我想将字符串转换为最可能的数据类型：int或float。
我有两个字符串：
value1="0.80" #this needs to be a float
value2="1.00" #this needs to be an integer.
我如何确定value1应该是Float，而value2应该是Python中的Integer？
def isfloat(x):
try:
a = float(x)
except ValueError:
return False
else:
return True
def isint(x):
try:
a = float(x)
b = int(a)
except ValueError:
return False
else:
return a == b
Python float对象有一个is_integer method：
from ast import literal_eval
def parses_to_integer(s):
val = literal_eval(s)
return isinstance(val, int) or (isinstance(val, float) and val.is_integer())
def coerce(x):
try:
a = float(x)
b = int(x)
if a != b:
return a
else:
return b
except:
raise ValueError("failed to coerce str to int or float")
当我试图确定两个XML文档之间的差异时，我必须处理确保'1.0'转换为'1'的情况。所以我写了这个函数来帮助我。我还认为，当所讨论的字符串文字为“True”或“False”时，其他一些解决方案将失败。无论如何，这个功能对我来说非常有效。我希望它也会对你有所帮助。
from ast import literal_eval
def convertString(s):
'''
This function will try to convert a string literal to a number or a bool
such that '1.0' and '1' will both return 1.
The point of this is to ensure that '1.0' and '1' return as int(1) and that
'False' and 'True' are returned as bools not numbers.
This is useful for generating text that may contain numbers for diff
purposes. For example you may want to dump two XML documents to text files
then do a diff. In this case you would want <blah value='1.0'/> to match
<blah value='1'/>.
The solution for me is to convert the 1.0 to 1 so that diff doesn't see a
difference.
If s doesn't evaluate to a literal then s will simply be returned UNLESS the
literal is a float with no fractional part. (i.e. 1.0 will become 1)
If s evaluates to float or a float literal (i.e. '1.1') then a float will be
returned if and only if the float has no fractional part.
if s evaluates as a valid literal then the literal will be returned. (e.g.
'1' will become 1 and 'False' will become False)
'''
if isinstance(s, str):
# It's a string. Does it represnt a literal?
#
try:
val = literal_eval(s)
except:
# s doesn't represnt any sort of literal so no conversion will be
# done.
#
val = s
else:
# It's already something other than a string
#
val = s
##
# Is the float actually an int? (i.e. is the float 1.0 ?)
#
if isinstance(val, float):
if val.is_integer():
return int(val)
# It really is a float
return val
return val
该函数的单元测试的输出产生：
convertString("1")=1; we expect 1
convertString("1.0")=1; we expect 1
convertString("1.1")=1.1; we expect 1.1
convertString("010")=8; we expect 8
convertString("0xDEADBEEF")=3735928559; we expect 3735928559
convertString("hello")="hello"; we expect "hello"
convertString("false")="false"; we expect "false"
convertString("true")="true"; we expect "true"
convertString("False")=False; we expect False
convertString("True")=True; we expect True
convertString(sri.gui3.xmlSamples.test_convertString.A)=sri.gui3.xmlSamples.test_convertString.A; we expect sri.gui3.xmlSamples.test_convertString.A
convertString(<function B at 0x7fd9e2f27ed8>)=<function B at 0x7fd9e2f27ed8>; we expect <function B at 0x7fd9e2f27ed8>
convertString(1)=1; we expect 1
convertString(1.0)=1; we expect 1
convertString(1.1)=1.1; we expect 1.1
convertString(3735928559)=3735928559; we expect 3735928559
convertString(False)=False; we expect False
convertString(True)=True; we expect True
单元测试代码如下：
import unittest
# just class for testing that the class gets returned unmolested.
#
class A: pass
# Just a function
#
def B(): pass
class Test(unittest.TestCase):
def setUp(self):
self.conversions = [
# input | expected
('1' ,1 ),
('1.0' ,1 ), # float with no fractional part
('1.1' ,1.1 ),
('010' ,8 ), # octal
('0xDEADBEEF',0xDEADBEEF), # hex
('hello' ,'hello' ),
('false' ,'false' ),
('true' ,'true' ),
('False' ,False ), # bool
('True' ,True ), # bool
(A ,A ), # class
(B ,B ), # function
(1 ,1 ),
(1.0 ,1 ), # float with no fractional part
(1.1 ,1.1 ),
(0xDEADBEEF ,0xDEADBEEF),
(False ,False ),
(True ,True ),
]
def testName(self):
for s,expected in self.conversions:
rval = convertString(s)
print 'convertString({s})={rval}; we expect {expected}'.format(**locals())
self.assertEqual(rval, expected)
if __name__ == "__main__":
#import sys;sys.argv = ['', 'Test.testName']
unittest.main()
这是使用eval()的有趣解决方案。注意：使用eval是非常危险的，不建议在生产环境或eval()可能接收用户输入的任何地方！认为这只是学术上有趣的答案。
def get_string_type(x):
if type(x) != str:
raise ValueError('Input must be a string!')
try:
string_type = type(eval(x))
except NameError:
string_type = str
return string_type
由于Eval将字符串视为原始代码，因此适用于您可以输入到repl中的任何类型。例
>>> from decimal import Decimal
>>> my_test_string = 'Decimal(0.5)'
>>> type(my_test_string)
<class 'str'>
>>> get_string_type(my_test_string)
<class 'decimal.Decimal'>
