有关Python应用的21个小技巧

从我在麦子学院开始学习python的时候，我就尝试着自己总结一个python小技巧的集合。后来当我什么时候在Stack Overflow或者在某个开源软件里看到一段很酷代码的时候，我就很惊讶：原来还能这么做！当时我会努力的自己尝试一下这段代码，直到我懂了它的整体思路以后，我就把这段代码加到我的集合里。这篇文章其实就是这个集合整理后一部分的公开亮相。如果你已经是个python大牛，那么基本上你应该知道这里面的大多数用法了，但我想你应该也能发现一些你不知道的新技巧。而如果你之前是一个c,c++,java的程序员 ，同时在学习python，或者干脆就是一个刚刚学习编程的新手，那么你应该会看到很多特别有用能让你感到惊奇的实用技巧，就像我当初一样。
每一个技巧和语言用法都会在一个个实例中展示给大家，也不需要有其他的说明。我已经尽力把每个例子弄的通俗易懂，但是因为读者对python的熟悉程度不同，仍然可能难免有一些晦涩的地方。所以如果这些例子本身无法让你读懂，至少这个例子的标题在你后面去google搜索的时候会帮到你。
整个集合大概是按照难易程度排序，简单常见的在前面，比较少见的在最后。

1.1 拆箱

>>> a, b, c = 1, 2, 3
>>> a, b, c
(1, 2, 3)
>>> a, b, c = [1, 2, 3]
>>> a, b, c
(1, 2, 3)
>>> a, b, c = (2 * i + 1 for i in range(3))
>>> a, b, c
(1, 3, 5)
>>> a, (b, c), d = [1, (2, 3), 4]

1.12 列表相邻元素压缩器

>>> a = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

[(1, 2), (3, 4), (5, 6)]

>>> group_adjacent = lambda a, k: zip(*([iter(a)] * k))
>>> group_adjacent(a, 3)
[(1, 2, 3), (4, 5, 6)]
>>> group_adjacent(a, 2)
[(1, 2), (3, 4), (5, 6)]
