你可以在Python中进行惰性函数编程，像这样:

partition = lambda l, c: map(
  lambda iii: (i for ii in iii for i in ii),
  zip(*(([], [e]) if c(e) else ([e], []) for e in l)))

函数式编程很优雅，但在Python中不是这样。如果你知道你的列表中没有None值，也可以参考这个例子:

partition = lambda l, c: map(
  filter(lambda x: x is not None, l),
  zip(*((None, e) if c(e) else (e, None) for e in l)))

bad = []
good = [x for x in mylist if x in goodvals or bad.append(x)]

append返回None，所以它可以工作。

受到@gnibbler伟大(但简洁!)回答的启发，我们可以应用该方法映射到多个分区:

from collections import defaultdict

def splitter(l, mapper):
    """Split an iterable into multiple partitions generated by a callable mapper."""

    results = defaultdict(list)

    for x in l:
        results[mapper(x)] += [x]

    return results

然后可以使用splitter，如下所示:

>>> l = [1, 2, 3, 4, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 4, 3, 2, 3]
>>> split = splitter(l, lambda x: x % 2 == 0)  # partition l into odds and evens
>>> split.items()
>>> [(False, [1, 3, 3, 5, 3, 3]), (True, [2, 4, 2, 4, 6, 4, 2])]

这适用于有更复杂映射的两个以上分区(也适用于迭代器):

>>> import math
>>> l = xrange(1, 23)
>>> split = splitter(l, lambda x: int(math.log10(x) * 5))
>>> split.items()
[(0, [1]),
 (1, [2]),
 (2, [3]),
 (3, [4, 5, 6]),
 (4, [7, 8, 9]),
 (5, [10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15]),
 (6, [16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22])]

或者用字典来映射:

>>> map = {'A': 1, 'X': 2, 'B': 3, 'Y': 1, 'C': 2, 'Z': 3}
>>> l = ['A', 'B', 'C', 'C', 'X', 'Y', 'Z', 'A', 'Z']
>>> split = splitter(l, map.get)
>>> split.items()
(1, ['A', 'Y', 'A']), (2, ['C', 'C', 'X']), (3, ['B', 'Z', 'Z'])]

images = [f for f in files if f[2].lower() in IMAGE_TYPES]
anims  = [f for f in files if f not in images]

当条件较长时很好，例如在您的示例中。读者不需要弄清楚否定条件以及它是否适用于所有其他情况。

下面是惰性迭代器方法:

from itertools import tee

def split_on_condition(seq, condition):
    l1, l2 = tee((condition(item), item) for item in seq)
    return (i for p, i in l1 if p), (i for p, i in l2 if not p)

它对每个项计算一次条件，并返回两个生成器，第一个生成条件为真时序列中的值，另一个生成条件为假时序列中的值。

因为它是惰性的，你可以在任何迭代器上使用它，甚至是无限迭代器:

from itertools import count, islice

def is_prime(n):
    return n > 1 and all(n % i for i in xrange(2, n))

primes, not_primes = split_on_condition(count(), is_prime)
print("First 10 primes", list(islice(primes, 10)))
print("First 10 non-primes", list(islice(not_primes, 10)))

通常情况下，非惰性列表返回方法会更好:

def split_on_condition(seq, condition):
    a, b = [], []
    for item in seq:
        (a if condition(item) else b).append(item)
    return a, b

编辑:对于您更具体的用例，将项目按某些键分割到不同的列表中，这里有一个通用函数:

DROP_VALUE = lambda _:_
def split_by_key(seq, resultmapping, keyfunc, default=DROP_VALUE):
    """Split a sequence into lists based on a key function.

        seq - input sequence
        resultmapping - a dictionary that maps from target lists to keys that go to that list
        keyfunc - function to calculate the key of an input value
        default - the target where items that don't have a corresponding key go, by default they are dropped
    """
    result_lists = dict((key, []) for key in resultmapping)
    appenders = dict((key, result_lists[target].append) for target, keys in resultmapping.items() for key in keys)

    if default is not DROP_VALUE:
        result_lists.setdefault(default, [])
        default_action = result_lists[default].append
    else:
        default_action = DROP_VALUE

    for item in seq:
        appenders.get(keyfunc(item), default_action)(item)

    return result_lists

用法:

def file_extension(f):
    return f[2].lower()

split_files = split_by_key(files, {'images': IMAGE_TYPES}, keyfunc=file_extension, default='anims')
print split_files['images']
print split_files['anims']

这里已经有很多解了，但另一种方法是

anims = []
images = [f for f in files if (lambda t: True if f[2].lower() in IMAGE_TYPES else anims.append(t) and False)(f)]

只在列表上迭代一次，看起来更python化，因此对我来说是可读的。

>>> files = [ ('file1.jpg', 33L, '.jpg'), ('file2.avi', 999L, '.avi'), ('file1.bmp', 33L, '.bmp')]
>>> IMAGE_TYPES = ('.jpg','.jpeg','.gif','.bmp','.png')
>>> anims = []
>>> images = [f for f in files if (lambda t: True if f[2].lower() in IMAGE_TYPES else anims.append(t) and False)(f)]
>>> print '\n'.join([str(anims), str(images)])
[('file2.avi', 999L, '.avi')]
[('file1.jpg', 33L, '.jpg'), ('file1.bmp', 33L, '.bmp')]
>>>
