可以使此Python后缀表示法（反波兰表示法）解释器更高效，更准确吗？

Question

这是一个Python后缀表示法解释器，该解释器利用堆栈来评估表达式。是否可以使此功能更高效，更准确？

    1. Starting at the beginning of the expression, get one term 
       (operator or operand) at a time.
       * If the term is an operand, push it on the stack.
       * If the term is an operator, pop two operands off the stack, 
         perform the operation on them, and push the result back on 
         the stack.

    2. When you get to the end of the expression, there should be exactly 
       one operand left on the stack. That operand is the result.

Answer 1

一般建议：

• 避免不必要的类型检查，并依赖默认的异常行为。
• has_key()长期以来不建议in使用运算符：请改用该运算符。
• 简介你的程序，尝试任何性能优化之前。对于任何给定代码的零努力分析运行，只需运行：python -m cProfile -s cumulative foo.py

具体要点：

• list 成为一名优秀的堆栈开箱。特别是，它允许您使用 切片表示法 （教程）更换pop/ pop/append足下的舞蹈。
• ARITHMETIC_OPERATORS可以直接引用操作员实现，而无需getattr间接引用。

将所有这些放在一起：

ARITHMETIC_OPERATORS = {
    '+':  operator.add, '-':  operator.sub,
    '*':  operator.mul, '/':  operator.div, '%':  operator.mod,
    '**': operator.pow, '//': operator.floordiv,
}

def postfix(expression, operators=ARITHMETIC_OPERATORS):
    stack = []
    for val in expression.split():
        if val in operators:
            f = operators[val]
            stack[-2:] = [f(*stack[-2:])]
        else:
            stack.append(int(val))
    return stack.pop()
