是的,我知道这个主题之前已经被讨论过了:

Python成语链(扁平化)有限迭代对象的无限迭代? 在Python中扁平化一个浅列表 理解平展一个序列的序列吗? 我如何从列表的列表中创建一个平面列表?

但据我所知,所有的解决方案,除了一个,在像[[[1,2,3],[4,5]],6]这样的列表上失败,其中期望的输出是[1,2,3,4,5,6](或者更好,一个迭代器)。

我看到的唯一解决方案,适用于任意嵌套是在这个问题:

def flatten(x):
    result = []
    for el in x:
        if hasattr(el, "__iter__") and not isinstance(el, basestring):
            result.extend(flatten(el))
        else:
            result.append(el)
    return result

这是最好的方法吗?我是不是忽略了什么?任何问题吗?


当前回答

没有递归或嵌套循环。几行。格式良好,易于阅读:

def flatten_deep(arr: list):
    """ Flattens arbitrarily-nested list `arr` into single-dimensional. """

    while arr:
        if isinstance(arr[0], list):  # Checks whether first element is a list
            arr = arr[0] + arr[1:]  # If so, flattens that first element one level
        else:
            yield arr.pop(0)  # Otherwise yield as part of the flat array

flatten_deep(L)

其他回答

L2 = [o for k in [[j] if not isinstance(j,list) else j for j in [k for i in [[m] if not 
isinstance(m,list) else m for m in L] for k in i]] for o in k]

python 3

from collections import Iterable

L = [[[1, 2, 3], [4, 5]], 6,[7,[8,9,[10]]]]

def flatten(thing):
    result = []

    if isinstance(thing, Iterable):
        for item in thing:
            result.extend(flatten(item))
    else:
        result.append(thing)

    return result


flat = flatten(L)
print(flat)

不使用实例的简单函数

L = [[[1, 2, 3], [4, 5]], 6]
l1 = []
def FlattenList(List1):
    for i in range(len(List1)):
        if type(List1[i]) == type([]):
            FlattenList(List1[i])
        else:
            l1.append(List1[i])
    return l1


FlattenList(L)
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

没有装饰。只有发冷。

recursive_list_of_lists = [1,2,3,[1,2,[[3,4,[5]],7,0,1,10],100,[101,[101,[[101]],2]],0]]

k = []

def flatten(subl):
    for i in subl:
        if type(i) != type([1]):
            k.append(i)
        else:
            flatten(i)

flatten(recursive_list_of_lists)

print(k)

[1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 0, 1, 10, 100, 101, 101, 101, 2, 0]

你可以使用第三方包iteration_utilities中的deepflatten:

>>> from iteration_utilities import deepflatten
>>> L = [[[1, 2, 3], [4, 5]], 6]
>>> list(deepflatten(L))
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

>>> list(deepflatten(L, types=list))  # only flatten "inner" lists
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

它是一个迭代器,所以你需要迭代它(例如用列表包装它或在循环中使用它)。在内部,它使用迭代方法而不是递归方法,并且它是作为C扩展编写的,因此它可以比纯python方法更快:

>>> %timeit list(deepflatten(L))
12.6 µs ± 298 ns per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 100000 loops each)
>>> %timeit list(deepflatten(L, types=list))
8.7 µs ± 139 ns per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 100000 loops each)

>>> %timeit list(flatten(L))   # Cristian - Python 3.x approach from https://stackoverflow.com/a/2158532/5393381
86.4 µs ± 4.42 µs per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 10000 loops each)

>>> %timeit list(flatten(L))   # Josh Lee - https://stackoverflow.com/a/2158522/5393381
107 µs ± 2.99 µs per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 10000 loops each)

>>> %timeit list(genflat(L, list))  # Alex Martelli - https://stackoverflow.com/a/2159079/5393381
23.1 µs ± 710 ns per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 10000 loops each)
