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()

数一次项目，并跟上剩余项目的数量:

remaining = len(data_list)
for data in data_list:
    code_that_is_done_for_every_element

    remaining -= 1
    if remaining:
        code_that_is_done_between_elements

这种方法只计算一次列表的长度。本页上的许多解决方案似乎都假定长度是预先不可用的，但这不是您的问题的一部分。如果你有长度，就用它。

假设input是一个迭代器，下面是使用itertools中的tee和izip的方法:

from itertools import tee, izip
items, between = tee(input_iterator, 2)  # Input must be an iterator.
first = items.next()
do_to_every_item(first)  # All "do to every" operations done to first item go here.
for i, b in izip(items, between):
    do_between_items(b)  # All "between" operations go here.
    do_to_every_item(i)  # All "do to every" operations go here.

演示:

>>> def do_every(x): print "E", x
...
>>> def do_between(x): print "B", x
...
>>> test_input = iter(range(5))
>>>
>>> from itertools import tee, izip
>>>
>>> items, between = tee(test_input, 2)
>>> first = items.next()
>>> do_every(first)
E 0
>>> for i,b in izip(items, between):
...     do_between(b)
...     do_every(i)
...
B 0
E 1
B 1
E 2
B 2
E 3
B 3
E 4
>>>

你可以用下面的代码确定最后一个元素:

for i,element in enumerate(list):
    if (i==len(list)-1):
        print("last element is" + element)

我只是遇到了这个问题，我的通用解决方案使用迭代器:

from typing import TypeVar, Iterable
E = TypeVar('E')

def metait(i: Iterable[E]) -> Iterable[tuple[E, bool, bool]]:

    first = True
    previous = None
    for elem in i:
        if previous:
            yield previous, first, False
            first = False
        previous = elem

    if previous:
        yield previous, first, True

您将收到一个元组，其中包含第一项和最后一项的原始元素和标志。它可以用于每个可迭代对象:

d = {'a': (1,2,3), 'b': (4,5,6), 'c': (7,8,9)}

for (k,v), is_first, is_last in metait(d.items()):
    print(f'{k}: {v}  {is_first} {is_last}')

这将给你:

a: (1, 2, 3)  True False
b: (4, 5, 6)  False False
c: (7, 8, 9)  False True

因此，这绝对不是“更短”的版本——如果“最短”和“Pythonic”实际上是兼容的，人们可能会离题。

但如果经常需要这种模式，就把逻辑放到a中 10行生成器-并获得与元素相关的任何元数据 在for调用中直接定位。这里的另一个优势是它会 适用于任意可迭代对象，而不仅仅是序列。

_sentinel = object()

def iter_check_last(iterable):
    iterable = iter(iterable)
    current_element = next(iterable, _sentinel)
    while current_element is not _sentinel:
        next_element = next(iterable, _sentinel)
        yield (next_element is _sentinel, current_element)
        current_element = next_element

In [107]: for is_last, el in iter_check_last(range(3)):
     ...:     print(is_last, el)
     ...: 
     ...: 
False 0
False 1
True 2
