使用正则表达式可能是最短的，但这个解决方案更具可读性:

def to_snake_case(s):
    snake = "".join(["_"+c.lower() if c.isupper() else c for c in s])
    return snake[1:] if snake.startswith("_") else snake

哇，我刚从django片段中偷了这个。ref http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/585/

很优雅

camelcase_to_underscore = lambda str: re.sub(r'(?<=[a-z])[A-Z]|[A-Z](?=[^A-Z])', r'_\g<0>', str).lower().strip('_')

例子:

camelcase_to_underscore('ThisUser')

返回:

'this_user'

就我个人而言，我不确定在python中使用正则表达式的任何东西都可以被描述为优雅。这里的大多数答案只是做“代码高尔夫”类型的RE技巧。优雅的编码应该是容易理解的。

def to_snake_case(not_snake_case):
    final = ''
    for i in xrange(len(not_snake_case)):
        item = not_snake_case[i]
        if i < len(not_snake_case) - 1:
            next_char_will_be_underscored = (
                not_snake_case[i+1] == "_" or
                not_snake_case[i+1] == " " or
                not_snake_case[i+1].isupper()
            )
        if (item == " " or item == "_") and next_char_will_be_underscored:
            continue
        elif (item == " " or item == "_"):
            final += "_"
        elif item.isupper():
            final += "_"+item.lower()
        else:
            final += item
    if final[0] == "_":
        final = final[1:]
    return final

>>> to_snake_case("RegularExpressionsAreFunky")
'regular_expressions_are_funky'

>>> to_snake_case("RegularExpressionsAre Funky")
'regular_expressions_are_funky'

>>> to_snake_case("RegularExpressionsAre_Funky")
'regular_expressions_are_funky'

在标准库中没有，但我发现这个模块似乎包含您需要的功能。

看一看优秀的Schematics库

https://github.com/schematics/schematics

它允许你创建类型化的数据结构，可以序列化/反序列化从python到Javascript风格，例如:

class MapPrice(Model):
    price_before_vat = DecimalType(serialized_name='priceBeforeVat')
    vat_rate = DecimalType(serialized_name='vatRate')
    vat = DecimalType()
    total_price = DecimalType(serialized_name='totalPrice')

def convert(camel_str):
    temp_list = []
    for letter in camel_str:
        if letter.islower():
            temp_list.append(letter)
        else:
            temp_list.append('_')
            temp_list.append(letter)
    result = "".join(temp_list)
    return result.lower()
