Python的迭代器和生成器使用实例

一、迭代器Iterators

迭代器仅是一容器对象,它实现了迭代器协议。它有两个基本方法:

1)next方法
返回容器的下一个元素

2)__iter__方法
返回迭代器自身

迭代器可使用内建的iter方法创建,见例子:


>>> i = iter('abc')

>>> i.next()

'a'

>>> i.next()

'b'

>>> i.next()

'c'

>>> i.next()

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "<string>", line 1, in <string>

StopIteration:

class MyIterator(object):   def __init__(self, step):   self.step = step   def next(self):   """Returns the next element."""   if self.step==0:   raise StopIteration   self.step-=1   return self.step   def __iter__(self):   """Returns the iterator itself."""   return self for el in MyIterator(4):   print el --------------------


结果:

3

2

1

0

二、生成器Generators

从Python2.2起,生成器提供了一种简洁的方式帮助返回列表元素的函数来完成简单和有效的代码。
它基于yield指令,允许停止函数并立即返回结果。

此函数保存其执行上下文,如果需要,可立即继续执行。

例如Fibonacci函数:


def fibonacci():

  a,b=0,1

  while True:

  yield b

  a,b = b, a+b

fib=fibonacci()

print fib.next()

print fib.next()

print fib.next()

print [fib.next() for i in range(10)]

--------------------


结果:

1

1

2

[3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233]

PEP Python Enhancement Proposal Python增强建议

tokenize模块


>>> import tokenize

>>> reader = open('c:/temp/py1.py').next

>>> tokens=tokenize.generate_tokens(reader)

>>> tokens.next()

(1, 'class', (1, 0), (1, 5), 'class MyIterator(object):/n')

>>> tokens.next()

(1, 'MyIterator', (1, 6), (1, 16), 'class MyIterator(object):/n')

>>> tokens.next()

(51, '(', (1, 16), (1, 17), 'class MyIterator(object):/n')


例子:

def power(values):

  for value in values:

  print 'powering %s' %value

  yield value

def adder(values):

  for value in values:

  print 'adding to %s' %value

  if value%2==0:

  yield value+3

  else:

  yield value+2

elements = [1,4,7,9,12,19]

res = adder(power(elements))

print res.next()

print res.next()

--------------------


结果:

powering 1

adding to 1

3

powering 4

adding to 4

7


保持代码简单,而不是数据。
注意:宁可有大量简单的可迭代函数,也不要一个复杂的一次只计算出一个值的函数。

例子:


def psychologist():

  print 'Please tell me your problems'

  while True:

  answer = (yield)

  if answer is not None:

  if answer.endswith('?'):

  print ("Don't ask yourself too much questions")

  elif 'good' in answer:

  print "A that's good, go on"

  elif 'bad' in answer:

  print "Don't be so negative"

free = psychologist()

print free.next()

print free.send('I feel bad')

print free.send("Why I shouldn't ?")

print free.send("ok then i should find what is good for me")

--------------------


结果:

Please tell me your problems

None

Don't be so negative

None

Don't ask yourself too much questions

None

A that's good, go on

None
