*args和**kwargs是什么意思?

def foo(x, y, *args):
def bar(x, y, **kwargs):

当前回答

除了函数调用之外,*args和**kwargs在类层次结构中也很有用,并且还可以避免在Python中编写__init__方法。类似的用法可以在Django代码等框架中看到。

例如

def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
    for attribute_name, value in zip(self._expected_attributes, args):
        setattr(self, attribute_name, value)
        if kwargs.has_key(attribute_name):
            kwargs.pop(attribute_name)

    for attribute_name in kwargs.viewkeys():
        setattr(self, attribute_name, kwargs[attribute_name])

子类可以是

class RetailItem(Item):
    _expected_attributes = Item._expected_attributes + ['name', 'price', 'category', 'country_of_origin']

class FoodItem(RetailItem):
    _expected_attributes = RetailItem._expected_attributes +  ['expiry_date']

然后将子类实例化为

food_item = FoodItem(name = 'Jam', 
                     price = 12.0, 
                     category = 'Foods', 
                     country_of_origin = 'US', 
                     expiry_date = datetime.datetime.now())

此外,具有仅对该子类实例有意义的新属性的子类可以调用基类__init__来卸载属性设置。这是通过*args和**kwargs完成的。kwargs主要用于使用命名参数使代码可读。例如

class ElectronicAccessories(RetailItem):
    _expected_attributes = RetailItem._expected_attributes +  ['specifications']
    # Depend on args and kwargs to populate the data as needed.
    def __init__(self, specifications = None, *args, **kwargs):
        self.specifications = specifications  # Rest of attributes will make sense to parent class.
        super(ElectronicAccessories, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)

其可以被初始化为

usb_key = ElectronicAccessories(name = 'Sandisk', 
                                price = '$6.00', 
                                category = 'Electronics',
                                country_of_origin = 'CN',
                                specifications = '4GB USB 2.0/USB 3.0')

其他回答

在Python 3.5中,您还可以在列表、字典、元组和集合显示(有时也称为文字)中使用此语法。参见PEP 488:其他解包概括。

>>> (0, *range(1, 4), 5, *range(6, 8))
(0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7)
>>> [0, *range(1, 4), 5, *range(6, 8)]
[0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7]
>>> {0, *range(1, 4), 5, *range(6, 8)}
{0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7}
>>> d = {'one': 1, 'two': 2, 'three': 3}
>>> e = {'six': 6, 'seven': 7}
>>> {'zero': 0, **d, 'five': 5, **e}
{'five': 5, 'seven': 7, 'two': 2, 'one': 1, 'three': 3, 'six': 6, 'zero': 0}

它还允许在单个函数调用中解包多个可迭代项。

>>> range(*[1, 10], *[2])
range(1, 10, 2)

根据尼克的回答。。。

def foo(param1, *param2):
    print(param1)
    print(param2)


def bar(param1, **param2):
    print(param1)
    print(param2)


def three_params(param1, *param2, **param3):
    print(param1)
    print(param2)
    print(param3)


foo(1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
print("\n")
bar(1, a=2, b=3)
print("\n")
three_params(1, 2, 3, 4, s=5)

输出:

1
(2, 3, 4, 5)

1
{'a': 2, 'b': 3}

1
(2, 3, 4)
{'s': 5}

基本上,任何数量的位置参数都可以使用*args,任何命名参数(或kwargs又名关键字参数)都可以使用**kwargs。

*表示以元组形式接收变量参数

**表示接收变量参数作为字典

使用方式如下:

1) 单个*

def foo(*args):
    for arg in args:
        print(arg)

foo("two", 3)

输出:

two
3

2) 现在**

def bar(**kwargs):
    for key in kwargs:
        print(key, kwargs[key])

bar(dic1="two", dic2=3)

输出:

dic1 two
dic2 3

还值得注意的是,在调用函数时也可以使用*和**。这是一个快捷方式,允许您直接使用列表/元组或字典将多个参数传递给函数。例如,如果您具有以下功能:

def foo(x,y,z):
    print("x=" + str(x))
    print("y=" + str(y))
    print("z=" + str(z))

您可以执行以下操作:

>>> mylist = [1,2,3]
>>> foo(*mylist)
x=1
y=2
z=3

>>> mydict = {'x':1,'y':2,'z':3}
>>> foo(**mydict)
x=1
y=2
z=3

>>> mytuple = (1, 2, 3)
>>> foo(*mytuple)
x=1
y=2
z=3

注意:mydict中的键必须与函数foo的参数完全相同。否则将抛出TypeError:

>>> mydict = {'x':1,'y':2,'z':3,'badnews':9}
>>> foo(**mydict)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: foo() got an unexpected keyword argument 'badnews'

这个示例将帮助您立即记住Python中的*args、**kwargs甚至super和继承。

class base(object):
    def __init__(self, base_param):
        self.base_param = base_param


class child1(base): # inherited from base class
    def __init__(self, child_param, *args) # *args for non-keyword args
        self.child_param = child_param
        super(child1, self).__init__(*args) # call __init__ of the base class and initialize it with a NON-KEYWORD arg

class child2(base):
    def __init__(self, child_param, **kwargs):
        self.child_param = child_param
        super(child2, self).__init__(**kwargs) # call __init__ of the base class and initialize it with a KEYWORD arg

c1 = child1(1,0)
c2 = child2(1,base_param=0)
print c1.base_param # 0
print c1.child_param # 1
print c2.base_param # 0
print c2.child_param # 1
