我需要在Python程序中模拟一个do-while循环。不幸的是,下面的简单代码不能工作:

list_of_ints = [ 1, 2, 3 ]
iterator = list_of_ints.__iter__()
element = None

while True:
  if element:
    print element

  try:
    element = iterator.next()
  except StopIteration:
    break

print "done"

不是"1,2,3,done",而是输出如下:

[stdout:]1
[stdout:]2
[stdout:]3
None['Traceback (most recent call last):
', '  File "test_python.py", line 8, in <module>
    s = i.next()
', 'StopIteration
']

为了捕获“停止迭代”异常并中断一段时间,我能做些什么 循环正常吗?

下面的伪代码显示了为什么需要这样一个东西的示例。

状态机:

s = ""
while True :
  if state is STATE_CODE :
    if "//" in s :
      tokens.add( TOKEN_COMMENT, s.split( "//" )[1] )
      state = STATE_COMMENT
    else :
      tokens.add( TOKEN_CODE, s )
  if state is STATE_COMMENT :
    if "//" in s :
      tokens.append( TOKEN_COMMENT, s.split( "//" )[1] )
    else
      state = STATE_CODE
      # Re-evaluate same line
      continue
  try :
    s = i.next()
  except StopIteration :
    break

当前回答

如果您正在循环而资源不可用或抛出异常的类似情况下,您可以使用类似于

import time

while True:
    try:
       f = open('some/path', 'r')
    except IOError:
       print('File could not be read. Retrying in 5 seconds')   
       time.sleep(5)
    else:
       break

其他回答

内置的iter函数具体做到了这一点:

for x in iter(YOUR_FN, TERM_VAL):
    ...

例如(在Py2和3中测试过):

class Easy:
  X = 0
  @classmethod
  def com(cls):
    cls.X += 1
    return cls.X

for x in iter(Easy.com, 10):
  print(">>>", x)

如果你想给出一个终止条件而不是一个值,你总是可以设置一个等式,并要求这个等式为True。

用于包含try语句的do - while循环

loop = True
while loop:
    generic_stuff()
    try:
        questionable_stuff()
#       to break from successful completion
#       loop = False  
    except:
        optional_stuff()
#       to break from unsuccessful completion - 
#       the case referenced in the OP's question
        loop = False
   finally:
        more_generic_stuff()

或者,当不需要'finally'从句时

while True:
    generic_stuff()
    try:
        questionable_stuff()
#       to break from successful completion
#       break  
    except:
        optional_stuff()
#       to break from unsuccessful completion - 
#       the case referenced in the OP's question
        break
while condition is True: 
  stuff()
else:
  stuff()

你想知道:

为了捕捉“停止迭代”异常并正确地打破while循环,我能做些什么?

你可以这样做,如下所示,这也利用了Python 3.8中引入的赋值表达式特性(又名“海象运算符”):

list_of_ints = [1, 2, 3]
iterator = iter(list_of_ints)

try:
    while (element := next(iterator)):
        print(element)
except StopIteration:
    print("done")

另一种可能(从Python 2.6到3.x都适用)是为内置的next()函数提供一个默认参数,以避免StopIteration异常:

SENTINEL = object()  # Unique object.
list_of_ints = [1, 2, 3]
iterator = iter(list_of_ints)

while True:
    element = next(iterator, SENTINEL)
    if element is SENTINEL:
        break
    print(element)

print("done")
do {
  stuff()
} while (condition())

->

while True:
  stuff()
  if not condition():
    break

你可以做一个函数:

def do_while(stuff, condition):
  while condition(stuff()):
    pass

但 1)它很丑。 2) Condition应该是一个只有一个参数的函数,应该由东西填充(这是不使用经典while循环的唯一原因)。
