当x在整个函数中小于零时，能够自动抛出错误。您可以使用类描述符。这里有一个例子:

class LessThanZeroException(Exception):
    pass

class variable(object):
    def __init__(self, value=0):
        self.__x = value

    def __set__(self, obj, value):
        if value < 0:
            raise LessThanZeroException('x is less than zero')

        self.__x  = value

    def __get__(self, obj, objType):
        return self.__x

class MyClass(object):
    x = variable()

>>> m = MyClass()
>>> m.x = 10
>>> m.x -= 20
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "my.py", line 7, in __set__
    raise LessThanZeroException('x is less than zero')
LessThanZeroException: x is less than zero

是否存在性能问题?

Please remember to "make it work first before you make it work fast". Very few percent of any program are usually relevant for its speed. You can always kick out or simplify an assert if it ever proves to be a performance problem -- and most of them never will. Be pragmatic: Assume you have a method that processes a non-empty list of tuples and the program logic will break if those tuples are not immutable. You should write: def mymethod(listOfTuples): assert(all(type(tp)==tuple for tp in listOfTuples)) This is probably fine if your lists tend to be ten entries long, but it can become a problem if they have a million entries. But rather than discarding this valuable check entirely you could simply downgrade it to def mymethod(listOfTuples): assert(type(listOfTuples[0])==tuple) # in fact _all_ must be tuples! which is cheap but will likely catch most of the actual program errors anyway.

"assert"语句在编译优化时被删除。所以，是的，它们在性能和功能上都有差异。

在编译时请求优化时，当前代码生成器不会为assert语句生成代码。Python 3 Docs

如果您使用assert来实现应用程序功能，然后优化部署到生产环境，那么您将受到“但它在开发中有效”缺陷的困扰。

参见PYTHONOPTIMIZE和-O -OO

这种方法唯一真正的错误是，很难使用断言语句产生非常描述性的异常。如果你正在寻找更简单的语法，记住你也可以这样做:

class XLessThanZeroException(Exception):
    pass

def CheckX(x):
    if x < 0:
        raise XLessThanZeroException()

def foo(x):
    CheckX(x)
    #do stuff here

另一个问题是，使用assert进行正常的条件检查会使使用-O标志禁用调试断言变得困难。

在诸如PTVS、PyCharm、Wing assert isinstance()等IDE中，可以使用isinstance语句对一些不清楚的对象启用代码补全。
