*args和**kwargs是什么意思?

def foo(x, y, *args):
def bar(x, y, **kwargs):

当前回答

让我们首先了解什么是位置参数和关键字参数。下面是带有位置参数的函数定义示例。

def test(a,b,c):
     print(a)
     print(b)
     print(c)

test(1,2,3)
#output:
1
2
3

这是一个带有位置参数的函数定义。也可以使用关键字/命名参数调用它:

def test(a,b,c):
     print(a)
     print(b)
     print(c)

test(a=1,b=2,c=3)
#output:
1
2
3

现在让我们研究一个带有关键字参数的函数定义示例:

def test(a=0,b=0,c=0):
     print(a)
     print(b)
     print(c)
     print('-------------------------')

test(a=1,b=2,c=3)
#output :
1
2
3
-------------------------

也可以使用位置参数调用此函数:

def test(a=0,b=0,c=0):
    print(a)
    print(b)
    print(c)
    print('-------------------------')

test(1,2,3)
# output :
1
2
3
---------------------------------

所以我们现在知道了带有位置参数和关键字参数的函数定义。

现在让我们研究一下“*”运算符和“**”运算符。

请注意,这些运算符可用于两个区域:

a) 函数调用

b) 函数定义

在函数调用中使用“*”运算符和“**”运算符。

让我们直接讲一个例子,然后讨论它。

def sum(a,b):  #receive args from function calls as sum(1,2) or sum(a=1,b=2)
    print(a+b)

my_tuple = (1,2)
my_list = [1,2]
my_dict = {'a':1,'b':2}

# Let us unpack data structure of list or tuple or dict into arguments with help of '*' operator
sum(*my_tuple)   # becomes same as sum(1,2) after unpacking my_tuple with '*'
sum(*my_list)    # becomes same as sum(1,2) after unpacking my_list with  '*'
sum(**my_dict)   # becomes same as sum(a=1,b=2) after unpacking by '**' 

# output is 3 in all three calls to sum function.

所以记住

在函数调用中使用“*”或“**”运算符时-

“*”运算符将列表或元组等数据结构解包为函数定义所需的参数。

“**”运算符将字典解包为函数定义所需的参数。

现在让我们研究函数定义中使用的“*”运算符。例子:

def sum(*args): #pack the received positional args into data structure of tuple. after applying '*' - def sum((1,2,3,4))
    sum = 0
    for a in args:
        sum+=a
    print(sum)

sum(1,2,3,4)  #positional args sent to function sum
#output:
10

在函数定义中,“*”运算符将收到的参数打包到一个元组中。

现在让我们看看函数定义中使用的“**”示例:

def sum(**args): #pack keyword args into datastructure of dict after applying '**' - def sum({a:1,b:2,c:3,d:4})
    sum=0
    for k,v in args.items():
        sum+=v
    print(sum)

sum(a=1,b=2,c=3,d=4) #positional args sent to function sum

在函数定义中,“**”运算符将收到的参数打包到字典中。

所以请记住:

在函数调用中,“*”将元组或列表的数据结构解包为要由函数定义接收的位置或关键字参数。

在函数调用中,“**”将字典的数据结构解包为函数定义要接收的位置或关键字参数。

在函数定义中,“*”将位置参数打包到元组中。

在函数定义中,“**”将关键字参数打包到字典中。

其他回答

对于那些通过实例学习的人!

*的目的是让您能够定义一个函数,该函数可以接受作为列表提供的任意数量的参数(例如f(*myList))。**的目的是通过提供字典(例如f(**{'x':1,'y':2}))来提供函数的参数。

让我们通过定义一个函数来展示这一点,该函数接受两个正常变量x,y,并且可以接受更多的参数作为myArgs,并且可以接收更多的参数为myKW。稍后,我们将展示如何使用myArgDict喂养y。

def f(x, y, *myArgs, **myKW):
    print("# x      = {}".format(x))
    print("# y      = {}".format(y))
    print("# myArgs = {}".format(myArgs))
    print("# myKW   = {}".format(myKW))
    print("# ----------------------------------------------------------------------")

# Define a list for demonstration purposes
myList    = ["Left", "Right", "Up", "Down"]
# Define a dictionary for demonstration purposes
myDict    = {"Wubba": "lubba", "Dub": "dub"}
# Define a dictionary to feed y
myArgDict = {'y': "Why?", 'y0': "Why not?", "q": "Here is a cue!"}

# The 1st elem of myList feeds y
f("myEx", *myList, **myDict)
# x      = myEx
# y      = Left
# myArgs = ('Right', 'Up', 'Down')
# myKW   = {'Wubba': 'lubba', 'Dub': 'dub'}
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------

# y is matched and fed first
# The rest of myArgDict becomes additional arguments feeding myKW
f("myEx", **myArgDict)
# x      = myEx
# y      = Why?
# myArgs = ()
# myKW   = {'y0': 'Why not?', 'q': 'Here is a cue!'}
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------

# The rest of myArgDict becomes additional arguments feeding myArgs
f("myEx", *myArgDict)
# x      = myEx
# y      = y
# myArgs = ('y0', 'q')
# myKW   = {}
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------

# Feed extra arguments manually and append even more from my list
f("myEx", 4, 42, 420, *myList, *myDict, **myDict)
# x      = myEx
# y      = 4
# myArgs = (42, 420, 'Left', 'Right', 'Up', 'Down', 'Wubba', 'Dub')
# myKW   = {'Wubba': 'lubba', 'Dub': 'dub'}
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------

# Without the stars, the entire provided list and dict become x, and y:
f(myList, myDict)
# x      = ['Left', 'Right', 'Up', 'Down']
# y      = {'Wubba': 'lubba', 'Dub': 'dub'}
# myArgs = ()
# myKW   = {}
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------

注意事项

**专为词典保留。非可选参数赋值首先发生。不能两次使用非可选参数。如果适用,**必须始终在*之后。

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')

完整的代码在这里

*和**在函数参数列表中有特殊用法*表示参数是列表,**表示参数是一本字典。这允许函数接受任意数量的论据

给定一个有3项作为参数的函数

sum = lambda x, y, z: x + y + z
sum(1,2,3) # sum 3 items

sum([1,2,3]) # error, needs 3 items, not 1 list

x = [1,2,3][0]
y = [1,2,3][1]
z = [1,2,3][2]
sum(x,y,z) # ok

sum(*[1,2,3]) # ok, 1 list becomes 3 items

想象一下这个玩具有一个三角形、一个圆形和一个长方形的袋子。那个包不太合身。你需要打开袋子,取出这3件物品,现在它们就可以了。Python*运算符执行此解包过程。

这个示例将帮助您立即记住Python中的*args、**kwargs甚至super和继承。

class base(object):
    def __init__(self, base_param):
        self.base_param = base_param


class child1(base): # inherited from base class
    def __init__(self, child_param, *args) # *args for non-keyword args
        self.child_param = child_param
        super(child1, self).__init__(*args) # call __init__ of the base class and initialize it with a NON-KEYWORD arg

class child2(base):
    def __init__(self, child_param, **kwargs):
        self.child_param = child_param
        super(child2, self).__init__(**kwargs) # call __init__ of the base class and initialize it with a KEYWORD arg

c1 = child1(1,0)
c2 = child2(1,base_param=0)
print c1.base_param # 0
print c1.child_param # 1
print c2.base_param # 0
print c2.child_param # 1
