Pythonにおける条件分岐のベストプラクティス

1condition = True
2
3### Bad Example
4if condition == True:
5    pass
6
7### Good Example
8if condition:
9    pass

 1age = 15
 2is_student = True
 3
 4### Bad Example
 5# Complex condition
 6if (age > 18 and age < 65) or (is_student and age > 15):
 7    pass
 8
 9### Good Example
10# Improving readability
11is_working_age = 18 < age < 65
12is_eligible_student = is_student and age > 15
13
14if is_working_age or is_eligible_student:

 5# Example of short-circuiting with 'and'
 6if user and user.is_active:
 7    # If user is None, user.is_active will NOT be evaluated
 8    print("Active user found.")
 9
10# Example of short-circuiting with 'or'
11if user.is_admin or expensive_check(user):

14else:

 1age = 15
 2is_student = True
 3
 4### Unclear example
 5# This is interpreted as: age > 18 and (age < 65 or is_student)
 6if age > 18 and age < 65 or is_student:
 7    pass
 8
 9### Clear example
10# Explicit parentheses make the intended logic obvious
11if (age > 18 and age < 65) or is_student:
12    pass

3### Bad Example

7### Good Example
8if items:

 8            if resource.is_available:

 4# Regular if statement

10# Simplified using an inline if
