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?


当前回答

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
        keys: A sequence of keys to follow
        default: Custom default value
    """
    # Descend while we can
    try:
        for k in keys:
            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
        else:
            raise
    # If the value was found, return it
    else:
        return d

根据Yoav的回答,一个更安全的方法是:

def deep_get(dictionary, *keys):
    return reduce(lambda d, key: d.get(key, None) if isinstance(d, dict) else None, keys, dictionary)

一个简单的类,可以包装字典,并根据键进行检索:

class FindKey(dict):
    def get(self, path, default=None):
        keys = path.split(".")
        val = None

        for key in keys:
            if val:
                if isinstance(val, list):
                    val = [v.get(key, default) if v else None for v in val]
                else:
                    val = val.get(key, default)
            else:
                val = dict.get(self, key, default)

            if not val:
                break

        return val

例如:

person = {'person':{'name':{'first':'John'}}}
FindDict(person).get('person.name.first') # == 'John'

如果该键不存在,则默认返回None。你可以在FindDict包装器中使用default=键覆盖它,例如':

FindDict(person, default='').get('person.name.last') # == doesn't exist, so ''

我改编了GenesRus和unutbu的答案,非常简单:

class new_dict(dict):
    def deep_get(self, *args, default=None):
        _empty_dict = {}
        out = self
        for key in args:
            out = out.get(key, _empty_dict)
        return out if out else default

它适用于:

d = new_dict(some_data)
d.deep_get("key1", "key2", "key3", ..., default=some_value)

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')

还有一个相同功能的函数,也返回一个布尔值来表示是否找到键,并处理一些意想不到的错误。

'''
json : json to extract value from if exists
path : details.detail.first_name
            empty path represents root

returns a tuple (boolean, object)
        boolean : True if path exists, otherwise False
        object : the object if path exists otherwise None

'''
def get_json_value_at_path(json, path=None, default=None):

    if not bool(path):
        return True, json
    if type(json) is not dict :
        raise ValueError(f'json={json}, path={path} not supported, json must be a dict')
    if type(path) is not str and type(path) is not list:
        raise ValueError(f'path format {path} not supported, path can be a list of strings like [x,y,z] or a string like x.y.z')

    if type(path) is str:
        path = path.strip('.').split('.')
    key = path[0]
    if key in json.keys():
        return get_json_value_at_path(json[key], path[1:], default)
    else:
        return False, default

使用示例:

my_json = {'details' : {'first_name' : 'holla', 'last_name' : 'holla'}}
print(get_json_value_at_path(my_json, 'details.first_name', ''))
print(get_json_value_at_path(my_json, 'details.phone', ''))
