你如何将这个正则表达式的习惯用法从Perl翻译成Python？

大约一年前我从Perl切换到Python,并没有回头.我发现只有一个习惯用法在Perl中比在Python中更容易做到:

if ($var =~ /foo(.+)/) {
  # do something with $1
} elsif ($var =~ /bar(.+)/) {
  # do something with $1
} elsif ($var =~ /baz(.+)/) {
  # do something with $1
}

相应的Python代码并不那么优雅,因为if语句不断嵌套:

m = re.search(r'foo(.+)', var)
if m:
  # do something with m.group(1)
else:
  m = re.search(r'bar(.+)', var)
  if m:
    # do something with m.group(1)
  else:
    m = re.search(r'baz(.+)', var)
    if m:
      # do something with m.group(2)

有没有人有一种优雅的方式在Python中重现这种模式？我已经看过使用匿名函数调度表,但对于少数正则表达式来说,这些对我来说似乎有点笨拙......

使用命名组和调度表:

r = re.compile(r'(?Pfoo|bar|baz)(?P.+)')

def do_foo(data):
    ...

def do_bar(data):
    ...

def do_baz(data):
    ...

dispatch = {
    'foo': do_foo,
    'bar': do_bar,
    'baz': do_baz,
}


m = r.match(var)
if m:
    dispatch[m.group('cmd')](m.group('data'))

通过一些内省,您可以自动生成正则表达式和调度表.

如果三个正则表达式不相同怎么办？喜欢/^foo(.*)/,/(.*)bar$/,/^(.*)baz(.*)$/？

是的,这有点烦人.也许这适用于您的情况.

import re

class ReCheck(object):
    def __init__(self):
        self.result = None
    def check(self, pattern, text):
        self.result = re.search(pattern, text)
        return self.result

var = 'bar stuff'
m = ReCheck()
if m.check(r'foo(.+)',var):
    print m.result.group(1)
elif m.check(r'bar(.+)',var):
    print m.result.group(1)
elif m.check(r'baz(.+)',var):
    print m.result.group(1)

编辑: Brian正确地指出我的第一次尝试不起作用.不幸的是,这种尝试更长.

r"""
This is an extension of the re module. It stores the last successful
match object and lets you access it's methods and attributes via
this module.

This module exports the following additional functions:
    expand  Return the string obtained by doing backslash substitution on a
            template string.
    group   Returns one or more subgroups of the match.
    groups  Return a tuple containing all the subgroups of the match.
    start   Return the indices of the start of the substring matched by
            group.
    end     Return the indices of the end of the substring matched by group.
    span    Returns a 2-tuple of (start(), end()) of the substring matched
            by group.

This module defines the following additional public attributes:
    pos         The value of pos which was passed to the search() or match()
                method.
    endpos      The value of endpos which was passed to the search() or
                match() method.
    lastindex   The integer index of the last matched capturing group.
    lastgroup   The name of the last matched capturing group.
    re          The regular expression object which as passed to search() or
                match().
    string      The string passed to match() or search().

del wraps  # Not needed past module compilation

例如:

if gre.match("foo(.+)", var):
  # do something with gre.group(1)
elif gre.match("bar(.+)", var):
  # do something with gre.group(1)
elif gre.match("baz(.+)", var):
  # do something with gre.group(1)

这种方法的问题在于你只有一个全局"最后一个匹配".从多个线程中使用该模块将会破坏它,就像在信号处理程序中使用'gre'模块或从上面的'if'主体调用的代码一样.使用它时要特别小心,如果你坚持使用它.

我建议这样做,因为它使用最少的正则表达式来实现你的目标.它仍然是功能代码,但不比你的旧Perl差.

import re
var = "barbazfoo"

m = re.search(r'(foo|bar|baz)(.+)', var)
if m.group(1) == 'foo':
    print m.group(1)
    # do something with m.group(1)
elif m.group(1) == "bar":
    print m.group(1)
    # do something with m.group(1)
elif m.group(1) == "baz":
    print m.group(2)
    # do something with m.group(2)
