下面的函数foo返回一个字符串'foo'。我如何才能获得从线程的目标返回的值'foo' ?
from threading import Thread
def foo(bar):
print('hello {}'.format(bar))
return 'foo'
thread = Thread(target=foo, args=('world!',))
thread.start()
return_value = thread.join()
上面所示的“一种明显的方法”不起作用:thread.join()返回None。
我正在使用这个包装器,它可以轻松地将任何函数转换为在线程中运行-照顾它的返回值或异常。它不会增加队列开销。
def threading_func(f):
"""Decorator for running a function in a thread and handling its return
value or exception"""
def start(*args, **kw):
def run():
try:
th.ret = f(*args, **kw)
except:
th.exc = sys.exc_info()
def get(timeout=None):
th.join(timeout)
if th.exc:
raise th.exc[0], th.exc[1], th.exc[2] # py2
##raise th.exc[1] #py3
return th.ret
th = threading.Thread(None, run)
th.exc = None
th.get = get
th.start()
return th
return start
用法示例
def f(x):
return 2.5 * x
th = threading_func(f)(4)
print("still running?:", th.is_alive())
print("result:", th.get(timeout=1.0))
@threading_func
def th_mul(a, b):
return a * b
th = th_mul("text", 2.5)
try:
print(th.get())
except TypeError:
print("exception thrown ok.")
线程模块注意事项
线程函数的舒适返回值和异常处理是“python”的常见需求,而且threading模块应该已经提供了——可能直接在标准Thread类中。对于简单的任务,ThreadPool有太多的开销——3个管理线程,很多官僚主义。不幸的是,线程的布局最初是从Java中复制的——例如,从仍然无用的构造函数参数组1 (!)
Kindall在Python3中的回答
class ThreadWithReturnValue(Thread):
def __init__(self, group=None, target=None, name=None,
args=(), kwargs={}, *, daemon=None):
Thread.__init__(self, group, target, name, args, kwargs, daemon)
self._return = None
def run(self):
try:
if self._target:
self._return = self._target(*self._args, **self._kwargs)
finally:
del self._target, self._args, self._kwargs
def join(self,timeout=None):
Thread.join(self,timeout)
return self._return
一种常见的解决方案是用装饰器来包装函数foo
result = queue.Queue()
def task_wrapper(*args):
result.put(target(*args))
那么整个代码可能是这样的
result = queue.Queue()
def task_wrapper(*args):
result.put(target(*args))
threads = [threading.Thread(target=task_wrapper, args=args) for args in args_list]
for t in threads:
t.start()
while(True):
if(len(threading.enumerate()) < max_num):
break
for t in threads:
t.join()
return result
Note
一个重要的问题是返回值可能是无序的。
(事实上,返回值不一定保存到队列中,因为您可以选择任意线程安全的数据结构)
使用队列:
import threading, queue
def calc_square(num, out_queue1):
l = []
for x in num:
l.append(x*x)
out_queue1.put(l)
arr = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]
out_queue1=queue.Queue()
t1=threading.Thread(target=calc_square, args=(arr,out_queue1))
t1.start()
t1.join()
print (out_queue1.get())
