python返回布尔值对象,尝试返回布尔值时的TypeError（“ bool”对象不可迭代”）...

I am having a strange problem. I have a method that returns a boolean. In turn I need the result of that function returned again since I cant directly call the method from the front-end. Here's my code:

# this uses bottle py framework and should return a value to the html front-end

@get('/create/additive/')

def createAdditive(name):

return pump.createAdditive(name)

def createAdditive(self, name):

additiveInsertQuery = """ INSERT INTO additives

SET name = '""" + name + """'"""

try:

self.cursor.execute(additiveInsertQuery)

self.db.commit()

return True

except:

self.db.rollback()

return False

This throws an exception: TypeError("'bool' object is not iterable",)

I don't get this error at all since I am not attempting to "iterate" the bool value, only to return it.

If I return a string instead of boolean or int it works as expected. What could be an issue here?

Traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "C:\Python33\lib\site-packages\bottle.py", line 821, in _cast

out = iter(out)

TypeError: 'bool' object is not iterable

Look at the traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "C:\Python33\lib\site-packages\bottle.py", line 821, in _cast

out = iter(out)

TypeError: 'bool' object is not iterable

Your code isn't iterating the value, but the code receiving it is.

The solution is: return an iterable. I suggest that you either convert the bool to a string (str(False)) or enclose it in a tuple ((False,)).

Always read the traceback: it's correct, and it's helpful.
