复合语句包含 (分组) 其它语句;它们以某种方式影响 (或控制) 其它语句的执行。一般而言,复合语句跨多行,尽管简单化身可以将整个复合语句包含在一行中。
The if , while and for statements implement traditional control flow constructs. try specifies exception handlers and/or cleanup code for a group of statements. Function and class definitions are also syntactically compound statements.
Compound statements consist of one or more ‘clauses.’ A clause consists of a header and a ‘suite.’ The clause headers of a particular compound statement are all at the same indentation level. Each clause header begins with a uniquely identifying keyword and ends with a colon. A suite is a group of statements controlled by a clause. A suite can be one or more semicolon-separated simple statements on the same line as the header, following the header’s colon, or it can be one or more indented statements on subsequent lines. Only the latter form of suite can contain nested compound statements; the following is illegal, mostly because it wouldn’t be clear to which if clause a following else clause would belong:
if test1: if test2: print x
Also note that the semicolon binds tighter than the colon in this context, so that in the following example, either all or none of the print statements are executed:
if x < y < z: print x; print y; print z
汇总:
compound_stmt ::= if_stmt | while_stmt | for_stmt | try_stmt | with_stmt | funcdef | classdef | decorated suite ::= stmt_list NEWLINE | NEWLINE INDENT statement+ DEDENT statement ::= stmt_list NEWLINE | compound_stmt stmt_list ::= simple_stmt (";" simple_stmt)* [";"]
Note that statements always end in a NEWLINE possibly followed by a DEDENT . Also note that optional continuation clauses always begin with a keyword that cannot start a statement, thus there are no ambiguities (the ‘dangling else ‘ problem is solved in Python by requiring nested if statements to be indented).
The formatting of the grammar rules in the following sections places each clause on a separate line for clarity.
The if 语句用于条件执行:
if_stmt ::= "if" expression ":" suite ( "elif" expression ":" suite )* ["else" ":" suite]
It selects exactly one of the suites by evaluating the expressions one by one until one is found to be true (see section 布尔运算 for the definition of true and false); then that suite is executed (and no other part of the if statement is executed or evaluated). If all expressions are false, the suite of the else clause, if present, is executed.
The while 语句用于重复执行只要表达式为 True:
while_stmt ::= "while" expression ":" suite ["else" ":" suite]
这将反复测试表达式,若为 True,执行第一套件;若表达式为 False (可能是首次测试),执行套件 else 子句,若它存在,执行并循环终止。
A break 语句在第一套件中执行将终止循环而不执行 else 子句套件。 continue 语句在第一套件中执行将跳过套件的其余部分并回到测试表达式。
The for statement is used to iterate over the elements of a sequence (such as a string, tuple or list) or other iterable object:
for_stmt ::= "for" target_list "in" expression_list ":" suite ["else" ":" suite]
The expression list is evaluated once; it should yield an iterable object. An iterator is created for the result of the expression_list . The suite is then executed once for each item provided by the iterator, in the order of ascending indices. Each item in turn is assigned to the target list using the standard rules for assignments, and then the suite is executed. When the items are exhausted (which is immediately when the sequence is empty), the suite in the else clause, if present, is executed, and the loop terminates.
A break 语句在第一套件中执行将终止循环而不执行 else 子句套件。 continue statement executed in the first suite skips the rest of the suite and continues with the next item, or with the else clause if there was no next item.
The suite may assign to the variable(s) in the target list; this does not affect the next item assigned to it.
The target list is not deleted when the loop is finished, but if the sequence is empty, it will not have been assigned to at all by the loop. Hint: the built-in function range() returns a sequence of integers suitable to emulate the effect of Pascal’s for i := a to b do ; e.g., range(3) returns the list [0, 1, 2] .
注意
There is a subtlety when the sequence is being modified by the loop (this can only occur for mutable sequences, i.e. lists). An internal counter is used to keep track of which item is used next, and this is incremented on each iteration. When this counter has reached the length of the sequence the loop terminates. This means that if the suite deletes the current (or a previous) item from the sequence, the next item will be skipped (since it gets the index of the current item which has already been treated). Likewise, if the suite inserts an item in the sequence before the current item, the current item will be treated again the next time through the loop. This can lead to nasty bugs that can be avoided by making a temporary copy using a slice of the whole sequence, e.g.,
for x in a[:]:
if x < 0: a.remove(x)
The try 语句为一组语句指定异常处理程序和/或清理代码:
try_stmt ::= try1_stmt | try2_stmt try1_stmt ::= "try" ":" suite ("except" [expression [("as" | ",") identifier]] ":" suite)+ ["else" ":" suite] ["finally" ":" suite] try2_stmt ::= "try" ":" suite "finally" ":" suite
Changed in version 2.5: In previous versions of Python, try ... except ... finally did not work. try ... except had to be nested in try ... finally .
The except clause(s) specify one or more exception handlers. When no exception occurs in the try clause, no exception handler is executed. When an exception occurs in the try suite, a search for an exception handler is started. This search inspects the except clauses in turn until one is found that matches the exception. An expression-less except clause, if present, must be last; it matches any exception. For an except clause with an expression, that expression is evaluated, and the clause matches the exception if the resulting object is “compatible” with the exception. An object is compatible with an exception if it is the class or a base class of the exception object, or a tuple containing an item compatible with the exception.
If no except clause matches the exception, the search for an exception handler continues in the surrounding code and on the invocation stack. [1]
If the evaluation of an expression in the header of an except clause raises an exception, the original search for a handler is canceled and a search starts for the new exception in the surrounding code and on the call stack (it is treated as if the entire try statement raised the exception).
When a matching except clause is found, the exception is assigned to the target specified in that except clause, if present, and the except clause’s suite is executed. All except clauses must have an executable block. When the end of this block is reached, execution continues normally after the entire try statement. (This means that if two nested handlers exist for the same exception, and the exception occurs in the try clause of the inner handler, the outer handler will not handle the exception.)
Before an except clause’s suite is executed, details about the exception are assigned to three variables in the sys 模块: sys.exc_type receives the object identifying the exception; sys.exc_value receives the exception’s parameter; sys.exc_traceback receives a traceback object (see section 标准类型层次结构 ) identifying the point in the program where the exception occurred. These details are also available through the sys.exc_info() function, which returns a tuple (exc_type, exc_value, exc_traceback) . Use of the corresponding variables is deprecated in favor of this function, since their use is unsafe in a threaded program. As of Python 1.5, the variables are restored to their previous values (before the call) when returning from a function that handled an exception.
可选 else clause is executed if and when control flows off the end of the try 子句。 [2] Exceptions in the else clause are not handled by the preceding except clauses.
若 finally is present, it specifies a ‘cleanup’ handler. The try clause is executed, including any except and else clauses. If an exception occurs in any of the clauses and is not handled, the exception is temporarily saved. The finally clause is executed. If there is a saved exception, it is re-raised at the end of the finally clause. If the finally clause raises another exception or executes a return or break statement, the saved exception is discarded:
>>> def f(): ... try: ... 1/0 ... finally: ... return 42 ... >>> f() 42
The exception information is not available to the program during execution of the finally 子句。
当 return , break or continue statement is executed in the try suite of a try ... finally statement, the finally clause is also executed ‘on the way out.’ A continue statement is illegal in the finally clause. (The reason is a problem with the current implementation — this restriction may be lifted in the future).
The return value of a function is determined by the last return statement executed. Since the finally clause always executes, a return statement executed in the finally clause will always be the last one executed:
>>> def foo(): ... try: ... return 'try' ... finally: ... return 'finally' ... >>> foo() 'finally'
可以找到有关异常的额外信息在章节 异常 , and information on using the raise statement to generate exceptions may be found in section raise 语句 .
2.5 版新增。
The with statement is used to wrap the execution of a block with methods defined by a context manager (see section with 语句上下文管理器 )。这允许常见 try ... except ... finally usage patterns to be encapsulated for convenient reuse.
with_stmt ::= "with" with_item ("," with_item)* ":" suite
with_item ::= expression ["as" target]
The execution of the with statement with one “item” proceeds as follows:
The context expression (the expression given in the with_item ) is evaluated to obtain a context manager.
The context manager’s __exit__() is loaded for later use.
The context manager’s __enter__() method is invoked.
If a target was included in the with statement, the return value from __enter__() is assigned to it.
注意
The with statement guarantees that if the __enter__() method returns without an error, then __exit__() will always be called. Thus, if an error occurs during the assignment to the target list, it will be treated the same as an error occurring within the suite would be. See step 6 below.
The suite is executed.
The context manager’s __exit__() method is invoked. If an exception caused the suite to be exited, its type, value, and traceback are passed as arguments to __exit__() . Otherwise, three None arguments are supplied.
If the suite was exited due to an exception, and the return value from the __exit__() method was false, the exception is reraised. If the return value was true, the exception is suppressed, and execution continues with the statement following the with 语句。
If the suite was exited for any reason other than an exception, the return value from __exit__() is ignored, and execution proceeds at the normal location for the kind of exit that was taken.
With more than one item, the context managers are processed as if multiple with statements were nested:
with A() as a, B() as b: suite
相当于
with A() as a: with B() as b: suite
注意
In Python 2.5, the with statement is only allowed when the with_statement feature has been enabled. It is always enabled in Python 2.6.
2.7 版改变: 支持多上下文表达式。

函数定义定义用户定义的函数对象 (见章节 标准类型层次结构 ):
decorated ::= decorators (classdef | funcdef) decorators ::= decorator+ decorator ::= "@" dotted_name ["(" [argument_list [","]] ")"] NEWLINE funcdef ::= "def" funcname "(" [parameter_list] ")" ":" suite dotted_name ::= identifier ("." identifier)* parameter_list ::= (defparameter ",")* ( "*" identifier ["," "**" identifier] | "**" identifier | defparameter [","] ) defparameter ::= parameter ["=" expression] sublist ::= parameter ("," parameter)* [","] parameter ::= identifier | "(" sublist ")" funcname ::= identifier
函数定义是可执行语句。它的执行是把当前本地名称空间中的函数名称绑定到函数对象 (围绕函数可执行代码的包裹器)。此函数对象包含当前全局名称空间 (作为要使用的全局名称空间) 的引用,当函数被调用时。
函数定义不执行函数本体;这才获得执行,当函数被调用时。 [3]
函数定义可以被包裹通过一个或多个 装饰器 expressions. Decorator expressions are evaluated when the function is defined, in the scope that contains the function definition. The result must be a callable, which is invoked with the function object as the only argument. The returned value is bound to the function name instead of the function object. Multiple decorators are applied in nested fashion. For example, the following code:
@f1(arg) @f2 def func(): pass
相当于:
def func(): pass func = f1(arg)(f2(func))
When one or more top-level 参数 拥有形式 参数 = 表达式 ,函数被称为拥有 "默认参数值"。对于具有默认值的参数,相应 argument may be omitted from a call, in which case the parameter’s default value is substituted. If a parameter has a default value, all following parameters must also have a default value — this is a syntactic restriction that is not expressed by the grammar.
Default parameter values are evaluated when the function definition is executed. 这意味着表达式仅评估一次,当定义函数时,且每次调用都使用相同 "预计算" 值。这对理解当默认参数为可变对象 (譬如:列表或字典) 尤其重要:若函数修改对象 (如:把项追加到列表),则默认值被实际修改。一般来说,这不在计划内。解决这的办法是使用 None 作为默认值,并在函数本体中明确测试它,如:
def whats_on_the_telly(penguin=None): if penguin is None: penguin = [] penguin.append("property of the zoo") return penguin
函数调用语义的更详细描述在章节 调用 . A function call always assigns values to all parameters mentioned in the parameter list, either from position arguments, from keyword arguments, or from default values. If the form “ *identifier 存在,它被初始化成接收任何多余位置参数的元组,默认为空元组。若形式 **identifier ” is present, it is initialized to a new dictionary receiving any excess keyword arguments, defaulting to a new empty dictionary.
创建立即用于表达式的匿名函数 (不绑定到名称的函数) 也是可能的。这使用 Lambda 表达式,描述在章节 Lambda 。注意,Lambda 表达式仅仅是简化函数定义的简写;函数的定义在 def 语句可以传递或赋值另一名称,就像通过 Lambda 表达式定义的函数。 def ” form is actually more powerful since it allows the execution of multiple statements.
程序员注意: 函数是首类对象。 def ” form executed inside a function definition defines a local function that can be returned or passed around. Free variables used in the nested function can access the local variables of the function containing the def. See section 命名和绑定 了解细节。
类定义定义类对象 (见章节 标准类型层次结构 ):
classdef ::= "class" classname [inheritance] ":" suite inheritance ::= "(" [expression_list] ")" classname ::= identifier
A class definition is an executable statement. It first evaluates the inheritance list, if present. Each item in the inheritance list should evaluate to a class object or class type which allows subclassing. The class’s suite is then executed in a new execution frame (see section 命名和绑定 ), using a newly created local namespace and the original global namespace. (Usually, the suite contains only function definitions.) When the class’s suite finishes execution, its execution frame is discarded but its local namespace is saved. [4] A class object is then created using the inheritance list for the base classes and the saved local namespace for the attribute dictionary. The class name is bound to this class object in the original local namespace.
程序员注意: Variables defined in the class definition are class variables; they are shared by all instances. To create instance variables, they can be set in a method with self.name = value . Both class and instance variables are accessible through the notation “ self.name ”, and an instance variable hides a class variable with the same name when accessed in this way. Class variables can be used as defaults for instance variables, but using mutable values there can lead to unexpected results. For 新样式类 es, descriptors can be used to create instance variables with different implementation details.
Class definitions, like function definitions, may be wrapped by one or more 装饰器 expressions. The evaluation rules for the decorator expressions are the same as for functions. The result must be a class object, which is then bound to the class name.
