如果你想保留大部分键，同时删除一些键，另一种方法是:

{k: bigdict[k] for k in bigdict.keys() if k not in ['l', 'm', 'n']}

interesting_keys = ('l', 'm', 'n')
subdict = {x: bigdict[x] for x in interesting_keys if x in bigdict}

好吧，这个问题已经困扰过我几次了，谢谢你的提问。

上面的答案似乎是一个很好的解决方案，但如果你在你的代码中使用它，我认为包装功能是有意义的。此外，这里有两个可能的用例:一个是关心是否所有关键字都在原始字典中。还有一个你不知道的地方。如果能对两者一视同仁就好了。

所以，为了我的二分之一的价值，我建议写一个字典的子类，例如。

class my_dict(dict):
    def subdict(self, keywords, fragile=False):
        d = {}
        for k in keywords:
            try:
                d[k] = self[k]
            except KeyError:
                if fragile:
                    raise
        return d

现在您可以使用orig_dict.subdict(关键字)提取子字典

使用例子:

#
## our keywords are letters of the alphabet
keywords = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
#
## our dictionary maps letters to their index
d = my_dict([(k,i) for i,k in enumerate(keywords)])
print('Original dictionary:\n%r\n\n' % (d,))
#
## constructing a sub-dictionary with good keywords
oddkeywords = keywords[::2]
subd = d.subdict(oddkeywords)
print('Dictionary from odd numbered keys:\n%r\n\n' % (subd,))
#
## constructing a sub-dictionary with mixture of good and bad keywords
somebadkeywords = keywords[1::2] + 'A'
try:
    subd2 = d.subdict(somebadkeywords)
    print("We shouldn't see this message")
except KeyError:
    print("subd2 construction fails:")
    print("\toriginal dictionary doesn't contain some keys\n\n")
#
## Trying again with fragile set to false
try:
    subd3 = d.subdict(somebadkeywords, fragile=False)
    print('Dictionary constructed using some bad keys:\n%r\n\n' % (subd3,))
except KeyError:
    print("We shouldn't see this message")

如果你运行上面所有的代码，你应该会看到(类似于)下面的输出(抱歉格式化):

Original dictionary: {'a': 0, 'c': 2, 'b': 1, 'e': 4, 'd': 3, 'g': 6, 'f': 5, 'i': 8, 'h': 7, 'k': 10, 'j': 9, 'm': 12, 'l': 11, 'o': 14, 'n': 13, 'q': 16, 'p': 15, 's': 18, 'r': 17, 'u': 20, 't': 19, 'w': 22, 'v': 21, 'y': 24, 'x': 23, 'z': 25} Dictionary from odd numbered keys: {'a': 0, 'c': 2, 'e': 4, 'g': 6, 'i': 8, 'k': 10, 'm': 12, 'o': 14, 'q': 16, 's': 18, 'u': 20, 'w': 22, 'y': 24} subd2 construction fails: original dictionary doesn't contain some keys Dictionary constructed using some bad keys: {'b': 1, 'd': 3, 'f': 5, 'h': 7, 'j': 9, 'l': 11, 'n': 13, 'p': 15, 'r': 17, 't': 19, 'v': 21, 'x': 23, 'z': 25}

比较一下所有提到的方法的速度:

正如预期的那样:字典推导式是最好的选择。

你可以试试:

dict((k, bigdict[k]) for k in ('l', 'm', 'n'))

．.． 或Python 3 Python 2.7或更高版本(感谢Fábio Diniz指出它在2.7中也适用):

{k: bigdict[k] for k in ('l', 'm', 'n')}

更新:正如Håvard S指出的那样，我假设你知道键将在字典中-如果你不能做出这样的假设，请参阅他的答案。或者，正如timbo在评论中指出的那样，如果你想要bigdict中缺少的键映射到None，你可以这样做:

{k: bigdict.get(k, None) for k in ('l', 'm', 'n')}

如果你正在使用python3，并且你只想要新字典中的键实际上存在于原始字典中，你可以使用fact来查看对象，实现一些set操作:

{k: bigdict[k] for k in bigdict.keys() & {'l', 'm', 'n'}}

如果有人想要字典的前几项n而不知道键:

n = 5 # First Five Items
ks = [*dikt.keys()][:n]
less_dikt = {i: dikt[i] for i in ks}
