python列表嵌套元组_如何在Python中展平嵌套元组列表？

I have a list of tuples that looks like this:

[('a', 'b'), ('c', 'd'), (('e', 'f'), ('h', 'i'))]

I want to turn it into this:

[('a', 'b'), ('c', 'd'), ('e', 'f'), ('h', 'i')]

What is the most Pythonic way to do this?

解决方案

one-line, using list comprehension:

l = [('a', 'b'), ('c', 'd'), (('e', 'f'), ('h', 'i'))]

result = [z for y in (x if isinstance(x[0],tuple) else [x] for x in l) for z in y]

print(result)

yields:

[('a', 'b'), ('c', 'd'), ('e', 'f'), ('h', 'i')]

this is artificially creating a list if the element is not a tuple of tuples, then flattening all does the job. To avoid creating a single element list [x], (x for _ in range(1)) can also do the job (although it appears clunky)

Limitation: doesn't handle more than 1 level of nesting. In which case, a more complex/recursive solution must be coded (check Martijn's answer).
