要求用户提供输入，直到他们给出有效的答复

在Daniel Q和Patrick Artner的出色建议的基础上，这是一个更为通用的解决方案。

# Assuming Python3
import sys

class ValidationError(ValueError):  # thanks Patrick Artner
    pass

def validate_input(prompt, cast=str, cond=(lambda x: True), onerror=None):
    if onerror==None: onerror = {}
    while True:
        try:
            data = cast(input(prompt))
            if not cond(data): raise ValidationError
            return data
        except tuple(onerror.keys()) as e:  # thanks Daniel Q
            print(onerror[type(e)], file=sys.stderr)

我选择了显式if和raise语句而不是assert，因为可以关闭断言检查，而应该始终启用验证以提供健壮性。

这可用于获取具有不同验证条件的不同种类的输入。例如：

# No validation, equivalent to simple input:
anystr = validate_input("Enter any string: ")

# Get a string containing only letters:
letters = validate_input("Enter letters: ",
    cond=str.isalpha,
    onerror={ValidationError: "Only letters, please!"})

# Get a float in [0, 100]:
percentage = validate_input("Percentage? ",
    cast=float, cond=lambda x: 0.0<=x<=100.0,
    onerror={ValidationError: "Must be between 0 and 100!",
             ValueError: "Not a number!"})

或者，回答原始问题：

age = validate_input("Please enter your age: ",
        cast=int, cond=lambda a:0<=a<150,
        onerror={ValidationError: "Enter a plausible age, please!",
                 ValueError: "Enter an integer, please!"})
if age >= 18: 
    print("You are able to vote in the United States!")
else:
    print("You are not able to vote in the United States.")

您为什么要先执行a while True然后再退出此循环，而您也可以只将需求放在while语句中，因为您想要的只是在达到年龄后就停止？

age = None
while age is None:
    input_value = input("Please enter your age: ")
    try:
        # try and convert the string input to a number
        age = int(input_value)
    except ValueError:
        # tell the user off
        print("{input} is not a number, please enter a number only".format(input=input_value))
if age >= 18:
    print("You are able to vote in the United States!")
else:
    print("You are not able to vote in the United States.")

这将导致以下结果：

Please enter your age: *potato*
potato is not a number, please enter a number only
Please enter your age: *5*
You are not able to vote in the United States.

这是可行的，因为年龄永远不会有没有意义的值，并且代码遵循“业务流程”的逻辑

尽管公认的答案是惊人的。我也想分享一个快速解决此问题的方法。（这也解决了负面的年龄问题。）

f=lambda age: (age.isdigit() and ((int(age)>=18  and "Can vote" ) or "Cannot vote")) or \
f(input("invalid input. Try again\nPlease enter your age: "))
print(f(input("Please enter your age: ")))

PS此代码适用于python3.x。
