最好的方法…定义一个全局变量，然后在线程函数中更改该变量。没有可以传递或取回的东西

from threading import Thread

# global var
radom_global_var = 5

def function():
    global random_global_var
    random_global_var += 1

domath = Thread(target=function)
domath.start()
domath.join()
print(random_global_var)

# result: 6

我知道这个线程是旧的....但我也遇到了同样的问题…如果你愿意使用thread.join()

import threading

class test:

    def __init__(self):
        self.msg=""

    def hello(self,bar):
        print('hello {}'.format(bar))
        self.msg="foo"


    def main(self):
        thread = threading.Thread(target=self.hello, args=('world!',))
        thread.start()
        thread.join()
        print(self.msg)

g=test()
g.main()

这是一个很老的问题，但我想分享一个简单的解决方案，它对我的开发过程有帮助。

这个答案背后的方法论是这样一个事实，即“新的”目标函数，内部是将原始函数的结果(通过__init__函数传递)通过所谓的闭包分配给包装器的结果实例属性。

这允许包装器类保留返回值以供调用者随时访问。

注意:这个方法不需要使用线程的任何mangded方法或私有方法。线程类，虽然没有考虑屈服函数(OP没有提到屈服函数)。

享受吧!

from threading import Thread as _Thread


class ThreadWrapper:
    def __init__(self, target, *args, **kwargs):
        self.result = None
        self._target = self._build_threaded_fn(target)
        self.thread = _Thread(
            target=self._target,
            *args,
            **kwargs
        )

    def _build_threaded_fn(self, func):
        def inner(*args, **kwargs):
            self.result = func(*args, **kwargs)
        return inner

此外，你可以用下面的代码运行pytest(假设你已经安装了它)来演示结果:

import time
from commons import ThreadWrapper


def test():

    def target():
        time.sleep(1)
        return 'Hello'

    wrapper = ThreadWrapper(target=target)
    wrapper.thread.start()

    r = wrapper.result
    assert r is None

    time.sleep(2)

    r = wrapper.result
    assert r == 'Hello'

我偷了kindall的答案，稍微整理了一下。

关键部分是为join()添加*args和**kwargs，以便处理超时

class threadWithReturn(Thread):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(threadWithReturn, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        
        self._return = None
    
    def run(self):
        if self._Thread__target is not None:
            self._return = self._Thread__target(*self._Thread__args, **self._Thread__kwargs)
    
    def join(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(threadWithReturn, self).join(*args, **kwargs)
        
        return self._return

更新答案如下

这是我得到最多好评的答案，所以我决定更新可以在py2和py3上运行的代码。

此外，我看到许多对这个问题的回答都显示出对Thread.join()缺乏理解。有些完全不能处理timeout参数。但是当你有(1)一个可以返回None的目标函数并且(2)你也将timeout参数传递给join()时，还有一种极端情况你应该注意。请参阅“TEST 4”以理解这个极端情况。

ThreadWithReturn类，用于py2和py3:

import sys
from threading import Thread
from builtins import super    # https://stackoverflow.com/a/30159479

_thread_target_key, _thread_args_key, _thread_kwargs_key = (
    ('_target', '_args', '_kwargs')
    if sys.version_info >= (3, 0) else
    ('_Thread__target', '_Thread__args', '_Thread__kwargs')
)

class ThreadWithReturn(Thread):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self._return = None
    
    def run(self):
        target = getattr(self, _thread_target_key)
        if target is not None:
            self._return = target(
                *getattr(self, _thread_args_key),
                **getattr(self, _thread_kwargs_key)
            )
    
    def join(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super().join(*args, **kwargs)
        return self._return

一些示例测试如下所示:

import time, random

# TEST TARGET FUNCTION
def giveMe(arg, seconds=None):
    if not seconds is None:
        time.sleep(seconds)
    return arg

# TEST 1
my_thread = ThreadWithReturn(target=giveMe, args=('stringy',))
my_thread.start()
returned = my_thread.join()
# (returned == 'stringy')

# TEST 2
my_thread = ThreadWithReturn(target=giveMe, args=(None,))
my_thread.start()
returned = my_thread.join()
# (returned is None)

# TEST 3
my_thread = ThreadWithReturn(target=giveMe, args=('stringy',), kwargs={'seconds': 5})
my_thread.start()
returned = my_thread.join(timeout=2)
# (returned is None) # because join() timed out before giveMe() finished

# TEST 4
my_thread = ThreadWithReturn(target=giveMe, args=(None,), kwargs={'seconds': 5})
my_thread.start()
returned = my_thread.join(timeout=random.randint(1, 10))

你能确定我们在测试4中可能遇到的极端情况吗?

问题是我们期望giveMe()返回None(参见TEST 2)，但我们也期望join()在超时时返回None。

None表示:

(1)这就是giveMe()返回的，或者

(2) join()超时

这个例子很简单，因为我们知道giveMe()总是返回None。但在真实的实例中(目标可能返回None或其他内容)，我们希望显式地检查发生了什么。

下面是如何解决这种极端情况:

# TEST 4
my_thread = ThreadWithReturn(target=giveMe, args=(None,), kwargs={'seconds': 5})
my_thread.start()
returned = my_thread.join(timeout=random.randint(1, 10))

if my_thread.isAlive():
    # returned is None because join() timed out
    # this also means that giveMe() is still running in the background
    pass
    # handle this based on your app's logic
else:
    # join() is finished, and so is giveMe()
    # BUT we could also be in a race condition, so we need to update returned, just in case
    returned = my_thread.join()

这是我根据@Kindall的回答创建的版本。

这个版本使得您所要做的就是输入带有参数的命令来创建新线程。

这是用Python 3.8做的:

from threading import Thread
from typing import Any

def test(plug, plug2, plug3):
    print(f"hello {plug}")
    print(f'I am the second plug : {plug2}')
    print(plug3)
    return 'I am the return Value!'

def test2(msg):
    return f'I am from the second test: {msg}'

def test3():
    print('hello world')

def NewThread(com, Returning: bool, *arguments) -> Any:
    """
    Will create a new thread for a function/command.

    :param com: Command to be Executed
    :param arguments: Arguments to be sent to Command
    :param Returning: True/False Will this command need to return anything
    """
    class NewThreadWorker(Thread):
        def __init__(self, group = None, target = None, name = None, args = (), kwargs = None, *,
                     daemon = None):
            Thread.__init__(self, group, target, name, args, kwargs, daemon = daemon)
            
            self._return = None
        
        def run(self):
            if self._target is not None:
                self._return = self._target(*self._args, **self._kwargs)
        
        def join(self):
            Thread.join(self)
            return self._return
    
    ntw = NewThreadWorker(target = com, args = (*arguments,))
    ntw.start()
    if Returning:
        return ntw.join()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    print(NewThread(test, True, 'hi', 'test', test2('hi')))
    NewThread(test3, True)

您可以在线程函数的作用域之上定义一个可变变量，并将结果添加到该变量中。(我还修改了代码，使其与python3兼容)

returns = {}
def foo(bar):
    print('hello {0}'.format(bar))
    returns[bar] = 'foo'

from threading import Thread
t = Thread(target=foo, args=('world!',))
t.start()
t.join()
print(returns)

返回{'world!”:“foo”}

如果使用函数input作为结果字典的键，则保证每个惟一的输入都在结果中给出一个条目
