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。
当前回答
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 (!)

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
如上所述，多处理池比基本线程要慢得多。使用一些回答中提出的队列是一种非常有效的替代方法。我已经将它与字典一起使用，以便能够运行许多小线程，并通过将它们与字典结合来恢复多个答案:
#!/usr/bin/env python3
import threading
# use Queue for python2
import queue
import random
LETTERS = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
LETTERS = [ x for x in LETTERS ]
NUMBERS = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
def randoms(k, q):
result = dict()
result['letter'] = random.choice(LETTERS)
result['number'] = random.choice(NUMBERS)
q.put({k: result})
threads = list()
q = queue.Queue()
results = dict()
for name in ('alpha', 'oscar', 'yankee',):
threads.append( threading.Thread(target=randoms, args=(name, q)) )
threads[-1].start()
_ = [ t.join() for t in threads ]
while not q.empty():
results.update(q.get())
print(results)
Parris / kindall的answer join/return answer移植到Python 3:
from threading import Thread
def foo(bar):
print('hello {0}'.format(bar))
return "foo"
class ThreadWithReturnValue(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
twrv = ThreadWithReturnValue(target=foo, args=('world!',))
twrv.start()
print(twrv.join()) # prints foo
注意，Thread类在Python 3中实现的方式不同。
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()
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
