是否有理由更喜欢使用map()而不是列表理解,反之亦然?它们中的任何一个通常比另一个更有效或被认为更python化吗?


当前回答

所以从Python 3开始,map()是一个迭代器,你需要记住你需要什么:一个迭代器或列表对象。

正如@AlexMartelli已经提到的,只有在不使用lambda函数的情况下,map()才比列表理解更快。

我会给你们看一些时间比较。

Python 3.5.2和CPythonI已经使用了Jupiter笔记本电脑,特别是%timeit内置的魔法命令 测量:s == 1000 ms == 1000 * 1000µs = 1000 * 1000 * 1000 ns

设置:

x_list = [(i, i+1, i+2, i*2, i-9) for i in range(1000)]
i_list = list(range(1000))

内置函数:

%timeit map(sum, x_list)  # creating iterator object
# Output: The slowest run took 9.91 times longer than the fastest. 
# This could mean that an intermediate result is being cached.
# 1000000 loops, best of 3: 277 ns per loop

%timeit list(map(sum, x_list))  # creating list with map
# Output: 1000 loops, best of 3: 214 µs per loop

%timeit [sum(x) for x in x_list]  # creating list with list comprehension
# Output: 1000 loops, best of 3: 290 µs per loop

lambda函数:

%timeit map(lambda i: i+1, i_list)
# Output: The slowest run took 8.64 times longer than the fastest. 
# This could mean that an intermediate result is being cached.
# 1000000 loops, best of 3: 325 ns per loop

%timeit list(map(lambda i: i+1, i_list))
# Output: 1000 loops, best of 3: 183 µs per loop

%timeit [i+1 for i in i_list]
# Output: 10000 loops, best of 3: 84.2 µs per loop

还有类似生成器表达式的东西,参见PEP-0289。所以我认为把它添加到比较中是有用的

%timeit (sum(i) for i in x_list)
# Output: The slowest run took 6.66 times longer than the fastest. 
# This could mean that an intermediate result is being cached.
# 1000000 loops, best of 3: 495 ns per loop

%timeit list((sum(x) for x in x_list))
# Output: 1000 loops, best of 3: 319 µs per loop

%timeit (i+1 for i in i_list)
# Output: The slowest run took 6.83 times longer than the fastest. 
# This could mean that an intermediate result is being cached.
# 1000000 loops, best of 3: 506 ns per loop

%timeit list((i+1 for i in i_list))
# Output: 10000 loops, best of 3: 125 µs per loop

你需要列表对象:

如果是自定义函数,则使用列表推导式;如果是内置函数,则使用list(map())

你不需要列表对象,你只需要一个可迭代对象:

总是使用map()!

其他回答

我发现列表推导式通常比映射式更能表达我想要做的事情——它们都能完成,但前者节省了试图理解复杂lambda表达式的精神负担。

在某个地方也有一个采访(我不能马上找到),Guido列出lambdas和函数函数是他最后悔接受Python的东西,所以你可以认为它们是非Python的。

这里有一个可能的例子:

map(lambda op1,op2: op1*op2, list1, list2)

对比:

[op1*op2 for op1,op2 in zip(list1,list2)]

我猜,如果坚持使用列表推导式而不是映射,那么zip()是一种不幸的、不必要的开销。如果有人能肯定或否定地澄清这一点,那就太好了。

我用perfplot(我的一个项目)计算了一些结果。

正如其他人所注意到的,map实际上只返回一个迭代器,因此它是一个常量时间操作。当通过list()实现迭代器时,它与列表推导式相当。根据不同的表达方式,任何一种都可能有轻微的优势,但并不显著。

注意,像x ** 2这样的算术运算在NumPy中要快得多,特别是如果输入数据已经是NumPy数组的话。

hex:

X ** 2:


代码重现图:

import perfplot


def standalone_map(data):
    return map(hex, data)


def list_map(data):
    return list(map(hex, data))


def comprehension(data):
    return [hex(x) for x in data]


b = perfplot.bench(
    setup=lambda n: list(range(n)),
    kernels=[standalone_map, list_map, comprehension],
    n_range=[2 ** k for k in range(20)],
    equality_check=None,
)
b.save("out.png")
b.show()
import perfplot
import numpy as np


def standalone_map(data):
    return map(lambda x: x ** 2, data[0])


def list_map(data):
    return list(map(lambda x: x ** 2, data[0]))


def comprehension(data):
    return [x ** 2 for x in data[0]]


def numpy_asarray(data):
    return np.asarray(data[0]) ** 2


def numpy_direct(data):
    return data[1] ** 2


b = perfplot.bench(
    setup=lambda n: (list(range(n)), np.arange(n)),
    kernels=[standalone_map, list_map, comprehension, numpy_direct, numpy_asarray],
    n_range=[2 ** k for k in range(20)],
    equality_check=None,
)
b.save("out2.png")
b.show()

我的用例:

def sum_items(*args):
    return sum(args)


list_a = [1, 2, 3]
list_b = [1, 2, 3]

list_of_sums = list(map(sum_items,
                        list_a, list_b))
>>> [3, 6, 9]

comprehension = [sum(items) for items in iter(zip(list_a, list_b))]

我发现自己开始使用更多的map,我认为map可能比comp慢,因为传递和返回参数,这就是我找到这篇文章的原因。

我相信使用map可以更有可读性和灵活性,特别是当我需要构造列表的值时。

如果你用地图的话,你读的时候就明白了。

def pair_list_items(*args):
    return args

packed_list = list(map(pair_list_items,
                       lista, *listb, listc.....listn))

再加上灵活性奖励。 谢谢你其他的答案,再加上绩效奖金。
