实际的count()实现如下所示:
def count(iterable):
if hasattr(iterable, '__len__'):
return len(iterable)
d = collections.deque(enumerate(iterable, 1), maxlen=1)
return d[0][0] if d else 0
import copy
def get_iter_len(iterator):
return sum(1 for _ in copy.copy(iterator))
###############################################
iterator = range(0, 10)
print(get_iter_len(iterator))
if len(tuple(iterator)) > 1:
print("Finding the length did not exhaust the iterator!")
else:
print("oh no! it's all gone")
输出为"Finding the length did not exhaust the iterator!"
可选地(并且不明智地),你可以像下面这样隐藏内置的len函数:
import copy
def len(obj, *, len=len):
try:
if hasattr(obj, "__len__"):
r = len(obj)
elif hasattr(obj, "__next__"):
r = sum(1 for _ in copy.copy(obj))
else:
r = len(obj)
finally:
pass
return r
