当__bool__没有返回True或False时,bool会抱怨.
>>> class BoolFail:
... def __bool__(self):
... return 'bogus'
...
>>> bool(BoolFail())
[...]
TypeError: __bool__ should return bool, returned str
但是,没有内置类型这种疯狂.
DSM做了一个非常有价值的评论:流行的numpy库有bool会产生错误的例子.
>>> import numpy as np
>>> a = np.array([[1],[2]])
>>> bool(a)
[...]
ValueError: The truth value of an array with more than one element is ambiguous. Use a.any() or a.all()
Standard, near-universal stdlib example for things like this: a weakref.proxy to a dead object will raise a ReferenceError for almost any operation, including bool.
>>> import weakref
>>> class Foo:
... pass
...
>>> bool(weakref.proxy(Foo()))
[...]
ReferenceError: weakly-referenced object no longer exists
这不是bool独有的,任何使用其dead参数的函数都可能抛出此错误,例如myfunc = lambda x:print(x).
