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.")

虽然try/except块可以工作，但是使用str.isdigit()可以更快更清晰地完成此任务。

while True:
    age = input("Please enter your age: ")
    if age.isdigit():
        age = int(age)
        break
    else:
        print("Invalid number '{age}'. Try again.".format(age=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.")

使用点击:

Click是一个命令行界面库，它提供了向用户请求有效响应的功能。

简单的例子:

import click

number = click.prompt('Please enter a number', type=float)
print(number)

Please enter a number: 
 a
Error: a is not a valid floating point value
Please enter a number: 
 10
10.0

注意它是如何自动将字符串值转换为浮点数的。

检查一个值是否在一个范围内:

提供了不同的自定义类型。为了得到一个特定范围内的数字，我们可以使用IntRange:

age = click.prompt("What's your age?", type=click.IntRange(1, 120))
print(age)

What's your age?: 
 a
Error: a is not a valid integer
What's your age?: 
 0
Error: 0 is not in the valid range of 1 to 120.
What's your age?: 
 5
5

我们也可以只指定一个极限，min或max:

age = click.prompt("What's your age?", type=click.IntRange(min=14))
print(age)

What's your age?: 
 0
Error: 0 is smaller than the minimum valid value 14.
What's your age?: 
 18
18

会员测试:

使用点击。选择类型。默认情况下，该检查是区分大小写的。

choices = {'apple', 'orange', 'peach'}
choice = click.prompt('Provide a fruit', type=click.Choice(choices, case_sensitive=False))
print(choice)

Provide a fruit (apple, peach, orange): 
 banana
Error: invalid choice: banana. (choose from apple, peach, orange)
Provide a fruit (apple, peach, orange): 
 OrAnGe
orange

使用路径和文件:

使用点击。路径类型，我们可以检查现有的路径并解析它们:

path = click.prompt('Provide path', type=click.Path(exists=True, resolve_path=True))
print(path)

Provide path: 
 nonexistent
Error: Path "nonexistent" does not exist.
Provide path: 
 existing_folder
'/path/to/existing_folder

文件的读写可以通过点击完成。文件:

file = click.prompt('In which file to write data?', type=click.File('w'))
with file.open():
    file.write('Hello!')
# More info about `lazy=True` at:
# https://click.palletsprojects.com/en/7.x/arguments/#file-opening-safety
file = click.prompt('Which file you wanna read?', type=click.File(lazy=True))
with file.open():
    print(file.read())

In which file to write data?: 
         # <-- provided an empty string, which is an illegal name for a file
In which file to write data?: 
 some_file.txt
Which file you wanna read?: 
 nonexistent.txt
Error: Could not open file: nonexistent.txt: No such file or directory
Which file you wanna read?: 
 some_file.txt
Hello!

其他的例子:

密码确认:

password = click.prompt('Enter password', hide_input=True, confirmation_prompt=True)
print(password)

Enter password: 
 ······
Repeat for confirmation: 
 ·
Error: the two entered values do not match
Enter password: 
 ······
Repeat for confirmation: 
 ······
qwerty

默认值:

在这种情况下，只需按Enter(或任何你使用的键)而不输入值，就会给你一个默认值:

number = click.prompt('Please enter a number', type=int, default=42)
print(number)

Please enter a number [42]: 
 a
Error: a is not a valid integer
Please enter a number [42]: 
 
42

使用自定义ValidationError和(可选的)整数输入范围验证的输入验证的另一个解决方案:

class ValidationError(ValueError): 
    """Special validation error - its message is supposed to be printed"""
    pass

def RangeValidator(text,num,r):
    """Generic validator - raises 'text' as ValidationError if 'num' not in range 'r'."""
    if num in r:
        return num
    raise ValidationError(text)

def ValidCol(c): 
    """Specialized column validator providing text and range."""
    return RangeValidator("Columns must be in the range of 0 to 3 (inclusive)", 
                          c, range(4))

def ValidRow(r): 
    """Specialized row validator providing text and range."""
    return RangeValidator("Rows must be in the range of 5 to 15(exclusive)",
                          r, range(5,15))

用法:

def GetInt(text, validator=None):
    """Aks user for integer input until a valid integer is given. If provided, 
    a 'validator' function takes the integer and either raises a 
    ValidationError to be printed or returns the valid number. 
    Non integers display a simple error message."""
    print()
    while True:
        n = input(text)
        try:
            n = int(n)

            return n if validator is None else validator(n)

        except ValueError as ve:
            # prints ValidationErrors directly - else generic message:
            if isinstance(ve, ValidationError):
                print(ve)
            else:
                print("Invalid input: ", n)


column = GetInt("Pleased enter column: ", ValidCol)
row = GetInt("Pleased enter row: ", ValidRow)
print( row, column)

输出:

Pleased enter column: 22
Columns must be in the range of 0 to 3 (inclusive)
Pleased enter column: -2
Columns must be in the range of 0 to 3 (inclusive)
Pleased enter column: 2
Pleased enter row: a
Invalid input:  a
Pleased enter row: 72
Rows must be in the range of 5 to 15(exclusive)
Pleased enter row: 9  

9, 2

为什么你要做一个while True，然后跳出这个循环，而你也可以把你的要求放在while语句中因为你想要的是一旦你有了年龄就停止?

age = None
while age is None:
    input_value = input("Please enter your age: ")
    try:
        # try and convert the string input to a number
        age = int(input_value)
    except ValueError:
        # tell the user off
        print("{input} is not a number, please enter a number only".format(input=input_value))
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.")

这将导致以下结果:

Please enter your age: *potato*
potato is not a number, please enter a number only
Please enter your age: *5*
You are not able to vote in the United States.

这是可行的，因为年龄永远不会有一个没有意义的值，代码遵循“业务流程”的逻辑。
