这是我所使用的:

import sys

# cs = case sensitive
# ys = whatever you want to be "yes" - string or tuple of strings

#  prompt('promptString') == 1:               # only y
#  prompt('promptString',cs = 0) == 1:        # y or Y
#  prompt('promptString','Yes') == 1:         # only Yes
#  prompt('promptString',('y','yes')) == 1:   # only y or yes
#  prompt('promptString',('Y','Yes')) == 1:   # only Y or Yes
#  prompt('promptString',('y','yes'),0) == 1: # Yes, YES, yes, y, Y etc.

def prompt(ps,ys='y',cs=1):
    sys.stdout.write(ps)
    ii = raw_input()
    if cs == 0:
        ii = ii.lower()
    if type(ys) == tuple:
        for accept in ys:
            if cs == 0:
                accept = accept.lower()
            if ii == accept:
                return True
    else:
        if ii == ys:
            return True
    return False

在Python的标准库中有一个函数strtoool: http://docs.python.org/2/distutils/apiref.html?highlight=distutils.util#distutils.util.strtobool

您可以使用它来检查用户的输入并将其转换为True或False值。

这是我对它的看法，我只是想中止如果用户没有确认的行动。

import distutils

if unsafe_case:
    print('Proceed with potentially unsafe thing? [y/n]')
    while True:
        try:
            verify = distutils.util.strtobool(raw_input())
            if not verify:
                raise SystemExit  # Abort on user reject
            break
        except ValueError as err:
            print('Please enter \'yes\' or \'no\'')
            # Try again
    print('Continuing ...')
do_unsafe_thing()

def question(question, answers):
    acceptable = False
    while not acceptable:
        print(question + "specify '%s' or '%s'") % answers
        answer = raw_input()
        if answer.lower() == answers[0].lower() or answers[0].lower():
            print('Answer == %s') % answer
            acceptable = True
    return answer

raining = question("Is it raining today?", ("Y", "N"))

换做是我就会这么做。

输出

Is it raining today? Specify 'Y' or 'N'
> Y
answer = 'Y'

在2.7中，这是不是太非python化了?

if raw_input('your prompt').lower()[0]=='y':
   your code here
else:
   alternate code here

它至少能捕捉到“是”的任何变化。

您可以使用单击的确认方法。

import click

if click.confirm('Do you want to continue?', default=True):
    print('Do something')

这将打印:

$ Do you want to continue? [Y/n]:

应该适用于Linux, Mac或Windows上的Python 2/3。
