我使用

# function
def to_bool(x):
    return x in ("True", "true", True)

# test cases
[[x, to_bool(x)] for x in [True, "True", "true", False, "False", "false", None, 1, 0, -1, 123]]
"""
Result:
[[True, True],
 ['True', True],
 ['true', True],
 [False, False],
 ['False', False],
 ['false', False],
 [None, False],
 [1, True],
 [0, False],
 [-1, False],
 [123, False]]
"""

您可能已经有了一个解决方案，但对于其他人来说，他们正在寻找一种方法，将值转换为布尔值，使用“标准”假值，包括None，[]，{}和“”，除了false, no和0。

def toBoolean( val ):
    """ 
    Get the boolean value of the provided input.

        If the value is a boolean return the value.
        Otherwise check to see if the value is in 
        ["false", "f", "no", "n", "none", "0", "[]", "{}", "" ]
        and returns True if value is not in the list
    """

    if val is True or val is False:
        return val

    falseItems = ["false", "f", "no", "n", "none", "0", "[]", "{}", "" ]

    return not str( val ).strip().lower() in falseItems

我不同意任何解决办法，因为他们太宽容了。在解析字符串时，这通常不是您想要的结果。

这里是我使用的解决方案:

def to_bool(bool_str):
    """Parse the string and return the boolean value encoded or raise an exception"""
    if isinstance(bool_str, basestring) and bool_str: 
        if bool_str.lower() in ['true', 't', '1']: return True
        elif bool_str.lower() in ['false', 'f', '0']: return False

    #if here we couldn't parse it
    raise ValueError("%s is no recognized as a boolean value" % bool_str)

结果是:

>>> [to_bool(v) for v in ['true','t','1','F','FALSE','0']]
[True, True, True, False, False, False]
>>> to_bool("")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "<stdin>", line 8, in to_bool
ValueError: '' is no recognized as a boolean value

澄清一下，因为我的回答似乎冒犯了某人:

关键在于，您不希望只测试一个值，并假设另一个值。我不认为你总是想把所有东西都映射到未解析的值。这会产生容易出错的代码。

如果你知道你想要什么，就把它编码进去。

从Python 2.6开始，你可以使用ast.literal_eval:

>>> import ast
>>> help(ast.literal_eval)
Help on function literal_eval in module ast:

literal_eval(node_or_string)
    Safely evaluate an expression node or a string containing a Python
    expression.  The string or node provided may only consist of the following
    Python literal structures: strings, numbers, tuples, lists, dicts, booleans,
    and None.

这似乎是可行的，只要你确定你的字符串将是“True”或“False”:

>>> ast.literal_eval("True")
True
>>> ast.literal_eval("False")
False
>>> ast.literal_eval("F")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "", line 1, in 
  File "/opt/Python-2.6.1/lib/python2.6/ast.py", line 68, in literal_eval
    return _convert(node_or_string)
  File "/opt/Python-2.6.1/lib/python2.6/ast.py", line 67, in _convert
    raise ValueError('malformed string')
ValueError: malformed string
>>> ast.literal_eval("'False'")
'False'

我通常不建议这样做，但它是完全内置的，可以根据您的需求来选择。

使用str2bool包pip安装str2bool

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),
    ]
