我正在编写一个接受用户输入的程序。

#note: Python 2.7 users should use `raw_input`, the equivalent of 3.X's `input`
age = int(input("Please enter your age: "))
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.")

只要用户输入有意义的数据,程序就能正常工作。

Please enter your age: 23
You are able to vote in the United States!

但如果用户输入无效数据,则失败:

Please enter your age: dickety six
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "canyouvote.py", line 1, in <module>
    age = int(input("Please enter your age: "))
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: 'dickety six'

而不是崩溃,我希望程序再次要求输入。是这样的:

Please enter your age: dickety six
Sorry, I didn't understand that.
Please enter your age: 26
You are able to vote in the United States!

我如何要求有效输入而不是崩溃或接受无效值(例如-1)?


当前回答

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!

其他回答

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.")

试试这个:-

def takeInput(required):
  print 'ooo or OOO to exit'
  ans = raw_input('Enter: ')

  if not ans:
      print "You entered nothing...!"
      return takeInput(required) 

      ##  FOR Exit  ## 
  elif ans in ['ooo', 'OOO']:
    print "Closing instance."
    exit()

  else:
    if ans.isdigit():
      current = 'int'
    elif set('[~!@#$%^&*()_+{}":/\']+$').intersection(ans):
      current = 'other'
    elif isinstance(ans,basestring):
      current = 'str'        
    else:
      current = 'none'

  if required == current :
    return ans
  else:
    return takeInput(required)

## pass the value in which type you want [str/int/special character(as other )]
print "input: ", takeInput('str')

您可以编写更通用的逻辑,以允许用户只输入特定次数,因为在许多实际应用程序中都会出现相同的用例。

def getValidInt(iMaxAttemps = None):
  iCount = 0
  while True:
    # exit when maximum attempt limit has expired
    if iCount != None and iCount > iMaxAttemps:
       return 0     # return as default value

    i = raw_input("Enter no")
    try:
       i = int(i)
    except ValueError as e:
       print "Enter valid int value"
    else:
       break

    return i

age = getValidInt()
# do whatever you want to do.

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。

使用try-except来处理错误并重复一次:

while True:
    try:
        age = int(input("Please enter your age: "))
        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.")
    except Exception as e:
        print("please enter number")
