我需要合并多个字典,这是我有例如:

dict1 = {1:{"a":{A}}, 2:{"b":{B}}}

dict2 = {2:{"c":{C}}, 3:{"d":{D}}}

A、B、C和D是树的叶子,比如{"info1":"value", "info2":"value2"}

字典的级别(深度)未知,可能是{2:{"c":{"z":{"y":{c}}}}}

在我的例子中,它表示一个目录/文件结构,节点是文档,叶子是文件。

我想将它们合并得到:

 dict3 = {1:{"a":{A}}, 2:{"b":{B},"c":{C}}, 3:{"d":{D}}}

我不确定如何用Python轻松做到这一点。

换个答案怎么样?!?这也避免了突变/副作用:

def merge(dict1, dict2):
    output = {}

    # adds keys from `dict1` if they do not exist in `dict2` and vice-versa
    intersection = {**dict2, **dict1}

    for k_intersect, v_intersect in intersection.items():
        if k_intersect not in dict1:
            v_dict2 = dict2[k_intersect]
            output[k_intersect] = v_dict2

        elif k_intersect not in dict2:
            output[k_intersect] = v_intersect

        elif isinstance(v_intersect, dict):
            v_dict2 = dict2[k_intersect]
            output[k_intersect] = merge(v_intersect, v_dict2)

        else:
            output[k_intersect] = v_intersect

    return output

dict1 = {1:{"a":{"A"}}, 2:{"b":{"B"}}}
dict2 = {2:{"c":{"C"}}, 3:{"d":{"D"}}}
dict3 = {1:{"a":{"A"}}, 2:{"b":{"B"},"c":{"C"}}, 3:{"d":{"D"}}}

assert dict3 == merge(dict1, dict2)

其他回答

当然,代码将取决于您解决合并冲突的规则。这里有一个版本,它可以接受任意数量的参数,并递归地将它们合并到任意深度,而不使用任何对象突变。它使用以下规则来解决合并冲突:

字典优先于非字典值({"foo":{…}}优先于{"foo": "bar"}) 后面的参数优先于前面的参数(如果按顺序合并{"a": 1}, {"a", 2}和{"a": 3},结果将是{"a": 3})

    from collections import Mapping

    Mapping = dict

            updated[key] = merge_dicts(*maps)

            # otherwise, just grab the last value we have, since later arguments

            updated[key] = values[-1]                                               
    return updated  

还有一个轻微的变化:

下面是一个纯粹的基于python3集的深度更新函数。它通过一次循环遍历一层来更新嵌套字典,并调用自己来更新下一层的字典值:

def deep_update(dict_original, dict_update):
    if isinstance(dict_original, dict) and isinstance(dict_update, dict):
        output=dict(dict_original)
        keys_original=set(dict_original.keys())
        keys_update=set(dict_update.keys())
        similar_keys=keys_original.intersection(keys_update)
        similar_dict={key:deep_update(dict_original[key], dict_update[key]) for key in similar_keys}
        new_keys=keys_update.difference(keys_original)
        new_dict={key:dict_update[key] for key in new_keys}
        output.update(similar_dict)
        output.update(new_dict)
        return output
    else:
        return dict_update

举个简单的例子:

x={'a':{'b':{'c':1, 'd':1}}}
y={'a':{'b':{'d':2, 'e':2}}, 'f':2}

print(deep_update(x, y))
>>> {'a': {'b': {'c': 1, 'd': 2, 'e': 2}}, 'f': 2}
def m(a,b):
    aa = {
        k : dict(a.get(k,{}), **v) for k,v in b.items()
        }
    aap = print(aa)
    return aap

d1 = {1:{"a":"A"}, 2:{"b":"B"}}

d2 = {2:{"c":"C"}, 3:{"d":"D"}}

dict1 = {1:{"a":{1}}, 2:{"b":{2}}}

dict2 = {2:{"c":{222}}, 3:{"d":{3}}}

m(d1,d2)

m(dict1,dict2)

"""
Output :

{2: {'b': 'B', 'c': 'C'}, 3: {'d': 'D'}}


{2: {'b': {2}, 'c': {222}}, 3: {'d': {3}}}

"""

这应该有助于将所有项从dict2合并到dict1:

for item in dict2:
    if item in dict1:
        for leaf in dict2[item]:
            dict1[item][leaf] = dict2[item][leaf]
    else:
        dict1[item] = dict2[item]

请测试一下,告诉我们这是否是你想要的。

编辑:

上述解决方案只合并了一个级别,但正确地解决了op给出的例子。如果合并多个级别,应该使用递归。

基于@andrew cooke。这个版本处理字典的嵌套列表,还允许选项更新值
