作为一个编程新手，我发现上面的一堆答案过于复杂，特别是如果目标是有一个简单的函数，你可以传递各种是/否问题，迫使用户选择是或否。在浏览了这篇文章和其他几篇文章，并借鉴了各种各样的好想法后，我得出了以下结论:

def yes_no(question_to_be_answered):
    while True:
        choice = input(question_to_be_answered).lower()
        if choice[:1] == 'y': 
            return True
        elif choice[:1] == 'n':
            return False
        else:
            print("Please respond with 'Yes' or 'No'\n")

#See it in Practice below 

musical_taste = yes_no('Do you like Pine Coladas?')
if musical_taste == True:
    print('and getting caught in the rain')
elif musical_taste == False:
    print('You clearly have no taste in music')

对python 3执行同样的操作。X, raw_input()不存在:

def ask(question, default = None):
    hasDefault = default is not None
    prompt = (question 
               + " [" + ["y", "Y"][hasDefault and default] + "/" 
               + ["n", "N"][hasDefault and not default] + "] ")

    while True:
        sys.stdout.write(prompt)
        choice = input().strip().lower()
        if choice == '':
            if default is not None:
                return default
        else:
            if "yes".startswith(choice):
                return True
            if "no".startswith(choice):
                return False

        sys.stdout.write("Please respond with 'yes' or 'no' "
                             "(or 'y' or 'n').\n")

正如Alexander Artemenko提到的，这里有一个使用strtobool()的简单解决方案。

from distutils.util import strtobool

def user_yes_no_query(question):
    sys.stdout.write('%s [y/n]\n' % question)
    while True:
        try:
            return strtobool(raw_input().lower())
        except ValueError:
            sys.stdout.write('Please respond with \'y\' or \'n\'.\n')

使用

>>> user_yes_no_query('Do you like cheese?')
Do you like cheese? [y/n]
Only on tuesdays
Please respond with 'y' or 'n'.
ok
Please respond with 'y' or 'n'.
y
>>> True

你可以尝试下面的代码来处理变量'accepted'中的选项:

print( 'accepted: {}'.format(accepted) )
# accepted: {'yes': ['', 'Yes', 'yes', 'YES', 'y', 'Y'], 'no': ['No', 'no', 'NO', 'n', 'N']}

这是密码。

#!/usr/bin/python3

def makeChoi(yeh, neh):
    accept = {}
    # for w in words:
    accept['yes'] = [ '', yeh, yeh.lower(), yeh.upper(), yeh.lower()[0], yeh.upper()[0] ]
    accept['no'] = [ neh, neh.lower(), neh.upper(), neh.lower()[0], neh.upper()[0] ]
    return accept

accepted = makeChoi('Yes', 'No')

def doYeh():
    print('Yeh! Let\'s do it.')

def doNeh():
    print('Neh! Let\'s not do it.')

choi = None
while not choi:
    choi = input( 'Please choose: Y/n? ' )
    if choi in accepted['yes']:
        choi = True
        doYeh()
    elif choi in accepted['no']:
        choi = True
        doNeh()
    else:
        print('Your choice was "{}". Please use an accepted input value ..'.format(choi))
        print( accepted )
        choi = None

我会这样做:

# raw_input returns the empty string for "enter"
yes = {'yes','y', 'ye', ''}
no = {'no','n'}

choice = raw_input().lower()
if choice in yes:
   return True
elif choice in no:
   return False
else:
   sys.stdout.write("Please respond with 'yes' or 'no'")

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。
