不要使用列表推导来执行副作用——这不是 Pythonic。改用显式循环:

for i in range(0,len(a),2):
    a[i] = 3

除了列表推导中的副作用令人惊讶和意外之外,您正在构建一个您从不使用的结果列表,这在此处是浪费且完全没有必要的。

是的。我建议使用

a[::2] = ['x'] * len(a[::2])

反而。

你也可以使用list.__setitem__

a = range(5)
[a.__setitem__(i,"x") for i in range(0,len(a),2)]

或者,如果您想避免构建中间列表:

any(a.__setitem__(i,"x") for i in range(0,len(a),2))

但是列表推导中的赋值确实是不合 Python 的。
