这是 Python 3.5 或更大的表达式,将使用 Reduction 的字典组合:

>>> from functools import reduce
>>> l = [{'a': 1}, {'b': 2}, {'a': 100, 'c': 3}]
>>> reduce(lambda x, y: {**x, **y}, l, {})
{'a': 100, 'b': 2, 'c': 3}

注意:即使字典列表是空的,或者只有一个元素。

在 Python 3.9 或更高版本中,Lambda 可以直接由 operator.ior 取代:

>>> from functools import reduce
>>> from operator import ior
>>> l = [{'a': 1}, {'b': 2}, {'a': 100, 'c': 3}]
>>> reduce(ior, l, {})
{'a': 100, 'b': 2, 'c': 3}

在 Python 3.8 或更低的情况下,可以使用下列作为 ior 的替代品:

>>> from functools import reduce
>>> l = [{'a': 1}, {'b': 2}, {'a': 100, 'c': 3}]
>>> reduce(lambda x, y: x.update(y) or x, l, {})
{'a': 100, 'b': 2, 'c': 3}

您可以使用 toolz.merge([x, y]) 为此。

深深的定律:

from typing import List, Dict
from copy import deepcopy

def merge_dicts(*from_dicts: List[Dict], no_copy: bool=False) -> Dict :
    """ no recursion deep merge of two dicts

    By default creates fresh Dict and merges all to it.

    no_copy = True, will merge all dicts to a fist one in a list without copy.
    Why? Sometime I need to combine one dictionary from "layers".
    The "layers" are not in use and dropped immediately after merging.
    """

    if no_copy:
        xerox = lambda x:x
    else:
        xerox = deepcopy

    result = xerox(from_dicts[0])

    for _from in from_dicts[1:]:
        merge_queue = [(result, _from)]
        for _to, _from in merge_queue:
            for k, v in _from.items():
                if k in _to and isinstance(_to[k], dict) and isinstance(v, dict):
                    # key collision add both are dicts.
                    # add to merging queue
                    merge_queue.append((_to[k], v))
                    continue
                _to[k] = xerox(v)

    return result

使用:

print("=============================")
print("merge all dicts to first one without copy.")
a0 = {"a":{"b":1}}
a1 = {"a":{"c":{"d":4}}}
a2 = {"a":{"c":{"f":5}, "d": 6}}
print(f"a0 id[{id(a0)}] value:{a0}")
print(f"a1 id[{id(a1)}] value:{a1}")
print(f"a2 id[{id(a2)}] value:{a2}")
r = merge_dicts(a0, a1, a2, no_copy=True)
print(f"r  id[{id(r)}] value:{r}")

print("=============================")
print("create fresh copy of all")
a0 = {"a":{"b":1}}
a1 = {"a":{"c":{"d":4}}}
a2 = {"a":{"c":{"f":5}, "d": 6}}
print(f"a0 id[{id(a0)}] value:{a0}")
print(f"a1 id[{id(a1)}] value:{a1}")
print(f"a2 id[{id(a2)}] value:{a2}")
r = merge_dicts(a0, a1, a2)
print(f"r  id[{id(r)}] value:{r}")

重复 / 深度更新 a dict

def deepupdate(original, update):
    """
    Recursively update a dict.
    Subdict's won't be overwritten but also updated.
    """
    for key, value in original.iteritems(): 
        if key not in update:
            update[key] = value
        elif isinstance(value, dict):
            deepupdate(value, update[key]) 
    return update

示威:

pluto_original = {
    'name': 'Pluto',
    'details': {
        'tail': True,
        'color': 'orange'
    }
}

pluto_update = {
    'name': 'Pluutoo',
    'details': {
        'color': 'blue'
    }
}

print deepupdate(pluto_original, pluto_update)

结果:

{
    'name': 'Pluutoo',
    'details': {
        'color': 'blue',
        'tail': True
    }
}

谢谢Radnaw的编辑。

一个方法是深合的. 使用操作员在 3.9+ 用于使用案例的 dict 新是默认设置的组合,而 dict 现有是使用的现有设置的组合. 我的目标是融入任何添加设置从新没有过写现有设置在现有. 我相信这个重复的实施将允许一个升级一个 dict 与新的值从另一个 dict。

def merge_dict_recursive(new: dict, existing: dict):
    merged = new | existing

    for k, v in merged.items():
        if isinstance(v, dict):
            if k not in existing:
                # The key is not in existing dict at all, so add entire value
                existing[k] = new[k]

            merged[k] = merge_dict_recursive(new[k], existing[k])
    return merged

示例测试数据:

new
{'dashboard': True,
 'depth': {'a': 1, 'b': 22222, 'c': {'d': {'e': 69}}},
 'intro': 'this is the dashboard',
 'newkey': False,
 'show_closed_sessions': False,
 'version': None,
 'visible_sessions_limit': 9999}
existing
{'dashboard': True,
 'depth': {'a': 5},
 'intro': 'this is the dashboard',
 'newkey': True,
 'show_closed_sessions': False,
 'version': '2021-08-22 12:00:30.531038+00:00'}
merged
{'dashboard': True,
 'depth': {'a': 5, 'b': 22222, 'c': {'d': {'e': 69}}},
 'intro': 'this is the dashboard',
 'newkey': True,
 'show_closed_sessions': False,
 'version': '2021-08-22 12:00:30.531038+00:00',
 'visible_sessions_limit': 9999}

这个问题被标签为Python-3x,但考虑到这是一个相对较新的补充,并且最受欢迎的,接受的答案与Python 2.x解决方案广泛处理,我敢添加一个线条,引用一个令人兴奋的功能的Python 2.x列表理解,即名字泄漏。
