捕获线程异常并与调用方方法通信的一个简单方法是将字典或列表传递给worker方法。

示例(将字典传递给工作方法):

import threading

def my_method(throw_me):
    raise Exception(throw_me)

def worker(shared_obj, *args, **kwargs):
    try:
        shared_obj['target'](*args, **kwargs)
    except Exception as err:
        shared_obj['err'] = err

shared_obj = {'err':'', 'target': my_method}
throw_me = "Test"

th = threading.Thread(target=worker, args=(shared_obj, throw_me), kwargs={})
th.start()
th.join()

if shared_obj['err']:
    print(">>%s" % shared_obj['err'])

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。

我使用这个版本，它是最小的，它工作得很好。

class SafeThread(threading.Thread):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(SafeThread, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.exception = None

    def run(self) -> None:
        try:
            super(SafeThread, self).run()
        except Exception as ex:
            self.exception = ex
            traceback.print_exc()

    def join(self, *args, **kwargs) -> None:
        super(SafeThread, self).join(*args, **kwargs)
        if self.exception:
            raise self.exception

要使用它，只需替换线程。带安全线程的线程

t = SafeThread(target = some_function, args = (some, args,))
t.start()
# do something else here if you want as the thread runs in the background
t.join()

import threading
from typing import Any


class PropagatingThread(threading.Thread):
    """A Threading Class that raises errors it caught, and returns the return value of the target on join."""

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        self._target = None
        self._args = ()
        self._kwargs = {}
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.exception = None
        self.return_value = None
        assert self._target

    def run(self):
        """Don't override this if you want the behavior of this class, use target instead."""
        try:
            if self._target:
                self.return_value = self._target(*self._args, **self._kwargs)
        except Exception as e:
            self.exception = e
        finally:
            # see super().run() for why this is necessary
            del self._target, self._args, self._kwargs

    def join(self, timeout=None) -> Any:
        super().join(timeout)
        if self.exception:

        return self.return_value

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):
        """

        self._callback = callback
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)

    def run(self):

        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。
