使用递归函数的持久用户输入:

字符串

def askName():
    return input("Write your name: ").strip() or askName()

name = askName()

整数

def askAge():
    try: return int(input("Enter your age: "))
    except ValueError: return askAge()

age = askAge()

最后，问题要求:

def askAge():
    try: return int(input("Enter your age: "))
    except ValueError: return askAge()

age = askAge()

responseAge = [
    "You are able to vote in the United States!",
    "You are not able to vote in the United States.",
][int(age < 18)]

print(responseAge)

最简单的方法是将输入法放入while循环中。当您得到错误的输入时使用continue，当您满意时跳出循环。

当你的输入可能引发一个异常

使用try和except检测用户何时输入无法解析的数据。

while True:
    try:
        # Note: Python 2.x users should use raw_input, the equivalent of 3.x's input
        age = int(input("Please enter your age: "))
    except ValueError:
        print("Sorry, I didn't understand that.")
        #better try again... Return to the start of the loop
        continue
    else:
        #age was successfully parsed!
        #we're ready to exit the loop.
        break
if age >= 18: 
    print("You are able to vote in the United States!")
else:
    print("You are not able to vote in the United States.")

实现您自己的验证规则

如果想拒绝Python可以成功解析的值，可以添加自己的验证逻辑。

while True:
    data = input("Please enter a loud message (must be all caps): ")
    if not data.isupper():
        print("Sorry, your response was not loud enough.")
        continue
    else:
        #we're happy with the value given.
        #we're ready to exit the loop.
        break

while True:
    data = input("Pick an answer from A to D:")
    if data.lower() not in ('a', 'b', 'c', 'd'):
        print("Not an appropriate choice.")
    else:
        break

结合异常处理和自定义验证

以上两种技术都可以组合成一个循环。

while True:
    try:
        age = int(input("Please enter your age: "))
    except ValueError:
        print("Sorry, I didn't understand that.")
        continue

    if age < 0:
        print("Sorry, your response must not be negative.")
        continue
    else:
        #age was successfully parsed, and we're happy with its value.
        #we're ready to exit the loop.
        break
if age >= 18: 
    print("You are able to vote in the United States!")
else:
    print("You are not able to vote in the United States.")

把它封装在一个函数中

如果您需要向用户询问许多不同的值，那么将这些代码放在函数中可能会很有用，这样您就不必每次都重新键入。

def get_non_negative_int(prompt):
    while True:
        try:
            value = int(input(prompt))
        except ValueError:
            print("Sorry, I didn't understand that.")
            continue

        if value < 0:
            print("Sorry, your response must not be negative.")
            continue
        else:
            break
    return value

age = get_non_negative_int("Please enter your age: ")
kids = get_non_negative_int("Please enter the number of children you have: ")
salary = get_non_negative_int("Please enter your yearly earnings, in dollars: ")

把它们放在一起

你可以扩展这个想法来创建一个非常通用的输入函数:

def sanitised_input(prompt, type_=None, min_=None, max_=None, range_=None):
    if min_ is not None and max_ is not None and max_ < min_:
        raise ValueError("min_ must be less than or equal to max_.")
    while True:
        ui = input(prompt)
        if type_ is not None:
            try:
                ui = type_(ui)
            except ValueError:
                print("Input type must be {0}.".format(type_.__name__))
                continue
        if max_ is not None and ui > max_:
            print("Input must be less than or equal to {0}.".format(max_))
        elif min_ is not None and ui < min_:
            print("Input must be greater than or equal to {0}.".format(min_))
        elif range_ is not None and ui not in range_:
            if isinstance(range_, range):
                template = "Input must be between {0.start} and {0.stop}."
                print(template.format(range_))
            else:
                template = "Input must be {0}."
                if len(range_) == 1:
                    print(template.format(*range_))
                else:
                    expected = " or ".join((
                        ", ".join(str(x) for x in range_[:-1]),
                        str(range_[-1])
                    ))
                    print(template.format(expected))
        else:
            return ui

用法如下:

age = sanitised_input("Enter your age: ", int, 1, 101)
answer = sanitised_input("Enter your answer: ", str.lower, range_=('a', 'b', 'c', 'd'))

常见的陷阱，以及为什么你应该避免它们

冗余输入语句的冗余使用

这种方法有效，但通常被认为是糟糕的风格:

data = input("Please enter a loud message (must be all caps): ")
while not data.isupper():
    print("Sorry, your response was not loud enough.")
    data = input("Please enter a loud message (must be all caps): ")

最初它可能看起来很吸引人，因为它比while True方法更短，但它违反了软件开发的“不要重复自己”原则。这增加了系统中出现错误的可能性。如果您想通过将输入更改为raw_input来向后移植到2.7，但不小心只更改了上面的第一个输入，该怎么办?这是一个等待发生的SyntaxError。

递归会破坏你的堆栈

如果您刚刚学习过递归，您可能会在get_non_negative_int中使用它，这样就可以处理while循环。

def get_non_negative_int(prompt):
    try:
        value = int(input(prompt))
    except ValueError:
        print("Sorry, I didn't understand that.")
        return get_non_negative_int(prompt)

    if value < 0:
        print("Sorry, your response must not be negative.")
        return get_non_negative_int(prompt)
    else:
        return value

这在大多数情况下似乎工作正常，但如果用户输入无效数据的次数足够多，脚本将以RuntimeError终止:超出最大递归深度。你可能认为“没有傻瓜会连续犯1000个错误”，但你低估了傻瓜的聪明才智!

虽然公认的答案是惊人的。我也想分享一个快速解决这个问题的方法。(这也解决了负年龄问题。)

f=lambda age: (age.isdigit() and ((int(age)>=18  and "Can vote" ) or "Cannot vote")) or \
f(input("invalid input. Try again\nPlease enter your age: "))
print(f(input("Please enter your age: ")))

附注:此代码用于python 3.x。

def validate_age(age):
    if age >=0 :
        return True
    return False

while True:
    try:
        age = int(raw_input("Please enter your age:"))
        if validate_age(age): break
    except ValueError:
        print "Error: Invalid age."

基于Daniel Q和Patrick Artner的优秀建议， 这里有一个更普遍的解决方案。

# Assuming Python3
import sys

class ValidationError(ValueError):  # thanks Patrick Artner
    pass

def validate_input(prompt, cast=str, cond=(lambda x: True), onerror=None):
    if onerror==None: onerror = {}
    while True:
        try:
            data = cast(input(prompt))
            if not cond(data): raise ValidationError
            return data
        except tuple(onerror.keys()) as e:  # thanks Daniel Q
            print(onerror[type(e)], file=sys.stderr)

我选择了显式的if和raise语句，而不是assert， 因为断言检查可能被关闭， 而验证应始终开启以提供健壮性。

这可以用来获得不同种类的输入， 使用不同的验证条件。 例如:

# No validation, equivalent to simple input:
anystr = validate_input("Enter any string: ")

# Get a string containing only letters:
letters = validate_input("Enter letters: ",
    cond=str.isalpha,
    onerror={ValidationError: "Only letters, please!"})

# Get a float in [0, 100]:
percentage = validate_input("Percentage? ",
    cast=float, cond=lambda x: 0.0<=x<=100.0,
    onerror={ValidationError: "Must be between 0 and 100!",
             ValueError: "Not a number!"})

或者，回答最初的问题:

age = validate_input("Please enter your age: ",
        cast=int, cond=lambda a:0<=a<150,
        onerror={ValidationError: "Enter a plausible age, please!",
                 ValueError: "Enter an integer, please!"})
if age >= 18: 
    print("You are able to vote in the United States!")
else:
    print("You are not able to vote in the United States.")

好问题!您可以尝试以下代码。=)

这段代码使用ast.literal_eval()来查找输入的数据类型(age)。然后按照以下算法:

请用户输入年龄。 1.1. 如果age为float或int数据类型: 检查年龄>是否=18。如果age>=18，打印相应的输出并退出。 检查0<年龄<18。如果0<age<18，打印适当的输出并退出。 如果age<=0，请用户再次输入age的有效数字(即返回步骤1)。 1.2. 如果age不是float或int数据类型，则要求用户再次输入她/他的年龄(即返回第1步)。

这是代码。

from ast import literal_eval

''' This function is used to identify the data type of input data.'''
def input_type(input_data):
    try:
        return type(literal_eval(input_data))
    except (ValueError, SyntaxError):
        return str

flag = True

while(flag):
    age = raw_input("Please enter your age: ")

    if input_type(age)==float or input_type(age)==int:
        if eval(age)>=18: 
            print("You are able to vote in the United States!") 
            flag = False 
        elif eval(age)>0 and eval(age)<18: 
            print("You are not able to vote in the United States.") 
            flag = False
        else: print("Please enter a valid number as your age.")

    else: print("Sorry, I didn't understand that.")
