Dictionary view objects简介
The objects returned by dict.viewkeys(), dict.viewvalues() and dict.viewitems() are view ob-
jects. They provide a dynamic view on the dictionary’s entries, which means that when the dictionary changes, the
view reflects these changes.
Dictionary views can be iterated over to yield their respective data, and support membership tests:
len(dictview)
Return the number of entries in the dictionary.
iter(dictview)
Return an iterator over the keys, values or items (represented as tuples of (key, value)) in the dictionary.
Keys and values are iterated over in an arbitrary order which is non-random, varies across Python implementa-
tions, and depends on the dictionary’s history of insertions and deletions. If keys, values and items views are
iterated over with no intervening modifications to the dictionary, the order of items will directly correspond. This
allows the creation of (value, key) pairs using zip(): pairs = zip(d.values(), d.keys()).
Another way to create the same list is pairs = [(v, k) for (k, v) in d.items()].
Iterating views while adding or deleting entries in the dictionary may raise a RuntimeError or fail to iterate
over all entries.
x in dictview
Return True if x is in the underlying dictionary’s keys, values or items (in the latter case, x should be a (key,
value) tuple).
Keys views are set-like since their entries are unique and hashable. If all values are hashable, so that (key, value) pairs
are unique and hashable, then the items view is also set-like. (Values views are not treated as set-like since the entries
are generally not unique.) Then these set operations are available (“other” refers either to another view or a set):
dictview & other
Return the intersection of the dictview and the other object as a new set.
dictview | other
Return the union of the dictview and the other object as a new set.
dictview - other
Return the difference between the dictview and the other object (all elements in dictview that aren’t in other) as
a new set.
dictview ^ other
Return the symmetric difference (all elements either in dictview or other, but not in both) of the dictview and
the other object as a new set.
An example of dictionary view usage:
>>> dishes = {'eggs': 2, 'sausage': 1, 'bacon': 1, 'spam': 500}
>>> keys = dishes.viewkeys()
>>> values = dishes.viewvalues()
>>> # iteration
>>> n = 0
>>> for val in values:
... n += val
>>> print(n)
504
>>> # keys and values are iterated over in the same order
>>> list(keys)
['eggs', 'bacon', 'sausage', 'spam']
>>> list(values)
[2, 1, 1, 500]
>>> # view objects are dynamic and reflect dict changes
>>> del dishes['eggs']
>>> del dishes['sausage']
>>> list(keys)
['spam', 'bacon']
>>> # set operations
>>> keys & {'eggs', 'bacon', 'salad'}
{'bacon'}
