日常Python代码中会经常遇到一些可以用很简短的代码即可实现的功能，不用自己去撸一个单独的函数或者多个循环语句了。其实一般主要靠Google搜索关键字即可在stackoverflow找到，只能说像我等伪程序员离开网络写代码质量会直线下降。贴到这里也是方便自己使用，代码比较基础，仅作笔记使用。
合并列表值
输入的两个数组，输出一个是数组&值相加或者相乘，原文：eg-1：
# input
first = [1,2,3,4,5]
second = [6,7,8,9,10]
#output
three = [7,9,11,13,15]
# The zip function is useful here, used with a list comprehension.
# add
[x + y for x, y in zip(first, second)]
# other
[x*y for x, y in zip(first, second)]
[max(x,y) for x, y in zip(first, second)]
其实也可以遍历列表长度，然后操作。
另外如果对一个列表进行去重，直接采用set进行操作即可：
in_list = ['1', '2', '1', '3']
in_list = list(set(in_list))
合并字典值
合并两个字典，并将相同键的值进行操作，可以利用collections中的Counter进行操作，原文：eg-2：
>>> from collections import Counter
>>> A = Counter({'a':1, 'b':2, 'c':3})
>>> B = Counter({'b':3, 'c':4, 'd':5})
>>> A + B
Counter({'c': 7, 'b': 5, 'd': 5, 'a': 1})
更多Counter的操作可以参考官网指南，collections.
json与字典转换
不管是存储到数据库还是网络接口输出，都可以采用json格式，格式非常容易操作，而dict类型在Python中也很好操作，而且还可以嵌套。
import json
data = {'a':"A",'b':(2,4),'c':3.0} # dict
data_string = json.dumps(data) # string & json
print "ENCODED:",data_string
decoded = json.loads(data_string) ## dict
print "DECODED:",decoded
多列数据表与字段
有时候插入或者更新数据的时候数据表会有很多字段，这时也可以采用dict进行操作：
people_dict = {'name':'name', 'password':'password', 'salt':'salt'} # long dict
columns = ', '.join(people_dict.keys())
placeholders = ', '.join('?' * len(people_dict))
insert_sql = 'INSERT INTO user ({}) VALUES ({})'.format(columns, placeholders)
cursor_obj.execute(insert_sql, people_dict.values())
另外数据库插入一般可以采用executemany进行操作：
in_list = [('a','1'),('b','2')]
c.executemany(""" INSERT INTO result ('name','value') values(?,?)""", in_list)
排序问题
字典根据键排序， 原文：eg-3：
>>> import collections
>>> d = {2:3, 1:89, 4:5, 3:0}
>>> od = collections.OrderedDict(sorted(d.items()))
>>> od
>>> OrderedDict([(1, 89), (2, 3), (3, 0), (4, 5)])
字典根据值排序， 原文：eg-4：
>>> import operator
>>> x = {1: 2, 3: 4, 4: 3, 2: 1, 0: 0}
>>> sorted_x = sorted(x.items(), key=operator.itemgetter(1))
>>> sorted_x
[(0, 0), (2, 1), (1, 2), (4, 3), (3, 4)]
日期操作
格式化日期与unixtimestamp的相互转换，原文：eg-5：
>>> import datetime
>>> import time
>>> dt = datetime.datetime(2010, 2, 25, 23, 23)
>>> time.mktime(dt.timetuple())
>>>
from datetime import datetime
import time
#-------------------------------------------------

# datetime object to string
dt_obj = datetime(2008, 11, 10, 17, 53, 59)
date_str = dt_obj.strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")
print date_str
# time tuple to string
time_tuple = (2008, 11, 12, 13, 51, 18, 2, 317, 0)
date_str = time.strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S", time_tuple)

dt_obj = datetime(*time_tuple[0:6])
print repr(dt_obj)
# date string to datetime object
date_str = "2008-11-10 17:53:59"
dt_obj = datetime.strptime(date_str, "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")
print repr(dt_obj)
# timestamp to datetime object in local time
timestamp = 1226527167.595983
dt_obj = datetime.fromtimestamp(timestamp)
print repr(dt_obj)
# timestamp to datetime object in UTC

一些输出格式
输出的时候如果采用“\t”进行格式化，也会出现一些对齐问题，可以采用”\t”和“%-20s”格式化代码：
# 20 could be change to another value
print "\t%-20s%-20s%-20s%-20s%-20s%-20s"% tuple(in_list)
