這裡有一個通用方法,適用於數字、線條、粘列表和混合容器,這可以讓簡單和複雜的容器混合起來(請參閱Demo)。

代码

from typing import Iterable 
#from collections import Iterable                            # < py38


def flatten(items):
    """Yield items from any nested iterable; see Reference."""
    for x in items:
        if isinstance(x, Iterable) and not isinstance(x, (str, bytes)):
            for sub_x in flatten(x):
                yield sub_x
        else:
            yield x

笔记:

在 Python 3 中,从 flatten(x) 获取可以取代 sub_x 在 flatten(x): 获取 sub_x 在 Python 3.8 中,从 collection.abc 转移到输入模块。

演示

simple = [[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7], [8, 9]]
list(flatten(simple))
# [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]

complicated = [[1, [2]], (3, 4, {5, 6}, 7), 8, "9"]              # numbers, strs, nested & mixed
list(flatten(complicated))
# [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, '9']

参考

此解決方案是從 Beazley, D. 和 B. Jones. Recipe 4.14, Python Cookbook 3rd Ed., O'Reilly Media Inc. Sebastopol, CA: 2013 發現以前的 SO 帖子,可能是原來的展示。

这对我来说似乎是最简单的:

>>> import numpy as np
>>> l = [[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7], [8, 9]]
>>> print(np.concatenate(l))
[1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9]

使用 functools.reduce,将积累的列表 xs 添加到下列列表 ys:

from functools import reduce
xss = [[1,2,3], [4,5,6], [7], [8,9]]
out = reduce(lambda xs, ys: xs + ys, xss)

出口:

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

使用 operator.concat 的更快方法:

from functools import reduce
import operator
xss = [[1,2,3], [4,5,6], [7], [8,9]]
out = reduce(operator.concat, xss)

出口:

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

另一个不寻常的方法,适用于异常和均匀的整体列表:

from typing import List


def flatten(l: list) -> List[int]:
    """Flatten an arbitrary deep nested list of lists of integers.

    Examples:
        >>> flatten([1, 2, [1, [10]]])
        [1, 2, 1, 10]

    Args:
        l: Union[l, Union[int, List[int]]

    Returns:
        Flatted list of integer
    """
    return [int(i.strip('[ ]')) for i in str(l).split(',')]

你可以使用列表扩展方法. 它显示是最快的:

flat_list = []
for sublist in l:
    flat_list.extend(sublist)

表演:

import functools
import itertools
import numpy
import operator
import perfplot


def functools_reduce_iconcat(a):
    return functools.reduce(operator.iconcat, a, [])


def itertools_chain(a):
    return list(itertools.chain.from_iterable(a))


def numpy_flat(a):
    return list(numpy.array(a).flat)


def extend(a):
    n = []

    list(map(n.extend, a))

    return n


perfplot.show(
    setup = lambda n: [list(range(10))] * n,
    kernels = [
        functools_reduce_iconcat, extend, itertools_chain, numpy_flat
        ],
    n_range = [2**k for k in range(16)],
    xlabel = 'num lists',
    )

matplotlib.cbook.flatten() 将为粘贴列表工作,即使它们比示例更深地粘贴。

import matplotlib
l = [[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7], [8, 9]]
print(list(matplotlib.cbook.flatten(l)))
l2 = [[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7], [8, [9, 10, [11, 12, [13]]]]]
print(list(matplotlib.cbook.flatten(l2)))

结果:

[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13]

这比 underscore 快 18 倍。

Average time over 1000 trials of matplotlib.cbook.flatten: 2.55e-05 sec
Average time over 1000 trials of underscore._.flatten: 4.63e-04 sec
(time for underscore._)/(time for matplotlib.cbook) = 18.1233394636
