这是一个棘手的小问题，我想提出我的解决方案。我发现了一些其他的解决方案(异步。例如IO)看起来很有前途，但也呈现出一些黑盒子。队列/事件循环方法将您与某个实现联系在一起。然而，并发期货的源代码只有大约1000行，很容易理解。它让我很容易地解决了我的问题:创建临时的工作线程，而不需要太多的设置，并且能够在主线程中捕获异常。

我的解决方案使用并发期货API和线程API。它允许你创建一个worker，给你线程和未来。这样，你就可以加入线程来等待结果:

worker = Worker(test)
thread = worker.start()
thread.join()
print(worker.future.result())

.．.或者你可以让worker在完成时发送一个回调:

worker = Worker(test)
thread = worker.start(lambda x: print('callback', x))

.．.或者你可以循环直到事件完成:

worker = Worker(test)
thread = worker.start()

while True:
    print("waiting")
    if worker.future.done():
        exc = worker.future.exception()
        print('exception?', exc)
        result = worker.future.result()
        print('result', result)           
        break
    time.sleep(0.25)

代码如下:

from concurrent.futures import Future
import threading
import time

class Worker(object):
    def __init__(self, fn, args=()):
        self.future = Future()
        self._fn = fn
        self._args = args

    def start(self, cb=None):
        self._cb = cb
        self.future.set_running_or_notify_cancel()
        thread = threading.Thread(target=self.run, args=())
        thread.daemon = True #this will continue thread execution after the main thread runs out of code - you can still ctrl + c or kill the process
        thread.start()
        return thread

    def run(self):
        try:
            self.future.set_result(self._fn(*self._args))
        except BaseException as e:
            self.future.set_exception(e)

        if(self._cb):
            self._cb(self.future.result())

.．.和测试函数:

def test(*args):
    print('args are', args)
    time.sleep(2)
    raise Exception('foo')

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。

我喜欢这门课:

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:
            raise self.exception
        return self.return_value

并发。Futures模块使得在单独的线程(或进程)中工作并处理任何由此产生的异常变得简单:

import concurrent.futures
import shutil

def copytree_with_dots(src_path, dst_path):
    with concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=1) as executor:
        # Execute the copy on a separate thread,
        # creating a future object to track progress.
        future = executor.submit(shutil.copytree, src_path, dst_path)

        while future.running():
            # Print pretty dots here.
            pass

        # Return the value returned by shutil.copytree(), None.
        # Raise any exceptions raised during the copy process.
        return future.result()

并发。futures包含在Python 3.2中，并可作为早期版本的反向移植futures模块使用。

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。

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])
