最近有许多小伙伴后台联系我，说目前想要学习Python，但是没有一份很好的资料入门。一方面的确现在市面上Python的资料过多，导致新手会不知如何选择，另一个问题很多资料内容也很杂，从1+1到深度学习都包括，纯粹关注Python本身语法的优质教材并不太多。

刚好我最近看到一份不错的英文Python入门资料，我将它做了一些整理和翻译写下了本文。这份资料非常纯粹，只有Python的基础语法，专门针对想要学习Python的小白。

注释

Python中用#表示单行注释，#之后的同行的内容都会被注释掉。

# Python中单行注释用#表示，#之后同行字符全部认为被注释。

使用三个连续的双引号表示多行注释，两个多行注释标识之间内容会被视作是注释。

""" 与之对应的是多行注释
    用三个双引号表示，这两段双引号当中的内容都会被视作是注释
"""

基础变量类型与操作符

Python当中的数字定义和其他语言一样：

#获得一个整数
3
# 获得一个浮点数
10.0

我们分别使用+, -, *, /表示加减乘除四则运算符。

1 + 1   # => 2
8 - 1   # => 7
10 * 2  # => 20
35 / 5  # => 7.0

这里要注意的是，在Python2当中，10/3这个操作会得到3，而不是3.33333。因为除数和被除数都是整数，所以Python会自动执行整数的计算，帮我们把得到的商取整。如果是10.0 / 3，就会得到3.33333。目前Python2已经不再维护了，可以不用关心其中的细节。

但问题是Python是一个弱类型的语言，如果我们在一个函数当中得到两个变量，是无法直接判断它们的类型的。这就导致了同样的计算符可能会得到不同的结果，这非常蛋疼。以至于程序员在运算除法的时候，往往都需要手工加上类型转化符，将被除数转成浮点数。

在Python3当中拨乱反正，修正了这个问题，即使是两个整数相除，并且可以整除的情况下，得到的结果也一定是浮点数。

如果我们想要得到整数，我们可以这么操作：

5 // 3       # => 1
-5 // 3      # => -2
5.0 // 3.0   # => 1.0 # works on floats too
-5.0 // 3.0  # => -2.0

两个除号表示取整除，Python会为我们保留去除余数的结果。

除了取整除操作之外还有取余数操作，数学上称为取模，Python中用%表示。

# Modulo operation
7 % 3  # => 1

Python中支持乘方运算，我们可以不用调用额外的函数，而使用**符号来完成：

# Exponentiation (x**y, x to the yth power)
2**3  # => 8

当运算比较复杂的时候，我们可以用括号来强制改变运算顺序。

# Enforce precedence with parentheses
1 + 3 * 2  # => 7
(1 + 3) * 2  # => 8

逻辑运算

Python中用首字母大写的True和False表示真和假。

True  # => True
False  # => False

用and表示与操作，or表示或操作，not表示非操作。而不是C++或者是Java当中的&&, || 和！。

# negate with not
not True   # => False
not False  # => True

# Boolean Operators
# Note "and" and "or" are case-sensitive
True and False  # => False
False or True   # => True

在Python底层，True和False其实是1和0，所以如果我们执行以下操作，是不会报错的，但是在逻辑上毫无意义。

# True and False are actually 1 and 0 but with different keywords
True + True # => 2
True * 8    # => 8
False - 5   # => -5

我们用==判断相等的操作，可以看出来True==1， False == 0.

# Comparison operators look at the numerical value of True and False
0 == False  # => True
1 == True   # => True
2 == True   # => False
-5 != False # => True

我们要小心Python当中的bool()这个函数，它并不是转成bool类型的意思。如果我们执行这个函数，那么只有0会被视作是False，其他所有数值都是True：

bool(0)     # => False
bool(4)     # => True
bool(-6)    # => True
0 and 2     # => 0
-5 or 0     # => -5

Python中用==判断相等，>表示大于，>=表示大于等于， <表示小于，<=表示小于等于，!=表示不等。

# Equality is ==
1 == 1  # => True
2 == 1  # => False

# Inequality is !=
1 != 1  # => False
2 != 1  # => True

# More comparisons
1 < 10  # => True
1 > 10  # => False
2 <= 2  # => True
2 >= 2  # => True

我们可以用and和or拼装各个逻辑运算：

# Seeing whether a value is in a range
1 < 2 and 2 < 3  # => True
2 < 3 and 3 < 2  # => False
# Chaining makes this look nicer
1 < 2 < 3  # => True
2 < 3 < 2  # => False

注意not，and，or之间的优先级，其中not > and > or。如果分不清楚的话，可以用括号强行改变运行顺序。

list和字符串

关于list的判断，我们常用的判断有两种，一种是刚才介绍的==，还有一种是is。我们有时候也会简单实用is来判断，那么这两者有什么区别呢？我们来看下面的例子：

a = [1, 2, 3, 4]  # Point a at a new list, [1, 2, 3, 4]
b = a             # Point b at what a is pointing to
b is a            # => True, a and b refer to the same object
b == a            # => True, a's and b's objects are equal
b = [1, 2, 3, 4]  # Point b at a new list, [1, 2, 3, 4]
b is a            # => False, a and b do not refer to the same object
b == a            # => True, a's and b's objects are equal

Python是全引用的语言，其中的对象都使用引用来表示。is判断的就是两个引用是否指向同一个对象，而==则是判断两个引用指向的具体内容是否相等。举个例子，如果我们把引用比喻成地址的话，is就是判断两个变量的是否指向同一个地址，比如说都是沿河东路XX号。而==则是判断这两个地址的收件人是否都叫张三。

显然，住在同一个地址的人一定都叫张三，但是住在不同地址的两个人也可以都叫张三，也可以叫不同的名字。所以如果a is b，那么a == b一定成立，反之则不然。

Python当中对字符串的限制比较松，双引号和单引号都可以表示字符串，看个人喜好使用单引号或者是双引号。我个人比较喜欢单引号，因为写起来方便。

字符串也支持+操作，表示两个字符串相连。除此之外，我们把两个字符串写在一起，即使没有+，Python也会为我们拼接：

# Strings are created with " or '
"This is a string."
'This is also a string.'

# Strings can be added too! But try not to do this.
"Hello " + "world!"  # => "Hello world!"
# String literals (but not variables) can be concatenated without using '+'
"Hello " "world!"    # => "Hello world!"

我们可以使用[]来查找字符串当中某个位置的字符，用len来计算字符串的长度。

# A string can be treated like a list of characters
"This is a string"[0]  # => 'T'

# You can find the length of a string
len("This is a string")  # => 16

我们可以在字符串前面加上f表示格式操作，并且在格式操作当中也支持运算，比如可以嵌套上len函数等。不过要注意，只有Python3.6以上的版本支持f操作。

# You can also format using f-strings or formatted string literals (in Python 3.6+)
name = "Reiko"
f"She said her name is {name}." # => "She said her name is Reiko"
# You can basically put any Python statement inside the braces and it will be output in the string.
f"{name} is {len(name)} characters long." # => "Reiko is 5 characters long."

最后是None的判断，在Python当中None也是一个对象，所有为None的变量都会指向这个对象。根据我们前面所说的，既然所有的None都指向同一个地址，我们需要判断一个变量是否是None的时候，可以使用is来进行判断，当然用==也是可以的，不过我们通常使用is。

# None is an object
None  # => None

# Don't use the equality "==" symbol to compare objects to None
# Use "is" instead. This checks for equality of object identity.
"etc" is None  # => False
None is None   # => True

理解了None之后，我们再回到之前介绍过的bool()函数，它的用途其实就是判断值是否是空。所有类型的默认空值会被返回False，否则都是True。比如0，""，[], {}, ()等。

# None, 0, and empty strings/lists/dicts/tuples all evaluate to False.
# All other values are True
bool(None)# => False
bool(0)   # => False
bool("")  # => False
bool([])  # => False
bool({})  # => False
bool(())  # => False

除了上面这些值以外的所有值传入都会得到True。

变量与集合

输入输出

Python当中的标准输入输出是input和print。

print会输出一个字符串，如果传入的不是字符串会自动调用__str__方法转成字符串进行输出。默认输出会自动换行，如果想要以不同的字符结尾代替换行，可以传入end参数：

# Python has a print function
print("I'm Python. Nice to meet you!")  # => I'm Python. Nice to meet you!

# By default the print function also prints out a newline at the end.
# Use the optional argument end to change the end string.
print("Hello, World", end="!")  # => Hello, World!

使用input时，Python会在命令行接收一行字符串作为输入。可以在input当中传入字符串，会被当成提示输出：

# Simple way to get input data from console
input_string_var = input("Enter some data: ") # Returns the data as a string
# Note: In earlier versions of Python, input() method was named as raw_input()

变量

Python中声明对象不需要带上类型，直接赋值即可，Python会自动关联类型，如果我们使用之前没有声明过的变量则会出发NameError异常。

# There are no declarations, only assignments.
# Convention is to use lower_case_with_underscores
some_var = 5
some_var  # => 5

# Accessing a previously unassigned variable is an exception.
# See Control Flow to learn more about exception handling.
some_unknown_var  # Raises a NameError

Python支持三元表达式，但是语法和C++不同，使用if else结构，写成：

# if can be used as an expression
# Equivalent of C's '?:' ternary operator
"yahoo!" if 3 > 2 else 2  # => "yahoo!"

上段代码等价于：

if 3 > 2:
    return 'yahoo'
else:
    return 2

list

Python中用[]表示空的list，我们也可以直接在其中填充元素进行初始化：

# Lists store sequences
li = []
# You can start with a prefilled list
other_li = [4, 5, 6]

使用append和pop可以在list的末尾插入或者删除元素：

# Add stuff to the end of a list with append
li.append(1)    # li is now [1]
li.append(2)    # li is now [1, 2]
li.append(4)    # li is now [1, 2, 4]
li.append(3)    # li is now [1, 2, 4, 3]
# Remove from the end with pop
li.pop()        # => 3 and li is now [1, 2, 4]
# Let's put it back
li.append(3)    # li is now [1, 2, 4, 3] again.

list可以通过[]加上下标访问指定位置的元素，如果是负数，则表示倒序访问。-1表示最后一个元素，-2表示倒数第二个，以此类推。如果访问的元素超过数组长度，则会出发IndexError的错误。

# Access a list like you would any array
li[0]   # => 1
# Look at the last element
li[-1]  # => 3

# Looking out of bounds is an IndexError
li[4]  # Raises an IndexError

list支持切片操作，所谓的切片则是从原list当中拷贝出指定的一段。我们用start: end的格式来获取切片，注意，这是一个左闭右开区间。如果留空表示全部获取，我们也可以额外再加入一个参数表示步长，比如[1:5:2]表示从1号位置开始，步长为2获取元素。得到的结果为[1, 3]。如果步长设置成-1则代表反向遍历。

# You can look at ranges with slice syntax.
# The start index is included, the end index is not
# (It's a closed/open range for you mathy types.)
li[1:3]   # Return list from index 1 to 3 => [2, 4]
li[2:]    # Return list starting from index 2 => [4, 3]
li[:3]    # Return list from beginning until index 3  => [1, 2, 4]
li[::2]   # Return list selecting every second entry => [1, 4]
li[::-1]  # Return list in reverse order => [3, 4, 2, 1]
# Use any combination of these to make advanced slices
# li[start:end:step]

如果我们要指定一段区间倒序，则前面的start和end也需要反过来，例如我想要获取[3: 6]区间的倒序，应该写成[6:3:-1]。

只写一个:，表示全部拷贝，如果用is判断拷贝前后的list会得到False。可以使用del删除指定位置的元素，或者可以使用remove方法。

# Make a one layer deep copy using slices
li2 = li[:]  # => li2 = [1, 2, 4, 3] but (li2 is li) will result in false.

# Remove arbitrary elements from a list with "del"
del li[2]  # li is now [1, 2, 3]

# Remove first occurrence of a value
li.remove(2)  # li is now [1, 3]
li.remove(2)  # Raises a ValueError as 2 is not in the list

insert方法可以指定位置插入元素，index方法可以查询某个元素第一次出现的下标。

# Insert an element at a specific index
li.insert(1, 2)  # li is now [1, 2, 3] again

# Get the index of the first item found matching the argument
li.index(2)  # => 1
li.index(4)  # Raises a ValueError as 4 is not in the list

list可以进行加法运算，两个list相加表示list当中的元素合并。等价于使用extend方法：

# You can add lists
# Note: values for li and for other_li are not modified.
li + other_li  # => [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

# Concatenate lists with "extend()"
li.extend(other_li)  # Now li is [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

我们想要判断元素是否在list中出现，可以使用in关键字，通过使用len计算list的长度：

# Check for existence in a list with "in"
1 in li  # => True

# Examine the length with "len()"
len(li)  # => 6

tuple

tuple和list非常接近，tuple通过()初始化。和list不同，tuple是不可变对象。也就是说tuple一旦生成不可以改变。如果我们修改tuple，会引发TypeError异常。

# Tuples are like lists but are immutable.
tup = (1, 2, 3)
tup[0]      # => 1
tup[0] = 3  # Raises a TypeError

由于小括号是有改变优先级的含义，所以我们定义单个元素的tuple，末尾必须加上逗号，否则会被当成是单个元素：

# Note that a tuple of length one has to have a comma after the last element but
# tuples of other lengths, even zero, do not.
type((1))   # => <class 'int'>
type((1,))  # => <class 'tuple'>
type(())    # => <class 'tuple'>

tuple支持list当中绝大部分操作：

# You can do most of the list operations on tuples too
len(tup)         # => 3
tup + (4, 5, 6)  # => (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)
tup[:2]          # => (1, 2)
2 in tup         # => True

我们可以用多个变量来解压一个tuple：

# You can unpack tuples (or lists) into variables
a, b, c = (1, 2, 3)  # a is now 1, b is now 2 and c is now 3
# You can also do extended unpacking
a, *b, c = (1, 2, 3, 4)  # a is now 1, b is now [2, 3] and c is now 4
# Tuples are created by default if you leave out the parentheses
d, e, f = 4, 5, 6  # tuple 4, 5, 6 is unpacked into variables d, e and f
# respectively such that d = 4, e = 5 and f = 6
# Now look how easy it is to swap two values
e, d = d, e  # d is now 5 and e is now 4

解释一下这行代码：

a, *b, c = (1, 2, 3, 4)  # a is now 1, b is now [2, 3] and c is now 4

我们在b的前面加上了星号，表示这是一个list。所以Python会在将其他变量对应上值的情况下，将剩下的元素都赋值给b。

补充一点，tuple本身虽然是不可变的，但是tuple当中的可变元素是可以改变的。比如我们有这样一个tuple：

a = (3, [4])

我们虽然不能往a当中添加或者删除元素，但是a当中含有一个list，我们可以改变这个list类型的元素，这并不会触发tuple的异常：

a[1].append(0) # 这是合法的

dict

dict也是Python当中经常使用的容器，它等价于C++当中的map，即存储key和value的键值对。我们用{}表示一个dict，用:分隔key和value。

# Dictionaries store mappings from keys to values
empty_dict = {}
# Here is a prefilled dictionary
filled_dict = {"one": 1, "two": 2, "three": 3}

dict的key必须为不可变对象，所以list、set和dict不可以作为另一个dict的key，否则会抛出异常：

# Note keys for dictionaries have to be immutable types. This is to ensure that
# the key can be converted to a constant hash value for quick look-ups.
# Immutable types include ints, floats, strings, tuples.
invalid_dict = {[1,2,3]: "123"}  # => Raises a TypeError: unhashable type: 'list'
valid_dict = {(1,2,3):[1,2,3]}   # Values can be of any type, however.

我们同样用[]查找dict当中的元素，我们传入key，获得value，等价于get方法。

# Look up values with []
filled_dict["one"]  # => 1
filled_dict.get('one') #=> 1

我们可以call dict当中的keys和values方法，获取dict当中的所有key和value的集合，会得到一个list。在Python3.7以下版本当中，返回的结果的顺序可能和插入顺序不同，在Python3.7及以上版本中，Python会保证返回的顺序和插入顺序一致：

# Get all keys as an iterable with "keys()". We need to wrap the call in list()
# to turn it into a list. We'll talk about those later.  Note - for Python
# versions <3.7, dictionary key ordering is not guaranteed. Your results might
# not match the example below exactly. However, as of Python 3.7, dictionary
# items maintain the order at which they are inserted into the dictionary.
list(filled_dict.keys())  # => ["three", "two", "one"] in Python <3.7
list(filled_dict.keys())  # => ["one", "two", "three"] in Python 3.7+

# Get all values as an iterable with "values()". Once again we need to wrap it
# in list() to get it out of the iterable. Note - Same as above regarding key
# ordering.
list(filled_dict.values())  # => [3, 2, 1]  in Python <3.7
list(filled_dict.values())  # => [1, 2, 3] in Python 3.7+

我们也可以用in判断一个key是否在dict当中，注意只能判断key。

# Check for existence of keys in a dictionary with "in"
"one" in filled_dict  # => True
1 in filled_dict      # => False

如果使用[]查找不存在的key，会引发KeyError的异常。如果使用get方法则不会引起异常，只会得到一个None：

# Looking up a non-existing key is a KeyError
filled_dict["four"]  # KeyError

# Use "get()" method to avoid the KeyError
filled_dict.get("one")      # => 1
filled_dict.get("four")     # => None
# The get method supports a default argument when the value is missing
filled_dict.get("one", 4)   # => 1
filled_dict.get("four", 4)  # => 4

setdefault方法可以为不存在的key插入一个value，如果key已经存在，则不会覆盖它：

# "setdefault()" inserts into a dictionary only if the given key isn't present
filled_dict.setdefault("five", 5)  # filled_dict["five"] is set to 5
filled_dict.setdefault("five", 6)  # filled_dict["five"] is still 5

我们可以使用update方法用另外一个dict来更新当前dict，比如a.update(b)。对于a和b交集的key会被b覆盖，a当中不存在的key会被插入进来：

# Adding to a dictionary
filled_dict.update({"four":4})  # => {"one": 1, "two": 2, "three": 3, "four": 4}
filled_dict["four"] = 4         # another way to add to dict

我们一样可以使用del删除dict当中的元素，同样只能传入key。

Python3.5以上的版本支持使用**来解压一个dict：

{'a': 1, **{'b': 2}}  # => {'a': 1, 'b': 2}
{'a': 1, **{'a': 2}}  # => {'a': 2}

set

set是用来存储不重复元素的容器，当中的元素都是不同的，相同的元素会被删除。我们可以通过set()，或者通过{}来进行初始化。注意当我们使用{}的时候，必须要传入数据，否则Python会将它和dict弄混。

# Sets store ... well sets
empty_set = set()
# Initialize a set with a bunch of values. Yeah, it looks a bit like a dict. Sorry.
some_set = {1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 4}  # some_set is now {1, 2, 3, 4}

set当中的元素也必须是不可变对象，因此list不能传入set。

# Similar to keys of a dictionary, elements of a set have to be immutable.
invalid_set = {[1], 1}  # => Raises a TypeError: unhashable type: 'list'
valid_set = {(1,), 1}

可以调用add方法为set插入元素：

# Add one more item to the set
filled_set = some_set
filled_set.add(5)  # filled_set is now {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
# Sets do not have duplicate elements
filled_set.add(5)  # it remains as before {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

set还可以被认为是集合，所以它还支持一些集合交叉并补的操作。

# Do set intersection with &
# 计算交集
other_set = {3, 4, 5, 6}
filled_set & other_set  # => {3, 4, 5}

# Do set union with |
# 计算并集
filled_set | other_set  # => {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

# Do set difference with -
# 计算差集
{1, 2, 3, 4} - {2, 3, 5}  # => {1, 4}

# Do set symmetric difference with ^
# 这个有点特殊，计算对称集，也就是去掉重复元素剩下的内容
{1, 2, 3, 4} ^ {2, 3, 5}  # => {1, 4, 5}

set还支持超集和子集的判断，我们可以用大于等于和小于等于号判断一个set是不是另一个的超集或子集：

# Check if set on the left is a superset of set on the right
{1, 2} >= {1, 2, 3} # => False

# Check if set on the left is a subset of set on the right
{1, 2} <= {1, 2, 3} # => True

和dict一样，我们可以使用in判断元素在不在set当中。用copy可以拷贝一个set。

# Check for existence in a set with in
2 in filled_set   # => True
10 in filled_set  # => False

# Make a one layer deep copy
filled_set = some_set.copy()  # filled_set is {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
filled_set is some_set        # => False

控制流和迭代

判断语句

Python当中的判断语句非常简单，并且Python不支持switch，所以即使是多个条件，我们也只能罗列if-else。

# Let's just make a variable
some_var = 5

# Here is an if statement. Indentation is significant in Python!
# Convention is to use four spaces, not tabs.
# This prints "some_var is smaller than 10"
if some_var > 10:
    print("some_var is totally bigger than 10.")
elif some_var < 10:    # This elif clause is optional.
    print("some_var is smaller than 10.")
else:                  # This is optional too.
    print("some_var is indeed 10.")

循环

我们可以用in来循环迭代一个list当中的内容，这也是Python当中基本的循环方式。


"""
For loops iterate over lists
prints:
    dog is a mammal
    cat is a mammal
    mouse is a mammal
"""
for animal in ["dog", "cat", "mouse"]:
    # You can use format() to interpolate formatted strings
    print("{} is a mammal".format(animal))

如果我们要循环一个范围，可以使用range。range加上一个参数表示从0开始的序列，比如range(10)，表示[0, 10)区间内的所有整数：

"""
"range(number)" returns an iterable of numbers
from zero to the given number
prints:
    0
    1
    2
    3
"""
for i in range(4):
    print(i)

如果我们传入两个参数，则代表迭代区间的首尾。

"""
"range(lower, upper)" returns an iterable of numbers
from the lower number to the upper number
prints:
    4
    5
    6
    7
"""
for i in range(4, 8):
    print(i)

如果我们传入第三个元素，表示每次循环变量自增的步长。

"""
"range(lower, upper, step)" returns an iterable of numbers
from the lower number to the upper number, while incrementing
by step. If step is not indicated, the default value is 1.
prints:
    4
    6
"""
for i in range(4, 8, 2):
    print(i)

如果使用enumerate函数，可以同时迭代一个list的下标和元素：

"""
To loop over a list, and retrieve both the index and the value of each item in the list
prints:
    0 dog
    1 cat
    2 mouse
"""
animals = ["dog", "cat", "mouse"]
for i, value in enumerate(animals):
    print(i, value)

while循环和C++类似，当条件为True时执行，为false时退出。并且判断条件不需要加上括号：

"""
While loops go until a condition is no longer met.
prints:
    0
    1
    2
    3
"""
x = 0
while x < 4:
    print(x)
    x += 1  # Shorthand for x = x + 1

捕获异常

Python当中使用try和except捕获异常，我们可以在except后面限制异常的类型。如果有多个类型可以写多个except，还可以使用else语句表示其他所有的类型。finally语句内的语法无论是否会触发异常都必定执行：

# Handle exceptions with a try/except block
try:
    # Use "raise" to raise an error
    raise IndexError("This is an index error")
except IndexError as e:
    pass                 # Pass is just a no-op. Usually you would do recovery here.
except (TypeError, NameError):
    pass                 # Multiple exceptions can be handled together, if required.
else:                    # Optional clause to the try/except block. Must follow all except blocks
    print("All good!")   # Runs only if the code in try raises no exceptions
finally:                 #  Execute under all circumstances
    print("We can clean up resources here")

with操作

在Python当中我们经常会使用资源，最常见的就是open打开一个文件。我们打开了文件句柄就一定要关闭，但是如果我们手动来编码，经常会忘记执行close操作。并且如果文件异常，还会触发异常。这个时候我们可以使用with语句来代替这部分处理，使用with会自动在with块执行结束或者是触发异常时关闭打开的资源。

以下是with的几种用法和功能：

# Instead of try/finally to cleanup resources you can use a with statement
# 代替使用try/finally语句来关闭资源
with open("myfile.txt") as f:
    for line in f:
        print(line)

# Writing to a file
# 使用with写入文件
contents = {"aa": 12, "bb": 21}
with open("myfile1.txt", "w+") as file:
    file.write(str(contents))        # writes a string to a file

with open("myfile2.txt", "w+") as file:
    file.write(json.dumps(contents)) # writes an object to a file

# Reading from a file
# 使用with读取文件
with open('myfile1.txt', "r+") as file:
    contents = file.read()           # reads a string from a file
print(contents)
# print: {"aa": 12, "bb": 21}

with open('myfile2.txt', "r+") as file:
    contents = json.load(file)       # reads a json object from a file
print(contents)     
# print: {"aa": 12, "bb": 21}

可迭代对象

凡是可以使用in语句来迭代的对象都叫做可迭代对象，它和迭代器不是一个含义。这里只有可迭代对象的介绍，想要了解迭代器的具体内容，请移步传送门：

Python——五分钟带你弄懂迭代器与生成器，夯实代码能力

当我们调用dict当中的keys方法的时候，返回的结果就是一个可迭代对象。

# Python offers a fundamental abstraction called the Iterable.
# An iterable is an object that can be treated as a sequence.
# The object returned by the range function, is an iterable.

filled_dict = {"one": 1, "two": 2, "three": 3}
our_iterable = filled_dict.keys()
print(our_iterable)  # => dict_keys(['one', 'two', 'three']). This is an object that implements our Iterable interface.

# We can loop over it.
for i in our_iterable:
    print(i)  # Prints one, two, three

我们不能使用下标来访问可迭代对象，但我们可以用iter将它转化成迭代器，使用next关键字来获取下一个元素。也可以将它转化成list类型，变成一个list。

# However we cannot address elements by index.
our_iterable[1]  # Raises a TypeError

# An iterable is an object that knows how to create an iterator.
our_iterator = iter(our_iterable)

# Our iterator is an object that can remember the state as we traverse through it.
# We get the next object with "next()".
next(our_iterator)  # => "one"

# It maintains state as we iterate.
next(our_iterator)  # => "two"
next(our_iterator)  # => "three"

# After the iterator has returned all of its data, it raises a StopIteration exception
next(our_iterator)  # Raises StopIteration

# We can also loop over it, in fact, "for" does this implicitly!
our_iterator = iter(our_iterable)
for i in our_iterator:
    print(i)  # Prints one, two, three

# You can grab all the elements of an iterable or iterator by calling list() on it.
list(our_iterable)  # => Returns ["one", "two", "three"]
list(our_iterator)  # => Returns [] because state is saved

函数

使用def关键字来定义函数，我们在传参的时候如果指定函数内的参数名，可以不按照函数定义的顺序传参：

# Use "def" to create new functions
def add(x, y):
    print("x is {} and y is {}".format(x, y))
    return x + y  # Return values with a return statement

# Calling functions with parameters
add(5, 6)  # => prints out "x is 5 and y is 6" and returns 11

# Another way to call functions is with keyword arguments
add(y=6, x=5)  # Keyword arguments can arrive in any order.

可以在参数名之前加上*表示任意长度的参数，参数会被转化成list：

# You can define functions that take a variable number of
# positional arguments
def varargs(*args):
    return args

varargs(1, 2, 3)  # => (1, 2, 3)

也可以指定任意长度的关键字参数，在参数前加上**表示接受一个dict：

# You can define functions that take a variable number of
# keyword arguments, as well
def keyword_args(**kwargs):
    return kwargs

# Let's call it to see what happens
keyword_args(big="foot", loch="ness")  # => {"big": "foot", "loch": "ness"}

当然我们也可以两个都用上，这样可以接受任何参数：

# You can do both at once, if you like
def all_the_args(*args, **kwargs):
    print(args)
    print(kwargs)
"""
all_the_args(1, 2, a=3, b=4) prints:
    (1, 2)
    {"a": 3, "b": 4}
"""

传入参数的时候我们也可以使用*和**来解压list或者是dict：

# When calling functions, you can do the opposite of args/kwargs!
# Use * to expand tuples and use ** to expand kwargs.
args = (1, 2, 3, 4)
kwargs = {"a": 3, "b": 4}
all_the_args(*args)            # equivalent to all_the_args(1, 2, 3, 4)
all_the_args(**kwargs)         # equivalent to all_the_args(a=3, b=4)
all_the_args(*args, **kwargs)  # equivalent to all_the_args(1, 2, 3, 4, a=3, b=4)

Python中的参数可以返回多个值：

# Returning multiple values (with tuple assignments)
def swap(x, y):
    return y, x  # Return multiple values as a tuple without the parenthesis.
                 # (Note: parenthesis have been excluded but can be included)

x = 1
y = 2
x, y = swap(x, y)     # => x = 2, y = 1
# (x, y) = swap(x,y)  # Again parenthesis have been excluded but can be included.

函数内部定义的变量即使和全局变量重名，也不会覆盖全局变量的值。想要在函数内部使用全局变量，需要加上global关键字，表示这是一个全局变量：

# Function Scope
x = 5

def set_x(num):
    # Local var x not the same as global variable x
    x = num    # => 43
    print(x)   # => 43

def set_global_x(num):
    global x
    print(x)   # => 5
    x = num    # global var x is now set to 6
    print(x)   # => 6

set_x(43)
set_global_x(6)

Python支持函数式编程，我们可以在一个函数内部返回一个函数：

# Python has first class functions
def create_adder(x):
    def adder(y):
        return x + y
    return adder

add_10 = create_adder(10)
add_10(3)   # => 13

Python中可以使用lambda表示匿名函数，使用:作为分隔，:前面表示匿名函数的参数，:后面的是函数的返回值：

# There are also anonymous functions
(lambda x: x > 2)(3)                  # => True
(lambda x, y: x ** 2 + y ** 2)(2, 1)  # => 5

我们还可以将函数作为参数使用map和filter，实现元素的批量处理和过滤。关于Python中map、reduce和filter的使用，具体可以查看之前的文章：

五分钟带你了解map、reduce和filter

# There are built-in higher order functions
list(map(add_10, [1, 2, 3]))          # => [11, 12, 13]
list(map(max, [1, 2, 3], [4, 2, 1]))  # => [4, 2, 3]

list(filter(lambda x: x > 5, [3, 4, 5, 6, 7]))  # => [6, 7]

我们还可以结合循环和判断语来给list或者是dict进行初始化：

# We can use list comprehensions for nice maps and filters
# List comprehension stores the output as a list which can itself be a nested list
[add_10(i) for i in [1, 2, 3]]         # => [11, 12, 13]
[x for x in [3, 4, 5, 6, 7] if x > 5]  # => [6, 7]

# You can construct set and dict comprehensions as well.
{x for x in 'abcddeef' if x not in 'abc'}  # => {'d', 'e', 'f'}
{x: x**2 for x in range(5)}  # => {0: 0, 1: 1, 2: 4, 3: 9, 4: 16}

模块

使用import语句引入一个Python模块，我们可以用.来访问模块中的函数或者是类。

# You can import modules
import math
print(math.sqrt(16))  # => 4.0

我们也可以使用from import的语句，单独引入模块内的函数或者是类，而不再需要写出完整路径。使用from import *可以引入模块内所有内容（不推荐这么干）

# You can get specific functions from a module
from math import ceil, floor
print(ceil(3.7))   # => 4.0
print(floor(3.7))  # => 3.0

# You can import all functions from a module.
# Warning: this is not recommended
from math import *

可以使用as给模块内的方法或者类起别名：

# You can shorten module names
import math as m
math.sqrt(16) == m.sqrt(16)  # => True

我们可以使用dir查看我们用的模块的路径：

# You can find out which functions and attributes
# are defined in a module.
import math
dir(math)

这么做的原因是如果我们当前的路径下也有一个叫做math的Python文件，那么会覆盖系统自带的math的模块。这是尤其需要注意的，不小心会导致很多奇怪的bug。

类

我们来看一个完整的类，相关的介绍都在注释当中

# We use the "class" statement to create a class
class Human:

    # A class attribute. It is shared by all instances of this class
    # 类属性，可以直接通过Human.species调用，而不需要通过实例
    species = "H. sapiens"

    # Basic initializer, this is called when this class is instantiated.
    # Note that the double leading and trailing underscores denote objects
    # or attributes that are used by Python but that live in user-controlled
    # namespaces. Methods(or objects or attributes) like: __init__, __str__,
    # __repr__ etc. are called special methods (or sometimes called dunder methods)
    # You should not invent such names on your own.
    # 最基础的构造函数
    # 加了下划线的函数和变量表示不应该被用户使用，其中双下划线的函数或者是变量将不会被子类覆盖
    # 前后都有双下划线的函数和属性是类当中的特殊属性
    def __init__(self, name):
        # Assign the argument to the instance's name attribute
        self.name = name

        # Initialize property
        self._age = 0

    # An instance method. All methods take "self" as the first argument
    # 类中的函数，所有实例可以调用，第一个参数必须是self
    # self表示实例的引用
    def say(self, msg):
        print("{name}: {message}".format(name=self.name, message=msg))

    # Another instance method
    def sing(self):
        return 'yo... yo... microphone check... one two... one two...'

    # A class method is shared among all instances
    # They are called with the calling class as the first argument
    @classmethod
    # 加上了注解，表示是类函数
    # 通过Human.get_species来调用，所有实例共享
    def get_species(cls):
        return cls.species

    # A static method is called without a class or instance reference
    @staticmethod
    # 静态函数，通过类名或者是实例都可以调用
    def grunt():
        return "*grunt*"

    # A property is just like a getter.
    # It turns the method age() into an read-only attribute of the same name.
    # There's no need to write trivial getters and setters in Python, though.
    @property
    # property注解，类似于get，set方法
    # 效率很低，除非必要，不要使用
    def age(self):
        return self._age

    # This allows the property to be set
    @age.setter
    def age(self, age):
        self._age = age

    # This allows the property to be deleted
    @age.deleter
    def age(self):
        del self._age

以上内容的详细介绍之前也有过相关文章，可以查看：

Python——slots，property和对象命名规范

下面我们来看看Python当中类的使用：

# When a Python interpreter reads a source file it executes all its code.
# This __name__ check makes sure this code block is only executed when this
# module is the main program.
# 这个是main函数也是整个程序入口的惯用写法
if __name__ == '__main__':
    # Instantiate a class
    # 实例化一个类，获取类的对象
    i = Human(name="Ian")
    # 执行say方法
    i.say("hi")                     # "Ian: hi"
    j = Human("Joel")
    j.say("hello")                  # "Joel: hello"
    # i和j都是Human的实例，都称作是Human类的对象
    # i and j are instances of type Human, or in other words: they are Human objects

    # Call our class method
    # 类属性被所有实例共享，一旦修改全部生效
    i.say(i.get_species())          # "Ian: H. sapiens"
    # Change the shared attribute
    Human.species = "H. neanderthalensis"
    i.say(i.get_species())          # => "Ian: H. neanderthalensis"
    j.say(j.get_species())          # => "Joel: H. neanderthalensis"

    # 通过类名调用静态方法
    # Call the static method
    print(Human.grunt())            # => "*grunt*"

    # Cannot call static method with instance of object 
    # because i.grunt() will automatically put "self" (the object i) as an argument
    # 不能通过对象调用静态方法，因为对象会传入self实例，会导致不匹配
    print(i.grunt())                # => TypeError: grunt() takes 0 positional arguments but 1 was given

    # Update the property for this instance
    # 实例级别的属性是独立的，各个对象各自拥有，修改不会影响其他对象内的值
    i.age = 42
    # Get the property
    i.say(i.age)                    # => "Ian: 42"
    j.say(j.age)                    # => "Joel: 0"
    # Delete the property
    del i.age
    # i.age                         # => this would raise an AttributeError

这里解释一下，实例和对象可以理解成一个概念，实例的英文是instance，对象的英文是object。都是指类经过实例化之后得到的对象。

继承

继承可以让子类继承父类的变量以及方法，并且我们还可以在子类当中指定一些属于自己的特性，并且还可以重写父类的一些方法。一般我们会将不同的类放在不同的文件当中，使用import引入，一样可以实现继承。

from human import Human

# Specify the parent class(es) as parameters to the class definition
class Superhero(Human):

    # If the child class should inherit all of the parent's definitions without
    # any modifications, you can just use the "pass" keyword (and nothing else)
    # but in this case it is commented out to allow for a unique child class:
    # pass
    # 如果要完全继承父类的所有的实现，我们可以使用关键字pass，表示跳过。这样不会修改父类当中的实现

    # Child classes can override their parents' attributes
    species = 'Superhuman'

    # Children automatically inherit their parent class's constructor including
    # its arguments, but can also define additional arguments or definitions
    # and override its methods such as the class constructor.
    # This constructor inherits the "name" argument from the "Human" class and
    # adds the "superpower" and "movie" arguments:
    # 子类会完全继承父类的构造方法，我们也可以进行改造，比如额外增加一些参数
    def __init__(self, name, movie=False,
                 superpowers=["super strength", "bulletproofing"]):

        # add additional class attributes:
        # 额外新增的参数
        self.fictional = True
        self.movie = movie
        # be aware of mutable default values, since defaults are shared
        self.superpowers = superpowers

        # The "super" function lets you access the parent class's methods
        # that are overridden by the child, in this case, the __init__ method.
        # This calls the parent class constructor:
        # 子类可以通过super关键字调用父类的方法
        super().__init__(name)

    # override the sing method
    # 重写父类的sing方法
    def sing(self):
        return 'Dun, dun, DUN!'

    # add an additional instance method
    # 新增方法，只属于子类
    def boast(self):
        for power in self.superpowers:
            print("I wield the power of {pow}!".format(pow=power))

if __name__ == '__main__':
    sup = Superhero(name="Tick")

    # Instance type checks
    # 检查继承关系
    if isinstance(sup, Human):
        print('I am human')
    # 检查类型
    if type(sup) is Superhero:
        print('I am a superhero')

    # Get the Method Resolution search Order used by both getattr() and super()
    # This attribute is dynamic and can be updated
    # 查看方法查询的顺序
    # 先是自身，然后沿着继承顺序往上，最后到object
    print(Superhero.__mro__)    # => (<class '__main__.Superhero'>,
                                # => <class 'human.Human'>, <class 'object'>)

    # 相同的属性子类覆盖了父类
    # Calls parent method but uses its own class attribute
    print(sup.get_species())    # => Superhuman

    # Calls overridden method
    # 相同的方法也覆盖了父类
    print(sup.sing())           # => Dun, dun, DUN!

    # Calls method from Human
    # 继承了父类的方法
    sup.say('Spoon')            # => Tick: Spoon

    # Call method that exists only in Superhero
    # 子类特有的方法
    sup.boast()                 # => I wield the power of super strength!
                                # => I wield the power of bulletproofing!

    # Inherited class attribute
    sup.age = 31
    print(sup.age)              # => 31

    # Attribute that only exists within Superhero
    print('Am I Oscar eligible? ' + str(sup.movie))

多继承

我们创建一个蝙蝠类：


# Another class definition
# bat.py
class Bat:

    species = 'Baty'

    def __init__(self, can_fly=True):
        self.fly = can_fly

    # This class also has a say method
    def say(self, msg):
        msg = '... ... ...'
        return msg

    # And its own method as well
    # 蝙蝠独有的声呐方法
    def sonar(self):
        return '))) ... ((('

if __name__ == '__main__':
    b = Bat()
    print(b.say('hello'))
    print(b.fly)

我们再创建一个蝙蝠侠的类，同时继承Superhero和Bat：

# And yet another class definition that inherits from Superhero and Bat
# superhero.py
from superhero import Superhero
from bat import Bat

# Define Batman as a child that inherits from both Superhero and Bat
class Batman(Superhero, Bat):

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        # Typically to inherit attributes you have to call super:
        # super(Batman, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)      
        # However we are dealing with multiple inheritance here, and super()
        # only works with the next base class in the MRO list.
        # So instead we explicitly call __init__ for all ancestors.
        # The use of *args and **kwargs allows for a clean way to pass arguments,
        # with each parent "peeling a layer of the onion".
        # 通过类名调用两个父类各自的构造方法
        Superhero.__init__(self, 'anonymous', movie=True, 
                           superpowers=['Wealthy'], *args, **kwargs)
        Bat.__init__(self, *args, can_fly=False, **kwargs)
        # override the value for the name attribute
        self.name = 'Sad Affleck'

    # 重写父类的sing方法
    def sing(self):
        return 'nan nan nan nan nan batman!'

执行这个类：

if __name__ == '__main__':
    sup = Batman()

    # Get the Method Resolution search Order used by both getattr() and super().
    # This attribute is dynamic and can be updated
    # 可以看到方法查询的顺序是先沿着superhero这条线到human，然后才是bat
    print(Batman.__mro__)       # => (<class '__main__.Batman'>, 
                                # => <class 'superhero.Superhero'>, 
                                # => <class 'human.Human'>, 
                                # => <class 'bat.Bat'>, <class 'object'>)

    # Calls parent method but uses its own class attribute
    # 只有superhero有get_species方法
    print(sup.get_species())    # => Superhuman

    # Calls overridden method
    print(sup.sing())           # => nan nan nan nan nan batman!

    # Calls method from Human, because inheritance order matters
    sup.say('I agree')          # => Sad Affleck: I agree

    # Call method that exists only in 2nd ancestor
    # 调用蝙蝠类的声呐方法
    print(sup.sonar())          # => ))) ... (((

    # Inherited class attribute
    sup.age = 100
    print(sup.age)              # => 100

    # Inherited attribute from 2nd ancestor whose default value was overridden.
    print('Can I fly? ' + str(sup.fly)) # => Can I fly? False

进阶

生成器

我们可以通过yield关键字创建一个生成器，每次我们调用的时候执行到yield关键字处则停止。下次再次调用则还是从yield处开始往下执行：

# Generators help you make lazy code.
def double_numbers(iterable):
    for i in iterable:
        yield i + i

# Generators are memory-efficient because they only load the data needed to
# process the next value in the iterable. This allows them to perform
# operations on otherwise prohibitively large value ranges.
# NOTE: `range` replaces `xrange` in Python 3.
for i in double_numbers(range(1, 900000000)):  # `range` is a generator.
    print(i)
    if i >= 30:
        break

除了yield之外，我们还可以使用()小括号来生成一个生成器：

# Just as you can create a list comprehension, you can create generator
# comprehensions as well.
values = (-x for x in [1,2,3,4,5])
for x in values:
    print(x)  # prints -1 -2 -3 -4 -5 to console/terminal

# You can also cast a generator comprehension directly to a list.
values = (-x for x in [1,2,3,4,5])
gen_to_list = list(values)
print(gen_to_list)  # => [-1, -2, -3, -4, -5]

关于生成器和迭代器更多的内容，可以查看下面这篇文章：

五分钟带你弄懂迭代器与生成器，夯实代码能力

装饰器

我们引入functools当中的wraps之后，可以创建一个装饰器。装饰器可以在不修改函数内部代码的前提下，在外面包装一层其他的逻辑:

# Decorators
# In this example `beg` wraps `say`. If say_please is True then it
# will change the returned message.
from functools import wraps

def beg(target_function):
    @wraps(target_function)
    # 如果please为True，额外输出一句Please! I am poor :(
    def wrapper(*args, **kwargs):
        msg, say_please = target_function(*args, **kwargs)
        if say_please:
            return "{} {}".format(msg, "Please! I am poor :(")
        return msg

    return wrapper

@beg
def say(say_please=False):
    msg = "Can you buy me a beer?"
    return msg, say_please

print(say())                 # Can you buy me a beer?
print(say(say_please=True))  # Can you buy me a beer? Please! I am poor :(

装饰器之前也有专门的文章详细介绍，可以移步下面的传送门：

结尾

不知道有多少小伙伴可以看到结束，原作者的确非常厉害，把Python的基本操作基本上都囊括在里面了。如果都能读懂并且理解的话，那么Python这门语言就算是入门了。

原作者写的是一个Python文件，所有的内容都在Python的注释当中。我在它的基础上做了修补和额外的描述。如果想要获得原文，可以点击查看原文，或者是在公众号内回复learnpython获取。

如果你之前就有其他语言的语言基础，我想本文读完应该不用30分钟。当然在30分钟内学会一门语言是不可能的，也不是我所提倡的。但至少通过本文我们可以做到熟悉Python的语法，知道大概有哪些操作，剩下的就要我们亲自去写代码的时候去体会和运用了。

根据我的经验，在学习一门新语言的前期，不停地查阅资料是免不了的。希望本文可以作为你在使用Python时候的查阅文档。

今天的文章就到这里，原创不易，需要你的一个关注，你的举手之劳对我来说很重要。
