一的:

Python 3:

inv_map = {}
for k, v in my_map.items():
    inv_map[v] = inv_map.get(v, []) + [k]

Python 2:

inv_map = {}
for k, v in my_map.iteritems():
    inv_map[v] = inv_map.get(v, []) + [k]

字典值为集合的一种情况。如:

some_dict = {"1":{"a","b","c"},
        "2":{"d","e","f"},
        "3":{"g","h","i"}}

逆函数是:

some_dict = {vi: k  for k, v in some_dict.items() for vi in v}

输出如下:

{'c': '1',
 'b': '1',
 'a': '1',
 'f': '2',
 'd': '2',
 'e': '2',
 'g': '3',
 'h': '3',
 'i': '3'}
