我想到的最简单的解决办法是:

for item in data_list:
    try:
        print(new)
    except NameError: pass
    new = item
print('The last item: ' + str(new))

所以我们总是通过延迟处理一个迭代来提前一个项目。为了在第一次迭代中跳过某些操作，我只需捕获错误。

当然，您需要考虑一下，以便在需要时引发NameError。

还要保留“counstruct”

try:
    new
except NameError: pass
else:
    # continue here if no error was raised

这依赖于之前没有定义名称new。如果你是偏执狂，你可以确保new不存在，使用:

try:
    del new
except NameError:
    pass

当然，你也可以使用if语句(if notfirst: print(new) else: notfirst = True)。但据我所知，开销更大。

Using `timeit` yields:

    ...: try: new = 'test' 
    ...: except NameError: pass
    ...: 
100000000 loops, best of 3: 16.2 ns per loop

所以我认为开销是不可能当选的。

这类似于Ants Aasma的方法，但没有使用itertools模块。它也是一个滞后迭代器，它可以提前查找迭代器流中的单个元素:

def last_iter(it):
    # Ensure it's an iterator and get the first field
    it = iter(it)
    prev = next(it)
    for item in it:
        # Lag by one item so I know I'm not at the end
        yield 0, prev
        prev = item
    # Last item
    yield 1, prev

def test(data):
    result = list(last_iter(data))
    if not result:
        return
    if len(result) > 1:
        assert set(x[0] for x in result[:-1]) == set([0]), result
    assert result[-1][0] == 1

test([])
test([1])
test([1, 2])
test(range(5))
test(xrange(4))

for is_last, item in last_iter("Hi!"):
    print is_last, item

您可以在输入数据上使用滑动窗口来查看下一个值，并使用哨兵来检测最后一个值。这适用于任何可迭代对象，所以你不需要事先知道它的长度。成对实现来自itertools recipes。

from itertools import tee, izip, chain

def pairwise(seq):
    a,b = tee(seq)
    next(b, None)
    return izip(a,b)

def annotated_last(seq):
    """Returns an iterable of pairs of input item and a boolean that show if
    the current item is the last item in the sequence."""
    MISSING = object()
    for current_item, next_item in pairwise(chain(seq, [MISSING])):
        yield current_item, next_item is MISSING:

for item, is_last_item in annotated_last(data_list):
    if is_last_item:
        # current item is the last item

除了向上数，你也可以向下数:

  nrToProcess = len(list)
  for s in list:
    s.doStuff()
    nrToProcess -= 1
    if nrToProcess==0:  # this is the last one
      s.doSpecialStuff()

大多数情况下，让第一次迭代成为特殊情况比最后一次迭代更容易(也更便宜):

first = True
for data in data_list:
    if first:
        first = False
    else:
        between_items()

    item()

这将适用于任何迭代对象，即使是那些没有len()的迭代对象:

file = open('/path/to/file')
for line in file:
    process_line(line)

    # No way of telling if this is the last line!

除此之外，我不认为有更好的解决方案，因为这取决于你想要做什么。例如，如果您正在从列表中构建字符串，那么使用str.join()自然比使用“带有特殊情况”的For循环更好。

使用相同的原理，但更紧凑:

for i, line in enumerate(data_list):
    if i > 0:
        between_items()
    item()

看起来很眼熟，不是吗?：）

对于@ofko，以及其他真正需要找出不带len()的可迭代对象的当前值是否为最后一个值的人，你需要向前看:

def lookahead(iterable):
    """Pass through all values from the given iterable, augmented by the
    information if there are more values to come after the current one
    (True), or if it is the last value (False).
    """
    # Get an iterator and pull the first value.
    it = iter(iterable)
    last = next(it)
    # Run the iterator to exhaustion (starting from the second value).
    for val in it:
        # Report the *previous* value (more to come).
        yield last, True
        last = val
    # Report the last value.
    yield last, False

然后你可以这样使用它:

>>> for i, has_more in lookahead(range(3)):
...     print(i, has_more)
0 True
1 True
2 False

我想到的一个简单的解决办法是:

for i in MyList:
    # Check if 'i' is the last element in the list
    if i == MyList[-1]:
        # Do something different for the last
    else:
        # Do something for all other elements

第二个同样简单的解决方法是使用计数器:

# Count the no. of elements in the list
ListLength = len(MyList)
# Initialize a counter
count = 0

for i in MyList:
    # increment counter
    count += 1
    # Check if 'i' is the last element in the list
    # by using the counter
    if count == ListLength:
        # Do something different for the last
    else:
        # Do something for all other elements
