我有一本嵌套的字典。是否只有一种方法可以安全地传递价值观?

try:
    example_dict['key1']['key2']
except KeyError:
    pass

或者python有一个类似get()的方法用于嵌套字典?

我的实现下降到子字典,忽略None值,但失败与TypeError如果发现任何其他

def deep_get(d: dict, *keys, default=None):
    """ Safely get a nested value from a dict

    Example:
        config = {'device': None}
        deep_get(config, 'device', 'settings', 'light')
        # -> None
        
    Example:
        config = {'device': True}
        deep_get(config, 'device', 'settings', 'light')
        # -> TypeError

    Example:
        config = {'device': {'settings': {'light': 'bright'}}}
        deep_get(config, 'device', 'settings', 'light')
        # -> 'light'

    Note that it returns `default` is a key is missing or when it's None.
    It will raise a TypeError if a value is anything else but a dict or None.
    
    Args:
        d: The dict to descend into

    try:

            d = d[k]
    # If at any step a key is missing, return default
    except KeyError:
        return default
    # If at any step the value is not a dict...
    except TypeError:
        # ... if it's a None, return default. Assume it would be a dict.
        if d is None:
            return default
        # ... if it's something else, raise

    # If the value was found, return it
    else:
        return d

虽然reduce方法简洁而简短,但我认为简单的循环更容易理解。我还包含了一个默认参数。

def deep_get(_dict, keys, default=None):
    for key in keys:
        if isinstance(_dict, dict):
            _dict = _dict.get(key, default)
        else:
            return default
    return _dict

作为理解reduce一行程序如何工作的练习,我执行了以下操作。但最终循环方法对我来说似乎更直观。

def deep_get(_dict, keys, default=None):

    def _reducer(d, key):
        if isinstance(d, dict):
            return d.get(key, default)
        return default

    return reduce(_reducer, keys, _dict)

使用

nested = {'a': {'b': {'c': 42}}}

print deep_get(nested, ['a', 'b'])
print deep_get(nested, ['a', 'b', 'z', 'z'], default='missing')

已经有很多很好的答案,但我已经提出了一个类似于JavaScript领域的lodash get的函数,它也支持通过索引进入列表:

def get(value, keys, default_value = None):
'''
    Useful for reaching into nested JSON like data
    Inspired by JavaScript lodash get and Clojure get-in etc.
'''
  if value is None or keys is None:
      return None
  path = keys.split('.') if isinstance(keys, str) else keys
  result = value
  def valid_index(key):
      return re.match('^([1-9][0-9]*|[0-9])$', key) and int(key) >= 0
  def is_dict_like(v):
      return hasattr(v, '__getitem__') and hasattr(v, '__contains__')
  for key in path:
      if isinstance(result, list) and valid_index(key) and int(key) < len(result):
          result = result[int(key)] if int(key) < len(result) else None
      elif is_dict_like(result) and key in result:
          result = result[key]
      else:
          result = default_value
          break
  return result

def test_get():
  assert get(None, ['foo']) == None
  assert get({'foo': 1}, None) == None
  assert get(None, None) == None
  assert get({'foo': 1}, []) == {'foo': 1}
  assert get({'foo': 1}, ['foo']) == 1
  assert get({'foo': 1}, ['bar']) == None
  assert get({'foo': 1}, ['bar'], 'the default') == 'the default'
  assert get({'foo': {'bar': 'hello'}}, ['foo', 'bar']) == 'hello'
  assert get({'foo': {'bar': 'hello'}}, 'foo.bar') == 'hello'
  assert get({'foo': [{'bar': 'hello'}]}, 'foo.0.bar') == 'hello'
  assert get({'foo': [{'bar': 'hello'}]}, 'foo.1') == None
  assert get({'foo': [{'bar': 'hello'}]}, 'foo.1.bar') == None
  assert get(['foo', 'bar'], '1') == 'bar'
  assert get(['foo', 'bar'], '2') == None

你可以使用get两次:

example_dict.get('key1', {}).get('key2')

如果key1或key2不存在,则返回None。

注意,如果example_dict['key1']存在但不是dict(或具有get方法的类dict对象),仍然可能引发AttributeError。如果example_dict['key1']不可下标,你发布的try..except代码将引发TypeError。

另一个区别是try…除非在第一次丢失钥匙后立即发生短路。get调用链则不然。


如果您希望保留语法example_dict['key1']['key2'],但不希望它引发KeyErrors,那么您可以使用哈希recipe:

class Hasher(dict):
    # https://stackoverflow.com/a/3405143/190597
    def __missing__(self, key):
        value = self[key] = type(self)()
        return value

example_dict = Hasher()
print(example_dict['key1'])
# {}
print(example_dict['key1']['key2'])
# {}
print(type(example_dict['key1']['key2']))
# <class '__main__.Hasher'>

注意,当缺少一个键时,返回一个空的hash。

因为Hasher是dict的一个子类,你可以像使用dict一样使用Hasher。所有相同的方法和语法都是可用的,哈希器只是以不同的方式对待缺失的键。

你可以像这样把一个普通字典转换成哈希:

hasher = Hasher(example_dict)

并将哈希转换为普通字典一样容易:

regular_dict = dict(hasher)

另一种选择是在helper函数中隐藏丑陋的代码:

def safeget(dct, *keys):
    for key in keys:
        try:
            dct = dct[key]
        except KeyError:
            return None
    return dct

这样你剩下的代码就可以保持相对的可读性:

safeget(example_dict, 'key1', 'key2')

减少方法的改进很少,使其与列表一起工作。也使用数据路径作为字符串除以点,而不是数组。

def deep_get(dictionary, path):
    keys = path.split('.')
    return reduce(lambda d, key: d[int(key)] if isinstance(d, list) else d.get(key) if d else None, keys, dictionary)
