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
>>>

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),
    ]

还有一种选择

from ansible.module_utils.parsing.convert_bool import boolean
boolean('no')
# False
boolean('yEs')
# True
boolean('true')
# True

我必须这么做……所以，也许姗姗来迟——但有人可能会发现它很有用

def str_to_bool(input, default):
    """
    | Default | not_default_str | input   | result
    | T       |  "false"        | "true"  |  T
    | T       |  "false"        | "false" |  F
    | F       |  "true"         | "true"  |  T
    | F       |  "true"         | "false" |  F

    """
    if default:
        not_default_str = "false"
    else:
        not_default_str = "true"

    if input.lower() == not_default_str:
        return not default
    else:
        return default

def str2bool(v):
  return v.lower() in ("yes", "true", "t", "1")

然后像这样称呼它:

>>> str2bool("yes")
True
>>> str2bool("no")
False
>>> str2bool("stuff")
False
>>> str2bool("1")
True
>>> str2bool("0")
False

显式处理true和false:

您还可以使函数显式地检查True单词列表和False单词列表。然后，如果它不在两个列表中，则可以抛出异常。

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。
