保持简单:

def cool_sum(list: numbers):
    b = 0;
    for i in numbers:
        b += i
    return b;


a = [1, 2, 4]
print(cool_sum(a))

生成器是一种简单的编写方法:

from __future__ import division
# ^- so that 3/2 is 1.5 not 1

def averages( lst ):
    it = iter(lst) # Get a iterator over the list
    first = next(it)
    for item in it:
        yield (first+item)/2
        first = item

print list(averages(range(1,11)))
# [1.5, 2.5, 3.5, 4.5, 5.5, 6.5, 7.5, 8.5, 9.5]

使用成对的itertools食谱:

import itertools
def pairwise(iterable):
    "s -> (s0,s1), (s1,s2), (s2, s3), ..."
    a, b = itertools.tee(iterable)
    next(b, None)
    return itertools.izip(a, b)

def pair_averages(seq):
    return ( (a+b)/2 for a, b in pairwise(seq) )

一种简单的方法是使用iter_tools排列

# If you are given a list

numList = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7]

# and you are asked to find the number of three sums that add to a particular number

target = 10
# How you could come up with the answer?

from itertools import permutations

good_permutations = []

for p in permutations(numList, 3):
    if sum(p) == target:
        good_permutations.append(p)

print(good_permutations)

结果是:

[(1, 2, 7), (1, 3, 6), (1, 4, 5), (1, 5, 4), (1, 6, 3), (1, 7, 2), (2, 1, 7), (2, 3, 
5), (2, 5, 3), (2, 7, 1), (3, 1, 6), (3, 2, 5), (3, 5, 2), (3, 6, 1), (4, 1, 5), (4, 
5, 1), (5, 1, 4), (5, 2, 3), (5, 3, 2), (5, 4, 1), (6, 1, 3), (6, 3, 1), (7, 1, 2), 
(7, 2, 1)]

注意，顺序很重要——即1,2,7也表示为2,1,7和7,1,2。您可以通过使用集合来减少这种情况。

>>> a = range(10)
>>> sum(a)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: 'int' object is not callable
>>> del sum
>>> sum(a)
45

sum似乎已经在代码的某个地方定义了，并且覆盖了默认函数。所以我删除了它，问题解决了。

在Python 3.8中，可以使用新的赋值操作符

>>> my_list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
>>> itr = iter(my_list)
>>> a = next(itr)
>>> [(a + (a:=x))/2 for x in itr]
[1.5, 2.5, 3.5, 4.5]

A是对列表中前一个值的运行引用，因此它被初始化为列表的第一个元素，迭代发生在列表的其余部分，在每次迭代中使用后更新A。

显式迭代器用于避免使用my_list[1:]创建列表的副本。
