我对Python和多线程编程非常陌生。基本上,我有一个脚本,将文件复制到另一个位置。我想把这个放在另一个线程,这样我就可以输出....表示脚本仍在运行。

我遇到的问题是,如果文件不能复制,它将抛出异常。如果在主线程中运行,这是可以的;但是,使用以下代码是无效的:

try:
    threadClass = TheThread(param1, param2, etc.)
    threadClass.start()   ##### **Exception takes place here**
except:
    print "Caught an exception"

在线程类本身中,我试图重新抛出异常,但它不起作用。我在这里看到有人问类似的问题,但他们似乎都在做一些比我试图做的更具体的事情(我不太理解所提供的解决方案)。我看到有人提到sys.exc_info()的用法,但我不知道在哪里或如何使用它。

编辑:线程类的代码如下:

class TheThread(threading.Thread):
    def __init__(self, sourceFolder, destFolder):
        threading.Thread.__init__(self)
        self.sourceFolder = sourceFolder
        self.destFolder = destFolder
    
    def run(self):
        try:
           shul.copytree(self.sourceFolder, self.destFolder)
        except:
           raise

当前回答

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。

其他回答

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])

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。

虽然不可能直接捕获在不同线程中抛出的异常,但下面的代码可以相当透明地获取与此功能非常接近的内容。子线程必须继承ExThread类而不是线程。线程和父线程在等待线程完成任务时必须调用child_thread.join_with_exception()方法,而不是child_thread.join()方法。

此实现的技术细节:当子线程抛出异常时,它将通过Queue传递给父线程,并在父线程中再次抛出。注意,在这种方法中没有忙碌等待。

#!/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 BaseException:
            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)

    def run_with_exception(self):
        thread_name = threading.current_thread().name
        raise MyException("An error in thread '{}'.".format(thread_name))

def main():
    t = MyThread()
    t.start()
    try:
        t.join_with_exception()
    except MyException as ex:
        thread_name = threading.current_thread().name
        print "Caught a MyException in thread '{}': {}".format(thread_name, ex)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

我认为其他的解决方案有点复杂,如果你唯一想要的是真正看到某个异常,而不是完全无视和盲目。

解决方案是创建一个自定义线程,从主线程获取记录器并记录任何异常。

class ThreadWithLoggedException(threading.Thread):
    """
    Similar to Thread but will log exceptions to passed logger.

    Args:
        logger: Logger instance used to log any exception in child thread

    Exception is also reachable via <thread>.exception from the main thread.
    """

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        try:
            self.logger = kwargs.pop("logger")
        except KeyError:
            raise Exception("Missing 'logger' in kwargs")
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.exception = None

    def run(self):
        try:
            if self._target is not None:
                self._target(*self._args, **self._kwargs)
        except Exception as exception:
            thread = threading.current_thread()
            self.exception = exception
            self.logger.exception(f"Exception in child thread {thread}: {exception}")
        finally:
            del self._target, self._args, self._kwargs

例子:

logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
logger.setLevel(logging.INFO)
logger.addHandler(logging.StreamHandler())

def serve():
    raise Exception("Earth exploded.")

th = ThreadWithLoggedException(target=serve, logger=logger)
th.start()

主线程输出:

Exception in child thread <ThreadWithLoggedException(Thread-1, started 139922384414464)>: Earth exploded.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/core/utils.py", line 108, in run
    self._target(*self._args, **self._kwargs)
  File "/myapp.py", line 105, in serve
    raise Exception("Earth exploded.")
Exception: Earth exploded.

Pygolang提供同步功能。工作组,特别是将异常从派生的工作线程传播到主线程。例如:

#!/usr/bin/env python
"""This program demostrates how with sync.WorkGroup an exception raised in
spawned thread is propagated into main thread which spawned the worker."""

from __future__ import print_function
from golang import sync, context

def T1(ctx, *argv):
    print('T1: run ... %r' % (argv,))
    raise RuntimeError('T1: problem')

def T2(ctx):
    print('T2: ran ok')

def main():
    wg = sync.WorkGroup(context.background())
    wg.go(T1, [1,2,3])
    wg.go(T2)

    try:
        wg.wait()
    except Exception as e:
        print('Tmain: caught exception: %r\n' %e)
        # reraising to see full traceback
        raise

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

在运行时给出以下结果:

T1: run ... ([1, 2, 3],)
T2: ran ok
Tmain: caught exception: RuntimeError('T1: problem',)

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./x.py", line 28, in <module>
    main()
  File "./x.py", line 21, in main
    wg.wait()
  File "golang/_sync.pyx", line 198, in golang._sync.PyWorkGroup.wait
    pyerr_reraise(pyerr)
  File "golang/_sync.pyx", line 178, in golang._sync.PyWorkGroup.go.pyrunf
    f(pywg._pyctx, *argv, **kw)
  File "./x.py", line 10, in T1
    raise RuntimeError('T1: problem')
RuntimeError: T1: problem

问题的原始代码将是:

    wg = sync.WorkGroup(context.background())

    def _(ctx):
        shul.copytree(sourceFolder, destFolder)
    wg.go(_)

    # waits for spawned worker to complete and, on error, reraises
    # its exception on the main thread.
    wg.wait()
