python - While 1 与 While True。哪一个更Pythonic？

Question

这个问题已经有答案了:

What's the difference between "while 1" and "while True"? (11 个回答)

已关闭 10 年前。

我见过用 Python 编写相同内容的两种方法:

while 1: 
   # do something here

和

while True:
   # do something here

哪一个更Pythonic？

我已经知道 True is already a keyword , the differences等等，但我问的是哪个更Pythonic

Answer 1

没有实际差异。 1 和 True 在 python 中是相等的，这在将来也得到保证，所以可以使用你最喜欢的外观。

至于哪个是Pythonic，我认为完全避免此类循环是Pythonic，除非在极少数情况下，您实际上打算有一个无限循环。

您几乎总是可以使用显式终止条件而不是break语句来编写它们，并且显式优于隐式。

while 1 出现了 116 次。请注意，较旧的代码更有可能具有这种形式，因为 bool 在早期的 Python 中并不总是存在。
