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。

GuySoft的想法很棒，但我认为对象不一定要从Thread继承，start()可以从接口中删除:
from threading import Thread
import queue
class ThreadWithReturnValue(object):
def __init__(self, target=None, args=(), **kwargs):
self._que = queue.Queue()
self._t = Thread(target=lambda q,arg1,kwargs1: q.put(target(*arg1, **kwargs1)) ,
args=(self._que, args, kwargs), )
self._t.start()
def join(self):
self._t.join()
return self._que.get()
def foo(bar):
print('hello {0}'.format(bar))
return "foo"
twrv = ThreadWithReturnValue(target=foo, args=('world!',))
print(twrv.join()) # prints foo
其他回答
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)
GuySoft的想法很棒，但我认为对象不一定要从Thread继承，start()可以从接口中删除:
from threading import Thread
import queue
class ThreadWithReturnValue(object):
def __init__(self, target=None, args=(), **kwargs):
self._que = queue.Queue()
self._t = Thread(target=lambda q,arg1,kwargs1: q.put(target(*arg1, **kwargs1)) ,
args=(self._que, args, kwargs), )
self._t.start()
def join(self):
self._t.join()
return self._que.get()
def foo(bar):
print('hello {0}'.format(bar))
return "foo"
twrv = ThreadWithReturnValue(target=foo, args=('world!',))
print(twrv.join()) # prints foo
根据上面提到的，下面是适用于Python3的更通用的解决方案。
import threading
class ThreadWithReturnValue(threading.Thread):
def __init__(self, *init_args, **init_kwargs):
threading.Thread.__init__(self, *init_args, **init_kwargs)
self._return = None
def run(self):
self._return = self._target(*self._args, **self._kwargs)
def join(self):
threading.Thread.join(self)
return self._return
使用
th = ThreadWithReturnValue(target=requests.get, args=('http://www.google.com',))
th.start()
response = th.join()
response.status_code # => 200
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
另一个不需要更改现有代码的解决方案:
import Queue # Python 2.x
#from queue import Queue # Python 3.x
from threading import Thread
def foo(bar):
print 'hello {0}'.format(bar) # Python 2.x
#print('hello {0}'.format(bar)) # Python 3.x
return 'foo'
que = Queue.Queue() # Python 2.x
#que = Queue() # Python 3.x
t = Thread(target=lambda q, arg1: q.put(foo(arg1)), args=(que, 'world!'))
t.start()
t.join()
result = que.get()
print result # Python 2.x
#print(result) # Python 3.x
它也可以很容易地调整到多线程环境:
import Queue # Python 2.x
#from queue import Queue # Python 3.x
from threading import Thread
def foo(bar):
print 'hello {0}'.format(bar) # Python 2.x
#print('hello {0}'.format(bar)) # Python 3.x
return 'foo'
que = Queue.Queue() # Python 2.x
#que = Queue() # Python 3.x
threads_list = list()
t = Thread(target=lambda q, arg1: q.put(foo(arg1)), args=(que, 'world!'))
t.start()
threads_list.append(t)
# Add more threads here
...
threads_list.append(t2)
...
threads_list.append(t3)
...
# Join all the threads
for t in threads_list:
t.join()
# Check thread's return value
while not que.empty():
result = que.get()
print result # Python 2.x
#print(result) # Python 3.x
