假如有个任务: 给定一个字符串,通过查询字典,来替换给定字符中的变量。如果使用通常的方法:
>>> "this is a %(var)s" % {"var":"dog"}
'this is a dog'
>>>
其实可以使用string.template类来实现上面的替换
>>> from string import template
>>> words = template("this is $var")
>>> print(words.substitute({"var": "dog"})) # 通过字典的方式来传参
this is dog
>>> print(words.substitute(var="dog")) # 通过关键字方式来传参
this is dog
>>>
在创建template实例时,在字符串格式中,可以使用两个美元符来代替$,还可以用${}将 变量扩起来,这样的话,变量后面还可以接其他字符或数字,这个使用方式很像shell或者perl里面的语言。下面以letter模板来示例一下:
>>> from string import template
>>> letter = """dear $customer,
... i hope you are having a great time!
... if you do not find room $room to your satisfaction, let us know.
... please accept this $$5 coupon.
... sincerely,
... $manager,
... ${name}inn"""
>>> template = template(letter)
>>> letter_dict = {"name": "sleepy", "customer": "fred smith", "manager": "tom smith", "room": 308}
>>> print(template.substitute(letter_dict))
dear fred smith,
i hope you are having a great time!
if you do not find room 308 to your satisfaction, let us know.
please accept this $5 coupon.
sincerely,
tom smith,
sleepyinn

有时候,为了给substitute准备一个字典做参数,最简单的方法是设定一些本地变量,然后将这些变量交给local()(此函数创建一个字典,字典中的key就是本地变量,本地变量的值通过key来访问)。
>>> locals() # 刚进入时,没有其他变量
{'__builtins__': , '__name__': '__main__', '__doc__': none, '__package__': none}
>>> name = "alice" # 创建本地变量name
>>> age = 18 # 创建本地变量age
>>> locals() # 再执行locals()函数就可以看到name, age的键值队
{'name': 'alice', '__builtins__': , 'age': 18, '__package__': none, '__name__': '__mai
__', '__doc__': none}
>>> locals()["name"] # 通过键name来获取值
'alice'
>>> locals()["age"] # 通过键age来获取值
18
>>>
有了上面的例子打底来看一个示例:
>>> from string import template
>>> msg = template("the square of $number is $square")
>>> for number in range(10):
... square = number * number
... print msg.substitute(locals())
...
the square of 0 is 0
the square of 1 is 1
the square of 2 is 4
the square of 3 is 9
另外一种方法是使用关键字参数语法而非字典,直接将值传递给substitute。
>>> from string import template
>>> msg = template("the square of $number is $square")
>>> for i in range(4):
... print msg.substitute(number=i, square=i*i)
...
the square of 0 is 0
the square of 1 is 1
the square of 2 is 4
the square of 3 is 9
>>>
甚至可以同时传递字典和关键字
>>> from string import template
>>> msg = template("the square of $number is $square")
>>> for number in range(4):
... print msg.substitute(locals(), square=number*number)
...
the square of 0 is 0
the square of 1 is 1
the square of 2 is 4
the square of 3 is 9
>>>
为了防止字典的条目和关键字参数显示传递的值发生冲突,关键字参数优先,比如:
>>> from string import template
>>> msg = template("it is $adj $msg")
>>> adj = "interesting"
>>> print(msg.substitute(locals(), msg="message"))
it is interesting message
