你需要从内置的shlex模块中分离。

>>> import shlex
>>> shlex.split('this is "a test"')
['this', 'is', 'a test']

这应该是你想要的效果。

如果你想保留引号，那么你可以传递posix=False kwarg。

>>> shlex.split('this is "a test"', posix=False)
['this', 'is', '"a test"']

看一下shlex模块，特别是shlex.split。

>>> import shlex
>>> shlex.split('This is "a test"')
['This', 'is', 'a test']

试试这个:

  def adamsplit(s):
    result = []
    inquotes = False
    for substring in s.split('"'):
      if not inquotes:
        result.extend(substring.split())
      else:
        result.append(substring)
      inquotes = not inquotes
    return result

一些测试字符串:

'This is "a test"' -> ['This', 'is', 'a test']
'"This is \'a test\'"' -> ["This is 'a test'"]

如果你不关心子字符串

>>> 'a short sized string with spaces '.split()

性能:

>>> s = " ('a short sized string with spaces '*100).split() "
>>> t = timeit.Timer(stmt=s)
>>> print "%.2f usec/pass" % (1000000 * t.timeit(number=100000)/100000)
171.39 usec/pass

或者字符串模块

>>> from string import split as stringsplit; 
>>> stringsplit('a short sized string with spaces '*100)

性能:String模块的性能似乎比字符串方法更好

>>> s = "stringsplit('a short sized string with spaces '*100)"
>>> t = timeit.Timer(s, "from string import split as stringsplit")
>>> print "%.2f usec/pass" % (1000000 * t.timeit(number=100000)/100000)
154.88 usec/pass

或者你可以使用RE引擎

>>> from re import split as resplit
>>> regex = '\s+'
>>> medstring = 'a short sized string with spaces '*100
>>> resplit(regex, medstring)

性能

>>> s = "resplit(regex, medstring)"
>>> t = timeit.Timer(s, "from re import split as resplit; regex='\s+'; medstring='a short sized string with spaces '*100")
>>> print "%.2f usec/pass" % (1000000 * t.timeit(number=100000)/100000)
540.21 usec/pass

对于非常长的字符串，您不应该将整个字符串加载到内存中，而是将行分开或使用迭代循环

由于这个问题带有正则表达式，我决定尝试正则表达式方法。我首先将引号部分中的所有空格替换为\x00，然后按空格分割，然后将\x00替换回每个部分中的空格。

这两个版本都做同样的事情，但是splitter比splitter2更具可读性。

import re

s = 'this is "a test" some text "another test"'

def splitter(s):
    def replacer(m):
        return m.group(0).replace(" ", "\x00")
    parts = re.sub('".+?"', replacer, s).split()
    parts = [p.replace("\x00", " ") for p in parts]
    return parts

def splitter2(s):
    return [p.replace("\x00", " ") for p in re.sub('".+?"', lambda m: m.group(0).replace(" ", "\x00"), s).split()]

print splitter2(s)

我看到这里的正则表达式方法看起来很复杂和/或错误。这让我很惊讶，因为正则表达式语法可以很容易地描述“空格或引号包围的东西”，而且大多数正则表达式引擎(包括Python的)都可以在正则表达式上进行拆分。所以如果你要使用正则表达式，为什么不直接说出你的意思呢?：

test = 'this is "a test"'  # or "this is 'a test'"
# pieces = [p for p in re.split("( |[\\\"'].*[\\\"'])", test) if p.strip()]
# From comments, use this:
pieces = [p for p in re.split("( |\\\".*?\\\"|'.*?')", test) if p.strip()]

解释:

[\\\"'] = double-quote or single-quote
.* = anything
( |X) = space or X
.strip() = remove space and empty-string separators

不过，Shlex可能提供更多的特性。

根据你的用例，你可能还想检查csv模块:

import csv
lines = ['this is "a string"', 'and more "stuff"']
for row in csv.reader(lines, delimiter=" "):
    print(row)

输出:

['this', 'is', 'a string']
['and', 'more', 'stuff']

嗯，好像找不到“回复”按钮了…不管怎样，这个答案是基于Kate的方法，但正确地分割了包含转义引号的子字符串，并删除了子字符串的开始和结束引号:

  [i.strip('"').strip("'") for i in re.split(r'(\s+|(?<!\\)".*?(?<!\\)"|(?<!\\)\'.*?(?<!\\)\')', string) if i.strip()]

这适用于'这是' a \\\"test\\\"\\\'s子字符串' '这样的字符串(不幸的是，为了防止Python删除转义，这个疯狂的标记是必要的)。

如果返回列表中的字符串不需要转义，您可以使用稍微修改过的函数版本:

[i.strip('"').strip("'").decode('string_escape') for i in re.split(r'(\s+|(?<!\\)".*?(?<!\\)"|(?<!\\)\'.*?(?<!\\)\')', string) if i.strip()]

要解决某些Python 2版本中的unicode问题，我建议:

from shlex import split as _split
split = lambda a: [b.decode('utf-8') for b in _split(a.encode('utf-8'))]

我用shlex。拆分来处理七千万行鱿鱼日志，太慢了。所以我换成了re。

请尝试这个，如果你有性能问题与shlex。

import re

def line_split(line):
    return re.findall(r'[^"\s]\S*|".+?"', line)

我建议:

测试字符串:

s = 'abc "ad" \'fg\' "kk\'rdt\'" zzz"34"zzz "" \'\''

也要捕捉""和":

import re
re.findall(r'"[^"]*"|\'[^\']*\'|[^"\'\s]+',s)

结果:

['abc', '"ad"', "'fg'", '"kk\'rdt\'"', 'zzz', '"34"', 'zzz', '""', "''"]

忽略空的""和":

import re
re.findall(r'"[^"]+"|\'[^\']+\'|[^"\'\s]+',s)

结果:

['abc', '"ad"', "'fg'", '"kk\'rdt\'"', 'zzz', '"34"', 'zzz']

要保留引号，使用这个函数:

def getArgs(s):
    args = []
    cur = ''
    inQuotes = 0
    for char in s.strip():
        if char == ' ' and not inQuotes:
            args.append(cur)
            cur = ''
        elif char == '"' and not inQuotes:
            inQuotes = 1
            cur += char
        elif char == '"' and inQuotes:
            inQuotes = 0
            cur += char
        else:
            cur += char
    args.append(cur)
    return args

不同答案的速度测试:

import re
import shlex
import csv

line = 'this is "a test"'

%timeit [p for p in re.split("( |\\\".*?\\\"|'.*?')", line) if p.strip()]
100000 loops, best of 3: 5.17 µs per loop

%timeit re.findall(r'[^"\s]\S*|".+?"', line)
100000 loops, best of 3: 2.88 µs per loop

%timeit list(csv.reader([line], delimiter=" "))
The slowest run took 9.62 times longer than the fastest. This could mean that an intermediate result is being cached.
100000 loops, best of 3: 2.4 µs per loop

%timeit shlex.split(line)
10000 loops, best of 3: 50.2 µs per loop

被接受的shlex方法的主要问题是它不会忽略带引号的子字符串外的转义字符，并且在某些极端情况下会给出稍微出乎意料的结果。

我有下面的用例，其中我需要一个split函数来分割输入字符串，以便保留单引号或双引号子字符串，并能够在这样的子字符串中转义引号。未加引号的字符串中的引号不应与任何其他字符区别对待。一些带有预期输出的示例测试用例:

 input string        | expected output
===============================================
 'abc def'           | ['abc', 'def']
 "abc \\s def"       | ['abc', '\\s', 'def']
 '"abc def" ghi'     | ['abc def', 'ghi']
 "'abc def' ghi"     | ['abc def', 'ghi']
 '"abc \\" def" ghi' | ['abc " def', 'ghi']
 "'abc \\' def' ghi" | ["abc ' def", 'ghi']
 "'abc \\s def' ghi" | ['abc \\s def', 'ghi']
 '"abc \\s def" ghi' | ['abc \\s def', 'ghi']
 '"" test'           | ['', 'test']
 "'' test"           | ['', 'test']
 "abc'def"           | ["abc'def"]
 "abc'def'"          | ["abc'def'"]
 "abc'def' ghi"      | ["abc'def'", 'ghi']
 "abc'def'ghi"       | ["abc'def'ghi"]
 'abc"def'           | ['abc"def']
 'abc"def"'          | ['abc"def"']
 'abc"def" ghi'      | ['abc"def"', 'ghi']
 'abc"def"ghi'       | ['abc"def"ghi']
 "r'AA' r'.*_xyz$'"  | ["r'AA'", "r'.*_xyz$'"]
 'abc"def ghi"'      | ['abc"def ghi"']
 'abc"def ghi""jkl"' | ['abc"def ghi""jkl"']
 'a"b c"d"e"f"g h"'  | ['a"b c"d"e"f"g h"']
 'c="ls /" type key' | ['c="ls /"', 'type', 'key']
 "abc'def ghi'"      | ["abc'def ghi'"]
 "c='ls /' type key" | ["c='ls /'", 'type', 'key']

我最终使用以下函数来分割字符串，以便所有输入字符串的预期输出结果:

import re

def quoted_split(s):
    def strip_quotes(s):
        if s and (s[0] == '"' or s[0] == "'") and s[0] == s[-1]:
            return s[1:-1]
        return s
    return [strip_quotes(p).replace('\\"', '"').replace("\\'", "'") \
            for p in re.findall(r'(?:[^"\s]*"(?:\\.|[^"])*"[^"\s]*)+|(?:[^\'\s]*\'(?:\\.|[^\'])*\'[^\'\s]*)+|[^\s]+', s)]

这可不漂亮;但它确实有效。下面的测试应用程序检查其他方法(目前是shlex和csv)和自定义分割实现的结果:

shlex: 0.335ms per iteration
csv: 0.036ms per iteration
re: 0.068ms per iteration

因此，性能比shlex好得多，并且可以通过预编译正则表达式进一步提高，在这种情况下，它将优于csv方法。

由于性能原因，re似乎更快。下面是我的解决方案，使用最小贪婪操作符，保留外部引号:

re.findall("(?:\".*?\"|\S)+", s)

结果:

['this', 'is', '"a test"']

它将像aaa“bla blub”bbb这样的结构放在一起，因为这些标记没有被空格分隔。如果字符串包含转义字符，你可以这样匹配:

>>> a = "She said \"He said, \\\"My name is Mark.\\\"\""
>>> a
'She said "He said, \\"My name is Mark.\\""'
>>> for i in re.findall("(?:\".*?[^\\\\]\"|\S)+", a): print(i)
...
She
said
"He said, \"My name is Mark.\""

请注意，这也通过模式的\S部分来匹配空字符串“”。

作为一个选项，尝试tssplit:

In [1]: from tssplit import tssplit
In [2]: tssplit('this is "a test"', quote='"', delimiter='')
Out[2]: ['this', 'is', 'a test']
