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

警告:此答案从Python 3.12起不再有效(从3.10起已弃用)

Use:

bool(distutils.util.strtobool(some_string))

Python 2: http://docs.python.org/2/distutils/apiref.html?highlight=distutils.util#distutils.util.strtobool Python >=3, <3.12: https://docs.python.org/3/distutils/apiref.html#distutils.util.strtobool Python >=3.12:由于PEP 632,不再是标准库的一部分

真值是y, yes, t, True, on和1;假值为n, no, f, False, off和0。如果val为其他值,则引发ValueError。

请注意,distutils.util. strtoool()返回整数表示,因此需要用bool()包装它以获得布尔值。

鉴于distutils将不再是标准库的一部分,下面是distutils.util. strtoool()的代码(请参阅源代码)。

def strtobool (val):
    """Convert a string representation of truth to true (1) or false (0).
    True values are 'y', 'yes', 't', 'true', 'on', and '1'; false values
    are 'n', 'no', 'f', 'false', 'off', and '0'.  Raises ValueError if
    'val' is anything else.
    """
    val = val.lower()
    if val in ('y', 'yes', 't', 'true', 'on', '1'):
        return 1
    elif val in ('n', 'no', 'f', 'false', 'off', '0'):
        return 0
    else:
        raise ValueError("invalid truth value %r" % (val,))

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
>>>

下面是我用来评估字符串真实性的东西:

def as_bool(val):
 if val:
  try:
   if not int(val): val=False
  except: pass
  try:
   if val.lower()=="false": val=False
  except: pass
 return bool(val)

与使用eval的结果大致相同,但更安全。

你也可以计算任何字符串字面值:

import ast
ast.literal_eval('True')  # True
type(ast.literal_eval('True'))  # <class 'bool'>


ls = '[1, 2, 3]'
ast.literal_eval(ls)  # [1, 2, 3]
type(ast.literal_eval(ls))  # <class 'list'>

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。

.blink { color: yellow; animation: blink-animation 0.5s infinite; } @keyframes blink-animation { 25% { background-color: black; color: cyan; } 50% { background-color: black; color: red; } 75% { background-color: black; color: lime; } } <h1 class="blink">WARNING: Do not use the following code unless you actually know what you are doing with it. Please read the attached disclaimers and make sure you trust your inputs as using this on untrusted inputs could destroy your data and/or cost you your job.</h1>

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。
