Python员工层级代码输出异常：显示单个字符而非完整员工字符串

问题根源 #

你的函数声明返回类型是List[str]，但最后却返回了用\n拼接好的字符串output_str。当调用这个函数的代码把返回值当作列表处理时，Python会把字符串当成可迭代对象，将每个字符拆成单独的元素，最终导致逐行显示单个字符。

两种修复方案 #

方案1：修改返回类型为字符串（适合直接输出场景）

把函数的返回类型注解改成str，保持现有拼接逻辑：

def get_employee_hierarchy(self, manager_name: str) -> str:
    output_tree = []

    def build_hierarchy(employee_name, level=0):
        employee = self._employee_book.get(employee_name)
        if not employee:
            return []

        indent = "\t" * level
        employee_str = f"{indent}Employee [name={employee.get_name()}, gender={employee.get_gender().value}]"
        hierarchy = [employee_str]

        direct_reports = self.get_direct_reports(employee_name)
        for direct_report in direct_reports:
            hierarchy.extend(build_hierarchy(direct_report.get_name(), level + 1))

        return hierarchy

    hierarchy = build_hierarchy(manager_name)
    output_tree.extend(hierarchy)

    # Join the hierarchy items into a single string with newlines
    output_str = '\n'.join(output_tree)

    return output_str

方案2：直接返回列表（适合后续需要对每行单独处理的场景）

去掉字符串拼接步骤，直接返回构建好的层级列表：

def get_employee_hierarchy(self, manager_name: str) -> List[str]:
    def build_hierarchy(employee_name, level=0):
        employee = self._employee_book.get(employee_name)
        if not employee:
            return []

        indent = "\t" * level
        employee_str = f"{indent}Employee [name={employee.get_name()}, gender={employee.get_gender().value}]"
        hierarchy = [employee_str]

        direct_reports = self.get_direct_reports(employee_name)
        for direct_report in direct_reports:
            hierarchy.extend(build_hierarchy(direct_report.get_name(), level + 1))

        return hierarchy

    return build_hierarchy(manager_name)

说明 #

方案1适合直接把结果打印输出的场景，方案2保留了列表格式，方便后续对每一行员工信息做进一步处理。根据你的调用场景选择即可。
