除了马丁的好答案，你还可以用链条或者。这将返回第一个真值，如果没有真值，则返回None:

def check_all_conditions():
    return check_size() or check_color() or check_tone() or check_flavor() or None

演示:

>>> x = [] or 0 or {} or -1 or None
>>> x
-1
>>> x = [] or 0 or {} or '' or None
>>> x is None
True

你可以使用循环:

conditions = (check_size, check_color, check_tone, check_flavor)
for condition in conditions:
    result = condition()
    if result:
        return result

这样做还有一个额外的好处，那就是您现在可以使条件的数量可变。

你可以使用map() + filter() (Python 3版本，使用Python 2中的future_builtins版本)来获得第一个这样的匹配值:

try:
    # Python 2
    from future_builtins import map, filter
except ImportError:
    # Python 3
    pass

conditions = (check_size, check_color, check_tone, check_flavor)
return next(filter(None, map(lambda f: f(), conditions)), None)

但这是否更具可读性还有待商榷。

另一种选择是使用生成器表达式:

conditions = (check_size, check_color, check_tone, check_flavor)
checks = (condition() for condition in conditions)
return next((check for check in checks if check), None)

除了马丁的好答案，你还可以用链条或者。这将返回第一个真值，如果没有真值，则返回None:

def check_all_conditions():
    return check_size() or check_color() or check_tone() or check_flavor() or None

演示:

>>> x = [] or 0 or {} or -1 or None
>>> x
-1
>>> x = [] or 0 or {} or '' or None
>>> x is None
True

如果你想要相同的代码结构，你可以使用三元语句!

def check_all_conditions():
    x = check_size()
    x = x if x else check_color()
    x = x if x else check_tone()
    x = x if x else check_flavor()

    return x if x else None

我觉得这看起来很清晰。

演示:

我喜欢@timgeb的。与此同时，我想补充的是，在返回语句中表达None是不需要的，因为计算语句的集合或分离语句，并且返回第一个非零，非空，无-None，如果没有，则返回None，无论是否有None !

所以我的check_all_conditions()函数看起来像这样:

def check_all_conditions():
    return check_size() or check_color() or check_tone() or check_flavor()

使用timeit和number=10**7，我查看了一些建议的运行时间。为了便于比较，我只是使用random.random()函数返回一个基于随机数的字符串或None。以下是整个代码:

import random
import timeit

def check_size():
    if random.random() < 0.25: return "BIG"

def check_color():
    if random.random() < 0.25: return "RED"

def check_tone():
    if random.random() < 0.25: return "SOFT"

def check_flavor():
    if random.random() < 0.25: return "SWEET"

def check_all_conditions_Bernard():
    x = check_size()
    if x:
        return x

    x = check_color()
    if x:
        return x

    x = check_tone()
    if x:
        return x

    x = check_flavor()
    if x:
        return x
    return None

def check_all_Martijn_Pieters():
    conditions = (check_size, check_color, check_tone, check_flavor)
    for condition in conditions:
        result = condition()
        if result:
            return result

def check_all_conditions_timgeb():
    return check_size() or check_color() or check_tone() or check_flavor() or None

def check_all_conditions_Reza():
    return check_size() or check_color() or check_tone() or check_flavor()

def check_all_conditions_Phinet():
    x = check_size()
    x = x if x else check_color()
    x = x if x else check_tone()
    x = x if x else check_flavor()

    return x if x else None

def all_conditions():
    yield check_size()
    yield check_color()
    yield check_tone()
    yield check_flavor()

def check_all_conditions_Phil_Frost():
    for condition in all_conditions():
        if condition:
            return condition

def main():
    num = 10000000
    random.seed(20)
    print("Bernard:", timeit.timeit('check_all_conditions_Bernard()', 'from __main__ import check_all_conditions_Bernard', number=num))
    random.seed(20)
    print("Martijn Pieters:", timeit.timeit('check_all_Martijn_Pieters()', 'from __main__ import check_all_Martijn_Pieters', number=num))
    random.seed(20)
    print("timgeb:", timeit.timeit('check_all_conditions_timgeb()', 'from __main__ import check_all_conditions_timgeb', number=num))
    random.seed(20)
    print("Reza:", timeit.timeit('check_all_conditions_Reza()', 'from __main__ import check_all_conditions_Reza', number=num))
    random.seed(20)
    print("Phinet:", timeit.timeit('check_all_conditions_Phinet()', 'from __main__ import check_all_conditions_Phinet', number=num))
    random.seed(20)
    print("Phil Frost:", timeit.timeit('check_all_conditions_Phil_Frost()', 'from __main__ import check_all_conditions_Phil_Frost', number=num))

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

结果如下:

Bernard: 7.398444877040768
Martijn Pieters: 8.506569201346597
timgeb: 7.244275416364456
Reza: 6.982133448743038
Phinet: 7.925932800076634
Phil Frost: 11.924794811353031

上面的Martijns的第一个例子略有变化，避免了循环中的if:

Status = None
for c in [check_size, check_color, check_tone, check_flavor]:
  Status = Status or c();
return Status
