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.")

下面的代码可能会有所帮助。

age=(lambda i,f: f(i,f))(input("Please enter your age: "),lambda i,f: i if i.isdigit() else f(input("Please enter your age: "),f))
print("You are able to vote in the united states" if int(age)>=18 else "You are not able to vote in the united states",end='')

如果你想要最大尝试次数，比如3次，请使用下面的代码

age=(lambda i,n,f: f(i,n,f))(input("Please enter your age: "),1,lambda i,n,f: i if i.isdigit() else (None if n==3 else f(input("Please enter your age: "),n+1,f)))
print("You are able to vote in the united states" if age and int(age)>=18 else "You are not able to vote in the united states",end='')

注意:这里使用递归。

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)

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."

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“while”语句，直到用户输入一个真值，如果输入值不是一个数字或它是一个空值跳过它，并尝试再次询问，等等。 举例来说，我试图真正地回答你的问题。如果我们假设我们的年龄在1到150之间，那么输入值被接受，否则它是一个错误的值。 对于终止程序，用户可以使用0键并输入它作为一个值。

注意:阅读代码顶部的注释。

# If your input value is only a number then use "Value.isdigit() == False".
# If you need an input that is a text, you should remove "Value.isdigit() == False".
def Input(Message):
    Value = None
    while Value == None or Value.isdigit() == False:
        try:        
            Value = str(input(Message)).strip()
        except Exception:
            Value = None
    return Value

# Example:
age = 0
# If we suppose that our age is between 1 and 150 then input value accepted,
# else it's a wrong value.
while age <=0 or age >150:
    age = int(Input("Please enter your age: "))
    # For terminating program, the user can use 0 key and enter it as an a value.
    if age == 0:
        print("Terminating ...")
        exit(0)
        
if age >= 18 and age <=150: 
    print("You are able to vote in the United States!")
else:
    print("You are not able to vote in the United States.")
