1) bool类是从int类继承而来的

2) True/False 在python2中不是关键字,但是在python3是(True,False,None)

由于Python2中True/False不是关键字,因此我们可以对其进行任意的赋值

>>> True="test"
>>> True
'test'
>>> "test"==True
True
>>> 1==True
False
>>>

3) 由于bool是继承自int的子类,因此为了保证向下兼容性,在进行算术运算中,True/False会被当作int值来执行

>>> del True
>>> True+True
2
>>> False + False
0
>>>

4)While 1 比While True快

import timeit

def while_one():
i=0
while 1:
i+=1
if i==10000000:
break def while_true():
i=0
while True:
i+=1
if i==10000000:
break if __name__=="__main__":
t1=timeit.timeit(while_one,"from __main__ import while_one",number=3)
t2=timeit.timeit(while_true,"from __main__ import while_true", number=3)
#t1=timeit.timeit(while_one,"from __main__ import while_one",number=3)
print "while one : %s \nwhile true: %s " % (t1,t2) while one : 1.16112167105
while true: 1.66502957924

原因就是前提中提到的关键字的问题。由于Python2中,True/False不是关键字,因此我们可以对其进行任意的赋值,这就导致程序在每次循环时都需要对True/False的值进行检查;而对于1,则被程序进行了优化,而后不会再进行检查。

我们可以通过dis模块来查看while_one和while_true的字节码

import dis

def while_one():
while 1:
pass def while_true():
while True:
pass if __name__=="__main__":
print "while_one \n"
dis.dis(while_one) print "while_true \n"
dis.dis(while_true)

结果:

while_one

  4           0 SETUP_LOOP               4 (to 7)

  5     >>    3 JUMP_ABSOLUTE            3
6 POP_BLOCK
>> 7 LOAD_CONST 0 (None)
10 RETURN_VALUE
while_true 8 0 SETUP_LOOP 10 (to 13)
>> 3 LOAD_GLOBAL 0 (True)
6 POP_JUMP_IF_FALSE 12 9 9 JUMP_ABSOLUTE 3
>> 12 POP_BLOCK
>> 13 LOAD_CONST 0 (None)
16 RETURN_VALUE

可以看出,正如上面所讲到的,在while True的时候,字节码中多出了几行语句,正是这几行语句进行了True值的检查

而在Python3中,由于True/False已经是关键字了,不允许进行重新赋值,因此,其执行结果与while 1不再有区别

5) if x==True or if x:

后者比前者快

#! python2
#-*- coding:utf-8 -*- import timeit def if_x_eq_true():
x=True
if x==True:
pass def if_x():
x=True
if x:
pass if __name__=="__main__":
t1=timeit.timeit(if_x_eq_true,"from __main__ import if_x_eq_true", number=1000000)
t2=timeit.timeit(if_x,"from __main__ import if_x",number=1000000)
print "if_x_eq_true: %s \n if_x: %s" % (t1,t2) if_x_eq_true: 0.186029813246
if_x: 0.120894725822

字节码:

import dis

def if_x_eq_true():
x=True
if x==True:
pass def if_x():
x=True
if x:
pass if __name__=="__main__":
print "if_x_eq_true \n"
dis.dis(if_x_eq_true) print "if_x \n"
dis.dis(if_x)

结果

if_x_eq_true
