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

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。

        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

这个问题有很多非常奇怪复杂的答案。我是不是把它简化了,因为对我来说,这似乎对大多数事情都足够了。

from threading import Thread

class PropagatingThread(Thread):
    def run(self):
        self.exc = None
        try:
            if hasattr(self, '_Thread__target'):
                # Thread uses name mangling prior to Python 3.
                self.ret = self._Thread__target(*self._Thread__args, **self._Thread__kwargs)
            else:
                self.ret = self._target(*self._args, **self._kwargs)
        except BaseException as e:
            self.exc = e

    def join(self, timeout=None):
        super(PropagatingThread, self).join(timeout)
        if self.exc:
            raise self.exc
        return self.ret

如果你确定你只会在一个或另一个版本的Python上运行,你可以将run()方法减少到只有被破坏的版本(如果你只在3之前的Python版本上运行),或者仅仅是干净的版本(如果你只在3开始的Python版本上运行)。

使用示例:

def f(*args, **kwargs):
    print(args)
    print(kwargs)
    raise Exception('I suck at this')

t = PropagatingThread(target=f, args=(5,), kwargs={'hello':'world'})
t.start()
t.join()

当您加入时,您将看到在另一个线程上引发异常。

如果您正在使用six或仅在Python 3上使用,则可以改进重新引发异常时获得的堆栈跟踪信息。您可以将内部异常包装在一个新的外部异常中,而不是仅在连接点处使用堆栈,并使用

six.raise_from(RuntimeError('Exception in thread'),self.exc)

or

raise RuntimeError('Exception in thread') from self.exc

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')

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。

    # 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")

#         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(e) + "]")
        raise Exception(e) # Or custom class of exception, such as MyException

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。
