OrderedDict
使用dict时,Key是无序的。在对dict做迭代时,我们无法确定Key的顺序。
如果要保持Key的顺序,可以用OrderedDict:
>>> from collections import OrderedDict
>>> d = dict([('a', 1), ('b', 2), ('c', 3)])
>>> d # dict的Key是无序的
{'a': 1, 'c': 3, 'b': 2}
>>> od = OrderedDict([('a', 1), ('b', 2), ('c', 3)])
>>> od # OrderedDict的Key是有序的
OrderedDict([('a', 1), ('b', 2), ('c', 3)])
注意,OrderedDict的Key会按照插入的顺序排列,不是Key本身排序:
>>> od = OrderedDict()
>>> od['z'] = 1
>>> od['y'] = 2
>>> od['x'] = 3
>>> od.keys() # 按照插入的Key的顺序返回
['z', 'y', 'x']
OrderedDict可以实现一个FIFO(先进先出)的dict,当容量超出限制时,先删除最早添加的Key:
from collections import OrderedDict
class LastUpdatedOrderedDict(OrderedDict):
def __init__(self, capacity):
super(LastUpdatedOrderedDict, self).__init__()
self._capacity = capacity
def __setitem__(self, key, value):
containsKey = 1 if key in self else 0
if len(self) - containsKey >= self._capacity:
last = self.popitem(last=False)
print 'remove:', last
if containsKey:
del self[key]
print 'set:', (key, value)
else:
print 'add:', (key, value)
OrderedDict.__setitem__(self, key, value)
