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.

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

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。

英语单词assert在这里的意思是发誓、肯定、宣称。它的意思不是“检查”或“应该是”。这意味着你作为一个程序员要在这里做一个宣誓声明:

# I solemnly swear that here I will tell the truth, the whole truth, 
# and nothing but the truth, under pains and penalties of perjury, so help me FSM
assert answer == 42

如果代码是正确的，除了单事件中断、硬件故障等，任何断言都不会失败。这就是为什么程序对终端用户的行为不能受到影响。特别是，断言即使在异常的编程条件下也不能失败。这种事从来没有发生过。如果发生这种情况，程序员应该为此受到惩罚。

Assert是检查- 1. 有效条件， 2. 有效的表述， 3.真正的逻辑; 源代码。它不会让整个项目失败，而是会发出警报，提示源文件中有些地方不合适。

在例1中，因为变量'str'不是空的。因此不会引发任何断言或异常。

示例1:

#!/usr/bin/python

str = 'hello Python!'
strNull = 'string is Null'

if __debug__:
    if not str: raise AssertionError(strNull)
print str

if __debug__:
    print 'FileName '.ljust(30,'.'),(__name__)
    print 'FilePath '.ljust(30,'.'),(__file__)


------------------------------------------------------

Output:
hello Python!
FileName ..................... hello
FilePath ..................... C:/Python\hello.py

在例2中，var 'str'为空。因此，我们可以通过assert语句来避免用户走在错误程序前面。

示例2:

#!/usr/bin/python

str = ''
strNull = 'NULL String'

if __debug__:
    if not str: raise AssertionError(strNull)
print str

if __debug__:
    print 'FileName '.ljust(30,'.'),(__name__)
    print 'FilePath '.ljust(30,'.'),(__file__)


------------------------------------------------------

Output:
AssertionError: NULL String

当我们不想调试并意识到源代码中的断言问题时。禁用优化标志

python -O assertStatement.py 没有东西会被打印出来
