我在这个游戏中有点晚了，但你可以做一个性能的比较，上面提到的一些代码和这个，两个最快的竞争者是，

list(set(x).symmetric_difference(set(y)))
list(set(x) ^ set(y))

我为我的初级编码水平道歉。

import time
import random
from itertools import filterfalse

# 1 - performance (time taken)
# 2 - correctness (answer - 1,4,5,6)
# set performance
performance = 1
numberoftests = 7

def answer(x,y,z):
    if z == 0:
        start = time.clock()
        lists = (str(list(set(x)-set(y))+list(set(y)-set(y))))
        times = ("1 = " + str(time.clock() - start))
        return (lists,times)

    elif z == 1:
        start = time.clock()
        lists = (str(list(set(x).symmetric_difference(set(y)))))
        times = ("2 = " + str(time.clock() - start))
        return (lists,times)

    elif z == 2:
        start = time.clock()
        lists = (str(list(set(x) ^ set(y))))
        times = ("3 = " + str(time.clock() - start))
        return (lists,times)

    elif z == 3:
        start = time.clock()
        lists = (filterfalse(set(y).__contains__, x))
        times = ("4 = " + str(time.clock() - start))
        return (lists,times)

    elif z == 4:
        start = time.clock()
        lists = (tuple(set(x) - set(y)))
        times = ("5 = " + str(time.clock() - start))
        return (lists,times)

    elif z == 5:
        start = time.clock()
        lists = ([tt for tt in x if tt not in y])
        times = ("6 = " + str(time.clock() - start))
        return (lists,times)

    else:    
        start = time.clock()
        Xarray = [iDa for iDa in x if iDa not in y]
        Yarray = [iDb for iDb in y if iDb not in x]
        lists = (str(Xarray + Yarray))
        times = ("7 = " + str(time.clock() - start))
        return (lists,times)

n = numberoftests

if performance == 2:
    a = [1,2,3,4,5]
    b = [3,2,6]
    for c in range(0,n):
        d = answer(a,b,c)
        print(d[0])

elif performance == 1:
    for tests in range(0,10):
        print("Test Number" + str(tests + 1))
        a = random.sample(range(1, 900000), 9999)
        b = random.sample(range(1, 900000), 9999)
        for c in range(0,n):
            #if c not in (1,4,5,6):
            d = answer(a,b,c)
            print(d[1])

这里有一个最简单情况的反答案。

这比上面那个做双向差分的要短，因为它只做了问题要求的事情:生成第一个列表中的东西的列表，而不是第二个列表中的东西。

from collections import Counter

lst1 = ['One', 'Two', 'Three', 'Four']
lst2 = ['One', 'Two']

c1 = Counter(lst1)
c2 = Counter(lst2)
diff = list((c1 - c2).elements())

或者，根据你的可读性偏好，它可以是一个不错的单行代码:

diff = list((Counter(lst1) - Counter(lst2)).elements())

输出:

['Three', 'Four']

请注意，如果您只是对其进行迭代，则可以删除list(…)调用。

因为这个解决方案使用计数器，所以相对于许多基于集合的答案，它可以正确地处理数量。例如，在这个输入中:

lst1 = ['One', 'Two', 'Two', 'Two', 'Three', 'Three', 'Four']
lst2 = ['One', 'Two']

输出结果为:

['Two', 'Two', 'Three', 'Three', 'Four']

以下是@SuperNova的回答的修改版本

def get_diff(a: list, b: list) -> list:
    return list(set(a) ^ set(b))

你可以使用列表推导式:

temp3 = [item for item in temp1 if item not in temp2]

假设我们有两个列表

list1 = [1, 3, 5, 7, 9]
list2 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

从上面两个列表中我们可以看到，list2中有第1、3、5项，而第7、9项不存在。另一方面，第1、3、5项在list1中存在，第2、4项不存在。

返回包含项目7,9和2,4的新列表的最佳解决方案是什么?

以上所有答案都找到了解，现在什么是最优的?

def difference(list1, list2):
    new_list = []
    for i in list1:
        if i not in list2:
            new_list.append(i)

    for j in list2:
        if j not in list1:
            new_list.append(j)
    return new_list

与

def sym_diff(list1, list2):
    return list(set(list1).symmetric_difference(set(list2)))

利用时间，我们可以看到结果

t1 = timeit.Timer("difference(list1, list2)", "from __main__ import difference, 
list1, list2")
t2 = timeit.Timer("sym_diff(list1, list2)", "from __main__ import sym_diff, 
list1, list2")

print('Using two for loops', t1.timeit(number=100000), 'Milliseconds')
print('Using two for loops', t2.timeit(number=100000), 'Milliseconds')

返回

[7, 9, 2, 4]
Using two for loops 0.11572412995155901 Milliseconds
Using symmetric_difference 0.11285737506113946 Milliseconds

Process finished with exit code 0

您可以循环遍历第一个列表，对于不在第二个列表中但在第一个列表中的每一项，将其添加到第三个列表中。例句:

temp3 = []
for i in temp1:
    if i not in temp2:
        temp3.append(i)
print(temp3)
