【问题描述】:
这是我在这里的第一个问题,如果我写的太多,我最诚挚的歉意,并提前非常感谢您的阅读。
问题:
我写了一个函数,如果有必要,它应该调用自己 x 次,如果不成功则什么也不返回。但是,当函数似乎成功时,它仍然返回 None。
背景:我有许多代表 2009 年月份的目录。但并非所有月份都存在,因此如果是这种情况,我想获取上个月,检查该月的目录是否存在,如果不继续返回 1 个月,最多 6 个月。
您在下面看到 date_tag 中的月份 09,这在我的测试用例中不存在。 08 或 07 也没有。因此,函数应该返回 06,但它返回 None。
import pdb
import generate_months_module
import os
date_tag = '2000/2000/2009/09'
tree_location = '/Users/kelly/Documents/projects/komm/data/directory-tree/'
def iterateOverMonths(date_tag, x):
if x <= 0:
return_string = 'no dates found'
return return_string
else:
new_date = generate_months_module.handleDateShifts(date_tag)[1]
print '\tNEW DATE after calling handleDateShifts' + new_date
full_path = tree_location + '/' + new_date
if checkDirectoryExistance(full_path) == True:
print '\t'+ full_path + ' is a real path'
return full_path
else:
print 'dir does not exist'
iterateOverMonths(new_date, x-1)
def checkDirectoryExistance(dir_path):
"check if a directory exists, return true or false"
if os.path.isdir(dir_path) == True:
return True
else:
return False
print iterateOverMonths(date_tag, 6)
generate_months_module.handleDateShifts 应该只是获取上个月并返回它。 (这适用于其他测试用例,所以我非常怀疑问题出在这里!)
然后我的输出是:
6
NEW DATE after calling handleDateShifts2000/2000/2009/08
dir does not exist
5
NEW DATE after calling handleDateShifts2000/2000/2009/07
dir does not exist
4
NEW DATE after calling handleDateShifts2000/2000/2009/06
/Users/kelly/Documents/projects/komm/data/directory-tree/2000/2000/2009/06 is a real path
returning full path
None
当我在“return full_path”之前使用 pdb.set_trace() 时,似乎再次调用了该函数,尽管 IF 子句为 True,因此覆盖了我想要返回的“full_path”变量。
为什么没有返回路径“/Users/kelly/Documents/projects/komm/data/directory-tree/2000/2000/2009/06”??
导入函数:
如果有人对此感兴趣并想重新创建它,handleDateShifts 函数如下(抱歉,有点乱):
def handleDateShifts(corpus_date_string):
"get background corpus date strings ALSO call this function if month does not exist and need to go back even further"
century, decade, year, month = corpus_date_string.split('/')
if month == '01' or month == '02':
#handle date boundaries which can affect year, decade and cent
background_mo_1 = '11'
background_mo_2 = '12'
millenium_shift = re.search('[1-9][0][0][0]$', year)
century_shift = re.search('[1-9][0][0]$', year)
decade_shift = re.search('[1-9][0]$',year)
if century_shift or millenium_shift:
century = int(year) - 100
decade = int(year) - 10
year = int(year) - 1
elif decade_shift:
decade = int(year) - 10
year = int(year) - 1
elif not decade_shift and not century_shift:
year = int(year) - 1
background_1_string = str(century) +'/'+ str(decade) +'/'+ str(year) +'/'+ str(background_mo_1)
background_2_string = str(century) +'/'+ str(decade) +'/'+ str(year) +'/'+ str(background_mo_2)
else: #the cent/dec/year can stay the same
background_mo_1 = int(month) - 2
background_mo_2 = int(month) - 1
if len(str(background_mo_1)) == 1:
background_mo_1 = '0' + str(background_mo_1)
if len(str(background_mo_2)) == 1:
background_mo_2 = '0' + str(background_mo_2)
background_1_string = str(century) +'/'+ str(decade) +'/'+ str(year) +'/'+ str(background_mo_1)
background_2_string = str(century) +'/'+ str(decade) +'/'+ str(year)+'/'+ str(background_mo_2)
return background_1_string, background_2_string

请仔细检查
iterateOverMonths()中的缩进 -
谢谢!我修复了它,只是网站上的一个错字。
