这是我在这里的第一个问题,如果我写得太多了,我深表歉意,非常感谢你们抽时间来看。

问题:

我写了一个函数,它应该在必要时调用自己x次,如果没有成功就返回空值。但是,当这个函数看起来成功时,它仍然返回None。

背景:我有一些文件夹,代表2009年的月份。不过,并不是所有的月份都有,所以如果某个月份不存在,我想获取上一个月份,检查那个月份的文件夹是否存在,如果不存在,最多再往回查找一个月,最多查6个月。

在下面的日期标签中,你会看到09这个月份,在我的测试案例中它并不存在。08和07也不存在。因此,这个函数应该返回06,但它却返回了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这个函数应该只是获取上一个月份并返回它。(在其他测试案例中这个功能是正常的,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,似乎这个函数被再次调用,尽管IF条件为真,因此覆盖了我想要返回的“full_path”变量。

为什么路径“/Users/kelly/Documents/projects/komm/data/directory-tree/2000/2000/2009/06”没有被返回??

导入的函数:

如果有人感兴趣并想要重现这个,handleDateShifts函数如下(抱歉,它有点乱):

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

在这个分支中你没有返回任何东西(你的结果就丢失了):

    else:
        print 'dir does not exist'                                                                                                                       
        iterateOverMonths(new_date, x-1)

如果函数执行完毕没有明确写 return <smth>,那么它会返回 None
