我喜欢的一种方法是基于观察者模式。我定义了一个信号类，线程用它向侦听器发出异常。它还可以用于从线程返回值。例子:

import threading

class Signal:
    def __init__(self):
        self._subscribers = list()

    def emit(self, *args, **kwargs):
        for func in self._subscribers:
            func(*args, **kwargs)

    def connect(self, func):
        self._subscribers.append(func)

    def disconnect(self, func):
        try:
            self._subscribers.remove(func)
        except ValueError:
            raise ValueError('Function {0} not removed from {1}'.format(func, self))


class WorkerThread(threading.Thread):

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(WorkerThread, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.Exception = Signal()
        self.Result = Signal()

    def run(self):
        if self._Thread__target is not None:
            try:
                self._return_value = self._Thread__target(*self._Thread__args, **self._Thread__kwargs)
            except Exception as e:
                self.Exception.emit(e)
            else:
                self.Result.emit(self._return_value)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    import time

    def handle_exception(exc):
        print exc.message

    def handle_result(res):
        print res

    def a():
        time.sleep(1)
        raise IOError('a failed')

    def b():
        time.sleep(2)
        return 'b returns'

    t = WorkerThread(target=a)
    t2 = WorkerThread(target=b)
    t.Exception.connect(handle_exception)
    t2.Result.connect(handle_result)
    t.start()
    t2.start()

    print 'Threads started'

    t.join()
    t2.join()
    print 'Done'

我没有足够的使用线程的经验来断言这是一种完全安全的方法。但这对我来说很管用，我喜欢这种灵活性。

如果在线程中发生异常，最好的方法是在连接期间在调用线程中重新引发它。您可以使用sys.exc_info()函数获取当前正在处理的异常的信息。此信息可以简单地存储为线程对象的属性，直到调用join，此时可以重新引发它。

注意，队列。队列(在其他回答中建议)在这个简单的情况下是不必要的，因为线程最多抛出1个异常，并且在抛出一个异常后立即完成。我们通过简单地等待线程完成来避免竞争条件。

例如，扩展ExcThread(如下)，覆盖excRun(而不是run)。

Python 2. x:

import threading

class ExcThread(threading.Thread):
  def excRun(self):
    pass

  def run(self):
    self.exc = None
    try:
      # Possibly throws an exception
      self.excRun()
    except:
      import sys
      self.exc = sys.exc_info()
      # Save details of the exception thrown but don't rethrow,
      # just complete the function

  def join(self):
    threading.Thread.join(self)
    if self.exc:
      msg = "Thread '%s' threw an exception: %s" % (self.getName(), self.exc[1])
      new_exc = Exception(msg)
      raise new_exc.__class__, new_exc, self.exc[2]

Python 3. x:

在Python 3中，raise的参数形式为3，因此将最后一行更改为:

raise new_exc.with_traceback(self.exc[2])

类似于RickardSjogren的方法，没有Queue, sys等，但也没有一些信号监听器:直接执行一个异常处理程序，对应于一个异常块。

#!/usr/bin/env python3

import threading

class ExceptionThread(threading.Thread):

    def __init__(self, callback=None, *args, **kwargs):
        """
        Redirect exceptions of thread to an exception handler.

        :param callback: function to handle occured exception
        :type callback: function(thread, exception)
        :param args: arguments for threading.Thread()
        :type args: tuple
        :param kwargs: keyword arguments for threading.Thread()
        :type kwargs: dict
        """
        self._callback = callback
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)

    def run(self):
        try:
            if self._target:
                self._target(*self._args, **self._kwargs)
        except BaseException as e:
            if self._callback is None:
                raise e
            else:
                self._callback(self, e)
        finally:
            # Avoid a refcycle if the thread is running a function with
            # an argument that has a member that points to the thread.
            del self._target, self._args, self._kwargs, self._callback

只有自我。_callback和run()中的except块是普通threading.Thread之外的。

使用裸例外并不是一个好的实践，因为您通常会获得比您讨价还价时更多的东西。

我建议修改except以只捕获您想要处理的异常。我不认为引发它有预期的效果，因为当你在外层try中实例化TheThread时，如果它引发一个异常，赋值永远不会发生。

相反，你可能只想提醒它，然后继续前进，比如:

def run(self):
    try:
       shul.copytree(self.sourceFolder, self.destFolder)
    except OSError, err:
       print err

然后，当异常被捕获时，您可以在那里处理它。然后，当外部try从TheThread捕获异常时，您知道它不是您已经处理过的异常，并将帮助您隔离流程流。

作为线程的新手，我花了很长时间来理解如何实现Mateusz Kobos的代码(如上)。这里有一个明确的版本，以帮助您了解如何使用它。

#!/usr/bin/env python

import sys
import threading
import Queue

class ExThread(threading.Thread):
    def __init__(self):
        threading.Thread.__init__(self)
        self.__status_queue = Queue.Queue()

    def run_with_exception(self):
        """This method should be overriden."""
        raise NotImplementedError

    def run(self):
        """This method should NOT be overriden."""
        try:
            self.run_with_exception()
        except Exception:
            self.__status_queue.put(sys.exc_info())
        self.__status_queue.put(None)

    def wait_for_exc_info(self):
        return self.__status_queue.get()

    def join_with_exception(self):
        ex_info = self.wait_for_exc_info()
        if ex_info is None:
            return
        else:
            raise ex_info[1]

class MyException(Exception):
    pass

class MyThread(ExThread):
    def __init__(self):
        ExThread.__init__(self)

    # This overrides the "run_with_exception" from class "ExThread"
    # Note, this is where the actual thread to be run lives. The thread
    # to be run could also call a method or be passed in as an object
    def run_with_exception(self):
        # Code will function until the int
        print "sleeping 5 seconds"
        import time
        for i in 1, 2, 3, 4, 5:
            print i
            time.sleep(1) 
        # Thread should break here
        int("str")
# I'm honestly not sure why these appear here? So, I removed them. 
# Perhaps Mateusz can clarify?        
#         thread_name = threading.current_thread().name
#         raise MyException("An error in thread '{}'.".format(thread_name))

if __name__ == '__main__':
    # The code lives in MyThread in this example. So creating the MyThread 
    # object set the code to be run (but does not start it yet)
    t = MyThread()
    # This actually starts the thread
    t.start()
    print
    print ("Notice 't.start()' is considered to have completed, although" 
           " the countdown continues in its new thread. So you code "
           "can tinue into new processing.")
    # Now that the thread is running, the join allows for monitoring of it
    try:
        t.join_with_exception()
    # should be able to be replace "Exception" with specific error (untested)
    except Exception, e: 
        print
        print "Exceptioon was caught and control passed back to the main thread"
        print "Do some handling here...or raise a custom exception "
        thread_name = threading.current_thread().name
        e = ("Caught a MyException in thread: '" + 
             str(thread_name) + 
             "' [" + str(e) + "]")
        raise Exception(e) # Or custom class of exception, such as MyException

问题是thread_obj.start()立即返回。您所生成的子线程在它自己的上下文中使用自己的堆栈执行。在那里发生的任何异常都在子线程的上下文中，并且在它自己的堆栈中。我现在能想到的一种将此信息传递给父线程的方法是使用某种消息传递，因此您可以研究一下。

试试这个尺寸:

import sys
import threading
import queue


class ExcThread(threading.Thread):

    def __init__(self, bucket):
        threading.Thread.__init__(self)
        self.bucket = bucket

    def run(self):
        try:
            raise Exception('An error occured here.')
        except Exception:
            self.bucket.put(sys.exc_info())


def main():
    bucket = queue.Queue()
    thread_obj = ExcThread(bucket)
    thread_obj.start()

    while True:
        try:
            exc = bucket.get(block=False)
        except queue.Empty:
            pass
        else:
            exc_type, exc_obj, exc_trace = exc
            # deal with the exception
            print exc_type, exc_obj
            print exc_trace

        thread_obj.join(0.1)
        if thread_obj.isAlive():
            continue
        else:
            break


if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()
