I am opening a file which has 100,000 URL's. I need to send an HTTP request to each URL and print the status code. I am using Python 2.6, and so far looked at the many confusing ways Python implements threading/concurrency. I have even looked at the python concurrence library, but cannot figure out how to write this program correctly. Has anyone come across a similar problem? I guess generally I need to know how to perform thousands of tasks in Python as fast as possible - I suppose that means 'concurrently'.

pip install requests-threads

使用实例使用async/await - send 100个并发请求

from requests_threads import AsyncSession

session = AsyncSession(n=100)

async def _main():
    rs = []
    for _ in range(100):
        rs.append(await session.get('http://httpbin.org/get'))
    print(rs)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    session.run(_main)

此示例仅适用于Python 3。您还可以提供自己的asyncio事件循环!

使用实例Twisted

from twisted.internet.defer import inlineCallbacks
from twisted.internet.task import react
from requests_threads import AsyncSession

session = AsyncSession(n=100)

@inlineCallbacks
def main(reactor):
    responses = []
    for i in range(100):
        responses.append(session.get('http://httpbin.org/get'))

    for response in responses:
        r = yield response
        print(r)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    react(main)

这个例子在Python 2和Python 3上都可以运行。

也许这对我的回购有帮助,一个基本的例子, 用python编写快速异步HTTP请求

使用线程池是一个很好的选择,这将使这相当容易。不幸的是,python并没有一个标准库来简化线程池。但这里有一个不错的图书馆,你应该开始: http://www.chrisarndt.de/projects/threadpool/

来自他们网站的代码示例:

pool = ThreadPool(poolsize)
requests = makeRequests(some_callable, list_of_args, callback)
[pool.putRequest(req) for req in requests]
pool.wait()

希望这能有所帮助。

使用grequests,它是requests + Gevent模块的组合。

GRequests允许您使用带有Gevent的Requests来轻松地生成异步HTTP请求。

用法很简单:

import grequests

urls = [
   'http://www.heroku.com',
   'http://tablib.org',
   'http://httpbin.org',
   'http://python-requests.org',
   'http://kennethreitz.com'
]

创建一组未发送的请求:

>>> rs = (grequests.get(u) for u in urls)

同时发送:

>>> grequests.map(rs)
[<Response [200]>, <Response [200]>, <Response [200]>, <Response [200]>, <Response [200]>]

对于您的情况,线程可能会做的技巧,因为您可能会花费大部分时间等待响应。标准库中有一些有用的模块,如Queue,可能会有所帮助。

我以前做过类似的并行下载文件的事情,对我来说已经足够好了,但它不是你所说的那种规模。

如果您的任务对cpu的限制更大,您可能需要考虑multiprocessing模块,它将允许您利用更多的cpu /内核/线程(更多的进程不会相互阻塞,因为锁定是每个进程)

这个扭曲的异步web客户端运行得相当快。

#!/usr/bin/python2.7

from twisted.internet import reactor
from twisted.internet.defer import Deferred, DeferredList, DeferredLock
from twisted.internet.defer import inlineCallbacks
from twisted.web.client import Agent, HTTPConnectionPool
from twisted.web.http_headers import Headers
from pprint import pprint
from collections import defaultdict
from urlparse import urlparse
from random import randrange
import fileinput

pool = HTTPConnectionPool(reactor)
pool.maxPersistentPerHost = 16
agent = Agent(reactor, pool)
locks = defaultdict(DeferredLock)
codes = {}

def getLock(url, simultaneous = 1):
    return locks[urlparse(url).netloc, randrange(simultaneous)]

@inlineCallbacks
def getMapping(url):
    # Limit ourselves to 4 simultaneous connections per host
    # Tweak this number, but it should be no larger than pool.maxPersistentPerHost 
    lock = getLock(url,4)
    yield lock.acquire()
    try:
        resp = yield agent.request('HEAD', url)
        codes[url] = resp.code
    except Exception as e:
        codes[url] = str(e)
    finally:
        lock.release()


dl = DeferredList(getMapping(url.strip()) for url in fileinput.input())
dl.addCallback(lambda _: reactor.stop())

reactor.run()
pprint(codes)

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。
