除了函数调用之外，*args和**kwargs在类层次结构中也很有用，并且还可以避免在Python中编写__init__方法。类似的用法可以在Django代码等框架中看到。

例如

def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
    for attribute_name, value in zip(self._expected_attributes, args):
        setattr(self, attribute_name, value)
        if kwargs.has_key(attribute_name):
            kwargs.pop(attribute_name)

    for attribute_name in kwargs.viewkeys():
        setattr(self, attribute_name, kwargs[attribute_name])

子类可以是

class RetailItem(Item):
    _expected_attributes = Item._expected_attributes + ['name', 'price', 'category', 'country_of_origin']

class FoodItem(RetailItem):
    _expected_attributes = RetailItem._expected_attributes +  ['expiry_date']

然后将子类实例化为

food_item = FoodItem(name = 'Jam', 
                     price = 12.0, 
                     category = 'Foods', 
                     country_of_origin = 'US', 
                     expiry_date = datetime.datetime.now())

此外，具有仅对该子类实例有意义的新属性的子类可以调用基类__init__来卸载属性设置。这是通过*args和**kwargs完成的。kwargs主要用于使用命名参数使代码可读。例如

class ElectronicAccessories(RetailItem):
    _expected_attributes = RetailItem._expected_attributes +  ['specifications']
    # Depend on args and kwargs to populate the data as needed.
    def __init__(self, specifications = None, *args, **kwargs):
        self.specifications = specifications  # Rest of attributes will make sense to parent class.
        super(ElectronicAccessories, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)

其可以被初始化为

usb_key = ElectronicAccessories(name = 'Sandisk', 
                                price = '$6.00', 
                                category = 'Electronics',
                                country_of_origin = 'CN',
                                specifications = '4GB USB 2.0/USB 3.0')

TL；博士

它将传递给函数的参数分别打包到函数体中的list和dict中。当您这样定义函数签名时：

def func(*args, **kwds):
    # do stuff

它可以用任意数量的参数和关键字参数调用。非关键字参数被打包到函数体内名为args的列表中，关键字参数被包装到函数体内称为kwds的dict中。

func("this", "is a list of", "non-keyowrd", "arguments", keyword="ligma", options=[1,2,3])

现在在函数体内部，当调用函数时，有两个局部变量，args是一个值为[“this”，“is a list of”，“non-keyword”，“arguments”]的列表，kwds是一个具有值为{“keyword”：“ligma”，“options”：[1，2]}的dict

这也反过来起作用，即从呼叫者一侧起。例如，如果函数定义为：

def f(a, b, c, d=1, e=10):
    # do stuff

您可以通过打开调用范围中的可迭代项或映射来调用它：

iterable = [1, 20, 500]
mapping = {"d" : 100, "e": 3}
f(*iterable, **mapping)
# That call is equivalent to
f(1, 20, 500, d=100, e=3)

在Python 3.5中，您还可以在列表、字典、元组和集合显示（有时也称为文字）中使用此语法。参见PEP 488：其他解包概括。

>>> (0, *range(1, 4), 5, *range(6, 8))
(0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7)
>>> [0, *range(1, 4), 5, *range(6, 8)]
[0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7]
>>> {0, *range(1, 4), 5, *range(6, 8)}
{0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7}
>>> d = {'one': 1, 'two': 2, 'three': 3}
>>> e = {'six': 6, 'seven': 7}
>>> {'zero': 0, **d, 'five': 5, **e}
{'five': 5, 'seven': 7, 'two': 2, 'one': 1, 'three': 3, 'six': 6, 'zero': 0}

它还允许在单个函数调用中解包多个可迭代项。

>>> range(*[1, 10], *[2])
range(1, 10, 2)

除了函数调用之外，*args和**kwargs在类层次结构中也很有用，并且还可以避免在Python中编写__init__方法。类似的用法可以在Django代码等框架中看到。

例如

def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
    for attribute_name, value in zip(self._expected_attributes, args):
        setattr(self, attribute_name, value)
        if kwargs.has_key(attribute_name):
            kwargs.pop(attribute_name)

    for attribute_name in kwargs.viewkeys():
        setattr(self, attribute_name, kwargs[attribute_name])

子类可以是

class RetailItem(Item):
    _expected_attributes = Item._expected_attributes + ['name', 'price', 'category', 'country_of_origin']

class FoodItem(RetailItem):
    _expected_attributes = RetailItem._expected_attributes +  ['expiry_date']

然后将子类实例化为

food_item = FoodItem(name = 'Jam', 
                     price = 12.0, 
                     category = 'Foods', 
                     country_of_origin = 'US', 
                     expiry_date = datetime.datetime.now())

此外，具有仅对该子类实例有意义的新属性的子类可以调用基类__init__来卸载属性设置。这是通过*args和**kwargs完成的。kwargs主要用于使用命名参数使代码可读。例如

    # Depend on args and kwargs to populate the data as needed.
    def __init__(self, specifications = None, *args, **kwargs):
        self.specifications = specifications  # Rest of attributes will make sense to parent class.
        super(ElectronicAccessories, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)

其可以被初始化为

usb_key = ElectronicAccessories(name = 'Sandisk', 
                                price = '$6.00', 
                                category = 'Electronics',
                                country_of_origin = 'CN',
                                specifications = '4GB USB 2.0/USB 3.0')

带*Args和**kwargs的“无限”Args

*args和**kwargs只是向函数输入无限字符的一种方式，例如：

def print_all(*args, **kwargs):
    print(args) # print any number of arguments like: "print_all("foo", "bar")"
    print(kwargs.get("to_print")) # print the value of the keyworded argument "to_print"


# example:
print_all("Hello", "World", to_print="!")
# will print:
"""
('Hello', 'World')
!
"""

*args和**kwargs：允许您向函数传递可变数量的参数。

*args：用于向函数发送非关键字可变长度参数列表：

def args(normal_arg, *argv):
    print("normal argument:", normal_arg)

    for arg in argv:
        print("Argument in list of arguments from *argv:", arg)

args('animals', 'fish', 'duck', 'bird')

将产生：

normal argument: animals
Argument in list of arguments from *argv: fish
Argument in list of arguments from *argv: duck
Argument in list of arguments from *argv: bird

**夸尔斯*

**kwargs允许您向函数传递关键字可变长度的参数。如果要处理函数中的命名参数，应使用**kwargs。

def who(**kwargs):
    if kwargs is not None:
        for key, value in kwargs.items():
            print("Your %s is %s." % (key, value))

who(name="Nikola", last_name="Tesla", birthday="7.10.1856", birthplace="Croatia")  

将产生：

Your name is Nikola.
Your last_name is Tesla.
Your birthday is 7.10.1856.
Your birthplace is Croatia.
