是否可以一次将相同的值赋给一个 dict 对象中的多个键?

在 Python 中,我需要一个 dictionary 对象,它看起来像:

{'a': 10, 'b': 20, 'c': 10, 'd': 10, 'e': 20}

我已经成功地将 dict.update()dict.fromkeys()函数结合起来,就像这样:

myDict = {}
myDict.update(dict.fromkeys(['a', 'c', 'd'], 10))
myDict.update(dict.fromkeys(['b', 'e'], 20))

但是,由于这些代码是为那些偶尔需要添加键/值的初学者编写的,因此我倾向于使用简单的基本语法(类似 Perl) ,比如:

myDict = {}
myDict['a', 'c', 'd'] = 10
myDict['b', 'e'] = 20

然而,这给了我:

myDict = {('a', 'c', 'd'): 10, ('b', 'e'): 20}

有没有一种方法可以进一步简化我的第一个例子(使用 dict.update()dict.fromkeys()) ,并得到我正在寻找的 dict 对象?

或者,如果我在第二个示例中有一个包含元组的 dict,是否有一种简单的方法可以查找 myDict['c']myDict.get('c')并得到值10?

I would say what you have is very simple, you could slightly improve it to be:

my_dict = dict.fromkeys(['a', 'c', 'd'], 10)
my_dict.update(dict.fromkeys(['b', 'e'], 20))

If your keys are tuple you could do:

>>> my_dict = {('a', 'c', 'd'): 10, ('b', 'e'): 20}
>>> next(v for k, v in my_dict.items() if 'c' in k)      # use .iteritems() python-2.x
10

This is, of course, will return first encountered value, key for which contains given element.

Your first example can be simplified using a loop:

myDict = {}
for key in ['a', 'c', 'd']:
myDict[key] = 10
for key in ['b', 'e']:
myDict[key] = 20

No specialized syntax or trickery, and I can't think of anything which would be easier to understand.

Regarding your second question, there is no simple and efficient way to do the lookup as in your second example. I can only think of iterating over the keys (tuples) and checking whether the key is in any of them, which isn't what you're looking for. Stick to using a straightforward dict with the keys you want.

In general, if you are aiming for code that can be understood by novices, stick to the basics such as if conditions and for/while loops.

You could inherit from dict to implement a sort of "update from keys":

class LazyDict(dict):
def keylist(self, keys, value):
for key in keys:
self[key] = value


>>> d = LazyDict()
>>> d.keylist(('a', 'b', 'c'), 10)
>>> d
{'a': 10, 'c': 10, 'b': 10}

but I prefer loop solution

Similar to @SilentGhost but a more declarative syntax (with Python 3.5+) I prefer:

myDict = {
**dict.fromkeys(['a', 'c', 'd'], 10),
**dict.fromkeys(['b', 'e'], 20)
}

Method:

def multi_key_dict_get(d, k):
for keys, v in d.items():
if k in keys:
return v
return None

Usage:

my_dict = {
('a', 'b', 'c'): 10,
('p', 'q', 'r'): 50
}


value = multi_key_dict_get(my_dict, 'a')

There is one way that comes to mind. Still has the limitation of only having the same contents.

The value of one key can't change another.

key_map = {
'KEY_UP': move_up,
'w': 'KEY_UP',
}
  

for key in key_map:
# loop over the dict
    

if key_map[key] in key_map:
# one key is the value of the other
        

target_key = key_map[key]
key_map[key] = key_map[target_key]
# overwrite key white the contents of the other

Dict union (3.9+)

Now with Python 3.9, you can do this:

myDict = dict.fromkeys(['a', 'c', 'd'], 10) | dict.fromkeys(['b', 'e'], 20)

Although personally, I'm not sure I would use this, since it's hard to read.

Dict comprehension

myDict = {
k: v
for keys, v in [(['a', 'c', 'd'], 10), (['b', 'e'], 20)]
for k in keys
}

This is also hard to read, but I'm mentioning it for the sake of completeness.

reference

While @SilentGhost's answer works pretty fine with single length of keys, it won't work correctly for those looking for a "multiple character length of keys" solution, and so I've thought of the below solution [...]

let's say that we have the above dict and keys we are looking for:

my_dict = {
'key1':'KEY_1',
('tk1', 'tk2','tk3'):'TK_1_2_3',
'key2':'KEY_2'
}
my_keys = ['key2','ke', 'tk2','k','key','exception'] # key's I'm looking for

the example & SOLUTION below:

for key in my_keys:
print(next((v for k, v in my_dict.items() if (key == k) or (isinstance(k,tuple) and key in k)),None))

CORRECTLY outputs:

KEY_2
None
TK_1_2_3
None
None
None

While with (a slightly modified solution [so it won't throw StopIteration exception] of) @SilentGhost's answer

for key in my_keys:
print(next((v for k, v in my_dict.items() if key in k),None)) # added ((...),None)

the results are WRONG because [...]2 if not a StopIteration exception:

KEY_2
KEY_1
TK_1_2_3
KEY_1
KEY_1
None

While personally I wouldn't really recommend it from a perspective of speed efficiency (at least not for all use cases), it is indeed a way of solving this issue and so I decided to post it.

class MyDict(dict):
def __setitem__(self,keys,value):
if type(keys)!=tuple:keys=(keys,)
for key in keys:super().__setitem__(key,value)


myDict = MyDict()
myDict['a', 'c', 'd'] = 10
myDict['b', 'e'] = 20


print(myDict) # {'a': 10, 'c': 10, 'd': 10, 'b': 20, 'e': 20}
