python 中__getitem__ 和 __iter__ 的区别

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

class Library(object):
    def __init__(self):
        self.books = { 'title' : 'a', 'title2' : 'b', 'title3' : 'c', }

    def __getitem__(self, i):
        return self.books[i]

    def __iter__(self):
        # 方法1 使用生成器
        for titles in self.books:
            yield self.books[titles]
        # 方法2 使用迭代器
#        return self.books.itervalues()

library = Library()

# 1.普通方法
print library.books['title']

# 2.使用__getitem__
print library['title']

# 3.迭代器
for book in library:
    print book

问题：那__getitem__可以替代__iter__方法吗

1.list

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

class Library(object):
    def __init__(self):
        self.books = [ 'title' , 'a', 'title2' , 'b', 'title3' , 'c', ]

    def __getitem__(self, i):
        return self.books[i]

 #   def __iter__(self):
        # 方法1 使用生成器
  #      for titles in self.books:
  #          yield self.books[titles]
        # 方法2 使用迭代器
#        return self.books.itervalues()

library = Library()

# 1.普通方法
print(library.books[1])

# 2.使用__getitem__
print(library[1])

# 3.迭代器
for book in library:
    print(book)

结果为

>>>
===================== RESTART: C:/Users/CUI/Desktop/1.py =====================
a
a
title
a
title2
b
title3
c
>>> 

2.dict

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

class Library(object):
    def __init__(self):
        self.books = { 'title' : 'a', 'title2' : 'b', 'title3' : 'c', }

    def __getitem__(self, i):
        return self.books[i]

 #   def __iter__(self):
        # 方法1 使用生成器
  #      for titles in self.books:
  #          yield self.books[titles]
        # 方法2 使用迭代器
#        return self.books.itervalues()

library = Library()

# 1.普通方法
print(library.books[1])

# 2.使用__getitem__
print(library[1])

# 3.迭代器
for book in library:
    print(book)

结果为：

>>>
===================== RESTART: C:/Users/CUI/Desktop/1.py =====================
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/Users/CUI/Desktop/1.py", line 20, in <module>
    print(library.books[1])
KeyError: 1
>>> 

结论：当字段为索引行数据类型（如：list, tuple,str)时，可以替换，当字段为hash型类型（如dict,set)时，不能替换。
