反向函数在这里很方便:

myArray = [1,2,3,4]
myArray.reverse()
for x in myArray:
    print x

你也可以使用while循环:

i = len(collection)-1
while i>=0:
    value = collection[i]
    index = i
    i-=1

如果不重新创建一个新列表，你可以通过索引:

>>> foo = ['1a','2b','3c','4d']
>>> for i in range(len(foo)):
...     print foo[-(i+1)]
...
4d
3c
2b
1a
>>>

OR

>>> length = len(foo)
>>> for i in range(length):
...     print foo[length-i-1]
...
4d
3c
2b
1a
>>>

你可以:

for item in my_list[::-1]:
    print item

(或者你想在for循环中做的任何事情。)

[::-1]片在for循环中反转列表(但实际上不会“永久”修改列表)。

假设任务是在列表中找到最后一个满足某些条件的元素(即向后看时的第一个元素)，我得到以下数字。

Python 2:

>>> min(timeit.repeat('for i in xrange(len(xs)-1,-1,-1):\n    if 128 == xs[i]: break', setup='xs, n = range(256), 0', repeat=8))
4.6937971115112305
>>> min(timeit.repeat('for i in reversed(xrange(0, len(xs))):\n    if 128 == xs[i]: break', setup='xs, n = range(256), 0', repeat=8))
4.809093952178955
>>> min(timeit.repeat('for i, x in enumerate(reversed(xs), 1):\n    if 128 == x: break', setup='xs, n = range(256), 0', repeat=8))
4.931743860244751
>>> min(timeit.repeat('for i, x in enumerate(xs[::-1]):\n    if 128 == x: break', setup='xs, n = range(256), 0', repeat=8))
5.548468112945557
>>> min(timeit.repeat('for i in xrange(len(xs), 0, -1):\n    if 128 == xs[i - 1]: break', setup='xs, n = range(256), 0', repeat=8))
6.286104917526245
>>> min(timeit.repeat('i = len(xs)\nwhile 0 < i:\n    i -= 1\n    if 128 == xs[i]: break', setup='xs, n = range(256), 0', repeat=8))
8.384078979492188

所以，最丑的选项xrange(len(xs)-1，-1，-1)是最快的。

Python 3(不同机器):

>>> timeit.timeit('for i in range(len(xs)-1,-1,-1):\n    if 128 == xs[i]: break', setup='xs, n = range(256), 0', number=400000)
4.48873088900001
>>> timeit.timeit('for i in reversed(range(0, len(xs))):\n    if 128 == xs[i]: break', setup='xs, n = range(256), 0', number=400000)
4.540959084000008
>>> timeit.timeit('for i, x in enumerate(reversed(xs), 1):\n    if 128 == x: break', setup='xs, n = range(256), 0', number=400000)
1.9069805409999958
>>> timeit.timeit('for i, x in enumerate(xs[::-1]):\n    if 128 == x: break', setup='xs, n = range(256), 0', number=400000)
2.960720073999994
>>> timeit.timeit('for i in range(len(xs), 0, -1):\n    if 128 == xs[i - 1]: break', setup='xs, n = range(256), 0', number=400000)
5.316207007999992
>>> timeit.timeit('i = len(xs)\nwhile 0 < i:\n    i -= 1\n    if 128 == xs[i]: break', setup='xs, n = range(256), 0', number=400000)
5.802550058999998

这里，enumerate(reversed(xs)， 1)是最快的。

此外，您可以使用“range”或“count”函数。 如下:

a = ["foo", "bar", "baz"]
for i in range(len(a)-1, -1, -1):
    print(i, a[i])

3 baz
2 bar
1 foo

你也可以使用itertools中的"count"，如下所示:

a = ["foo", "bar", "baz"]
from itertools import count, takewhile

def larger_than_0(x):
    return x > 0

for x in takewhile(larger_than_0, count(3, -1)):
    print(x, a[x-1])

3 baz
2 bar
1 foo
