def partition(pred, iterable):
    'Use a predicate to partition entries into false entries and true entries'
    # partition(is_odd, range(10)) --> 0 2 4 6 8   and  1 3 5 7 9
    t1, t2 = tee(iterable)
    return filterfalse(pred, t1), filter(pred, t2)

检查这个

def partition(pred, iterable):
    'Use a predicate to partition entries into false entries and true entries'
    # partition(is_odd, range(10)) --> 0 2 4 6 8   and  1 3 5 7 9
    t1, t2 = tee(iterable)
    return filterfalse(pred, t1), filter(pred, t2)

检查这个

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。

itertools。Groupby几乎可以满足您的要求，除了它要求对条目进行排序以确保您获得一个连续的范围之外，因此您需要首先根据键进行排序(否则您将为每种类型获得多个交错的组)。如。

def is_good(f):
    return f[2].lower() in IMAGE_TYPES

files = [ ('file1.jpg', 33L, '.jpg'), ('file2.avi', 999L, '.avi'), ('file3.gif', 123L, '.gif')]

for key, group in itertools.groupby(sorted(files, key=is_good), key=is_good):
    print key, list(group)

给:

False [('file2.avi', 999L, '.avi')]
True [('file1.jpg', 33L, '.jpg'), ('file3.gif', 123L, '.gif')]

与其他解决方案类似，可以将键func定义为任意数量的组。

如果你不想用两行代码来完成一个语义只需要一次的操作，你可以把上面的一些方法(甚至是你自己的方法)包装在一个函数中:

def part_with_predicate(l, pred):
    return [i for i in l if pred(i)], [i for i in l if not pred(i)]

这不是一种惰性计算方法，它确实对列表进行了两次迭代，但是它允许您在一行代码中对列表进行分区。

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'])]
