如何在Python中将字符串转换为布尔值?这个尝试返回True:

>>> bool("False")
True

当前回答

我喜欢使用三元运算符,因为它对于不应该超过一行的东西来说更简洁一些。

True if my_string=="True" else False

其他回答

这是我的版本。它同时检查正值和负值列表,对于未知值引发异常。它不接收字符串,但任何类型都可以。

def to_bool(value):
    """
       Converts 'something' to boolean. Raises exception for invalid formats
           Possible True  values: 1, True, "1", "TRue", "yes", "y", "t"
           Possible False values: 0, False, None, [], {}, "", "0", "faLse", "no", "n", "f", 0.0, ...
    """
    if str(value).lower() in ("yes", "y", "true",  "t", "1"): return True
    if str(value).lower() in ("no",  "n", "false", "f", "0", "0.0", "", "none", "[]", "{}"): return False
    raise Exception('Invalid value for boolean conversion: ' + str(value))

示例:

>>> to_bool(True)
True
>>> to_bool("tRUe")
True
>>> to_bool("1")
True
>>> to_bool(1)
True
>>> to_bool(2)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "<stdin>", line 9, in to_bool
Exception: Invalid value for boolean conversion: 2
>>> to_bool([])
False
>>> to_bool({})
False
>>> to_bool(None)
False
>>> to_bool("Wasssaaaaa")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "<stdin>", line 9, in to_bool
Exception: Invalid value for boolean conversion: Wasssaaaaa
>>>

如果你可以控制返回true/false的实体,一种选择是让它返回1/0而不是true/false,那么:

boolean = bool(int(response))

额外的转换为int处理来自网络的响应,这些响应总是字符串。

2021年更新:“which are always string”——这是一个幼稚的观察。它取决于库使用的序列化协议。高级库(大多数web开发人员使用的库)的默认序列化通常是在序列化为字节之前转换为字符串。然后在另一边,它从字节反序列化为字符串,所以你丢失了任何类型信息。

这是我写的版本。将其他几个解决方案合并为一个。

def to_bool(value):
    """
    Converts 'something' to boolean. Raises exception if it gets a string it doesn't handle.
    Case is ignored for strings. These string values are handled:
      True: 'True', "1", "TRue", "yes", "y", "t"
      False: "", "0", "faLse", "no", "n", "f"
    Non-string values are passed to bool.
    """
    if type(value) == type(''):
        if value.lower() in ("yes", "y", "true",  "t", "1"):
            return True
        if value.lower() in ("no",  "n", "false", "f", "0", ""):
            return False
        raise Exception('Invalid value for boolean conversion: ' + value)
    return bool(value)

如果它得到一个字符串,它期望特定的值,否则引发异常。如果它没有得到一个字符串,就让bool构造函数来计算它。测试这些案例:

test_cases = [
    ('true', True),
    ('t', True),
    ('yes', True),
    ('y', True),
    ('1', True),
    ('false', False),
    ('f', False),
    ('no', False),
    ('n', False),
    ('0', False),
    ('', False),
    (1, True),
    (0, False),
    (1.0, True),
    (0.0, False),
    ([], False),
    ({}, False),
    ((), False),
    ([1], True),
    ({1:2}, True),
    ((1,), True),
    (None, False),
    (object(), True),
    ]

如果你知道字符串将是“True”或“False”,你可以使用eval(s)。

>>> eval("True")
True
>>> eval("False")
False

不过,只有在确定字符串的内容时才使用此方法,因为如果字符串不包含有效的Python,它将抛出异常,并且还将执行字符串中包含的代码。

在python 3.10版本中,你可以这样做;

def stringToBool(string: str) -> bool:
    match(string.lower()):
        case 'true':
            return True
        case 'false':
            return False

match-statement等价于c++中的switch。
