自从2010年这篇文章发布以来，事情发生了很大的变化，我还没有尝试过所有其他的答案，但我尝试了一些，我发现使用python3.6对我来说这是最好的。

在AWS上运行时，我每秒可以获取大约150个独特的域名。

import concurrent.futures
import requests
import time

out = []
CONNECTIONS = 100
TIMEOUT = 5

tlds = open('../data/sample_1k.txt').read().splitlines()
urls = ['http://{}'.format(x) for x in tlds[1:]]

def load_url(url, timeout):
    ans = requests.head(url, timeout=timeout)
    return ans.status_code

with concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=CONNECTIONS) as executor:
    future_to_url = (executor.submit(load_url, url, TIMEOUT) for url in urls)
    time1 = time.time()
    for future in concurrent.futures.as_completed(future_to_url):
        try:
            data = future.result()
        except Exception as exc:
            data = str(type(exc))
        finally:
            out.append(data)

            print(str(len(out)),end="\r")

    time2 = time.time()

print(f'Took {time2-time1:.2f} s')

如果您希望获得尽可能好的性能，您可能会考虑使用异步I/O而不是线程。与成千上万个操作系统线程相关的开销是不小的，Python解释器内的上下文切换甚至增加了更多的开销。线程当然可以完成工作，但我怀疑异步路由将提供更好的整体性能。

具体来说，我建议使用Twisted库中的异步web客户端(http://www.twistedmatrix.com)。它有一个公认的陡峭的学习曲线，但一旦你很好地掌握了Twisted的异步编程风格，它就很容易使用。

Twisted的异步web客户端API的HowTo可以在以下地址找到:

http://twistedmatrix.com/documents/current/web/howto/client.html

Twistedless解决方案:

from urlparse import urlparse
from threading import Thread
import httplib, sys
from Queue import Queue

concurrent = 200

def doWork():
    while True:
        url = q.get()
        status, url = getStatus(url)
        doSomethingWithResult(status, url)
        q.task_done()

def getStatus(ourl):
    try:
        url = urlparse(ourl)
        conn = httplib.HTTPConnection(url.netloc)   
        conn.request("HEAD", url.path)
        res = conn.getresponse()
        return res.status, ourl
    except:
        return "error", ourl

def doSomethingWithResult(status, url):
    print status, url

q = Queue(concurrent * 2)
for i in range(concurrent):
    t = Thread(target=doWork)
    t.daemon = True
    t.start()
try:
    for url in open('urllist.txt'):
        q.put(url.strip())
    q.join()
except KeyboardInterrupt:
    sys.exit(1)

这个方案比twisted方案稍微快一点，并且使用更少的CPU。

(下一个项目的自我提示)

Python 3解决方案只使用请求。它是最简单且快速的，不需要多处理或复杂的异步库。

最重要的方面是重用连接，特别是对于HTTPS (TLS需要额外的往返才能打开)。注意，连接是特定于子域的。如果在多个域上抓取多个页面，则可以对url列表进行排序，以最大化连接重用(它有效地按域进行排序)。

当给定足够的线程时，它将与任何异步代码一样快。(请求在等待响应时释放python GIL)。
