如果它得到一个字符串，它期望特定的值，否则引发异常。如果它没有得到一个字符串，就让bool构造函数来计算它。测试这些案例:

test_cases = [
    ('true', True),
    ('t', True),
    ('yes', True),
    ('y', True),
    ('1', True),
    ('false', False),
    ('f', False),
    ('no', False),
    ('n', False),
    ('0', False),
    ('', False),
    (1, True),
    (0, False),
    (1.0, True),
    (0.0, False),
    ([], False),
    ({}, False),
    ((), False),
    ([1], True),
    ({1:2}, True),
    ((1,), True),
    (None, False),
    (object(), True),
    ]

def str2bool(str):
  if isinstance(str, basestring) and str.lower() in ['0','false','no']:
    return False
  else:
    return bool(str)

想法:检查你是否希望字符串被计算为False;否则bool()对于任何非空字符串返回True。

转换为bool类型的通常规则是，一些特殊的字面量(False, 0, 0.0，()，[]，{})为假，然后其他的都为真，所以我推荐如下:

def boolify(val):
    if (isinstance(val, basestring) and bool(val)):
        return not val in ('False', '0', '0.0')
    else:
        return bool(val)

我们可能需要捕捉'true'不区分大小写，如果是这样的话:

>>> x="TrUE"  
>>> x.title() == 'True'  
True  

>>> x="false"  
>>> x.title() == 'True'  
False  

还要注意，对于任何其他既不是真也不是假的输入，它将返回False

pydantic有一个优雅的解决方案:

import pydantic

>>> pydantic.parse_obj_as(bool, "true")
True
