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()

我发现做到这一点的最短和最简单的方法是利用Python类及其动态属性。您可以使用threading.current_thread()从派生线程的上下文中检索当前线程，并将返回值赋给一个属性。

import threading

def some_target_function():
    # Your code here.
    threading.current_thread().return_value = "Some return value."

your_thread = threading.Thread(target=some_target_function)
your_thread.start()
your_thread.join()

return_value = your_thread.return_value
print(return_value)

我对这个问题的解决方案是将函数和线程包装在一个类中。不需要使用池、队列或c类型变量传递。它也是非阻塞的。而是检查状态。参见代码末尾如何使用它的示例。

import threading

class ThreadWorker():
    '''
    The basic idea is given a function create an object.
    The object can then run the function in a thread.
    It provides a wrapper to start it,check its status,and get data out the function.
    '''
    def __init__(self,func):
        self.thread = None
        self.data = None
        self.func = self.save_data(func)

    def save_data(self,func):
        '''modify function to save its returned data'''
        def new_func(*args, **kwargs):
            self.data=func(*args, **kwargs)

        return new_func

    def start(self,params):
        self.data = None
        if self.thread is not None:
            if self.thread.isAlive():
                return 'running' #could raise exception here

        #unless thread exists and is alive start or restart it
        self.thread = threading.Thread(target=self.func,args=params)
        self.thread.start()
        return 'started'

    def status(self):
        if self.thread is None:
            return 'not_started'
        else:
            if self.thread.isAlive():
                return 'running'
            else:
                return 'finished'

    def get_results(self):
        if self.thread is None:
            return 'not_started' #could return exception
        else:
            if self.thread.isAlive():
                return 'running'
            else:
                return self.data

def add(x,y):
    return x +y

add_worker = ThreadWorker(add)
print add_worker.start((1,2,))
print add_worker.status()
print add_worker.get_results()

join总是返回None，我认为你应该子类化Thread来处理返回代码等。

我找到的大多数答案都很长，需要熟悉其他模块或高级python特性，除非他们已经熟悉答案所谈论的一切，否则会让人感到困惑。

简化方法的工作代码:

import threading

class ThreadWithResult(threading.Thread):
    def __init__(self, group=None, target=None, name=None, args=(), kwargs={}, *, daemon=None):
        def function():
            self.result = target(*args, **kwargs)
        super().__init__(group=group, target=function, name=name, daemon=daemon)

示例代码:

import time, random


def function_to_thread(n):
    count = 0
    while count < 3:
            print(f'still running thread {n}')
            count +=1
            time.sleep(3)
    result = random.random()
    print(f'Return value of thread {n} should be: {result}')
    return result


def main():
    thread1 = ThreadWithResult(target=function_to_thread, args=(1,))
    thread2 = ThreadWithResult(target=function_to_thread, args=(2,))
    thread1.start()
    thread2.start()
    thread1.join()
    thread2.join()
    print(thread1.result)
    print(thread2.result)

main()

解释: 我想大大简化事情，所以我创建了一个ThreadWithResult类，并让它继承threading.Thread。__init__中的嵌套函数函数调用我们想要保存值的线程函数，并将该嵌套函数的结果保存为实例属性self。线程执行完成后的结果。

创建this的实例与创建threading.Thread的实例是相同的。将希望在新线程上运行的函数传递给目标参数，将函数可能需要的任何参数传递给args参数，将任何关键字参数传递给kwargs参数。

e.g.

my_thread = ThreadWithResult(target=my_function, args=(arg1, arg2, arg3))

我认为这比绝大多数答案更容易理解，而且这种方法不需要额外的导入!我加入了time和random模块来模拟线程的行为，但它们并不是实现最初问题中所要求的功能所必需的。

我知道我是在这个问题被问到很久之后才回答的，但我希望这能在未来帮助更多的人!

编辑:我创建了保存线程结果的PyPI包，允许你访问上面相同的代码，并在项目中重用它(GitHub代码在这里)。PyPI包完全扩展了线程。线程类，因此您可以设置在线程上设置的任何属性。线程在ThreadWithResult类!

上面的原始答案介绍了这个子类背后的主要思想，但要了解更多信息，请参阅这里更详细的解释(来自模块docstring)。

快速使用示例:

pip3 install -U save-thread-result     # MacOS/Linux
pip  install -U save-thread-result     # Windows

python3     # MacOS/Linux
python      # Windows

from save_thread_result import ThreadWithResult

# As of Release 0.0.3, you can also specify values for
#`group`, `name`, and `daemon` if you want to set those
# values manually.
thread = ThreadWithResult(
    target = my_function,
    args   = (my_function_arg1, my_function_arg2, ...)
    kwargs = {my_function_kwarg1: kwarg1_value, my_function_kwarg2: kwarg2_value, ...}
)

thread.start()
thread.join()
if getattr(thread, 'result', None):
    print(thread.result)
else:
    # thread.result attribute not set - something caused
    # the thread to terminate BEFORE the thread finished
    # executing the function passed in through the
    # `target` argument
    print('ERROR! Something went wrong while executing this thread, and the function you passed in did NOT complete!!')

# seeing help about the class and information about the threading.Thread super class methods and attributes available:
help(ThreadWithResult)

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)
