我正在努力理解Python中的线程。我看过文档和示例,但坦率地说,许多示例过于复杂,我很难理解它们。
如何清楚地显示为多线程划分的任务?

下面的代码可以运行10个线程同时打印0到99之间的数字:
from threading import Thread
def test():
for i in range(0, 100):
print(i)
thread_list = []
for _ in range(0, 10):
thread = Thread(target=test)
thread_list.append(thread)
for thread in thread_list:
thread.start()
for thread in thread_list:
thread.join()
下面的代码是上述代码循环版本的简写,运行10个线程,同时打印0到99之间的数字:
from threading import Thread
def test():
[print(i) for i in range(0, 100)]
thread_list = [Thread(target=test) for _ in range(0, 10)]
[thread.start() for thread in thread_list]
[thread.join() for thread in thread_list]
结果如下:
...
99
83
97
84
98
99
85
86
87
88
...

借用本文,我们了解了如何在多线程、多处理和异步/异步之间进行选择及其用法。
Python 3有一个新的内置库,以实现并发和并行-concurrent.futures
因此,我将通过一个实验演示如何通过线程池运行四个任务(即.sleep()方法):
from concurrent.futures import ThreadPoolExecutor, as_completed
from time import sleep, time
def concurrent(max_worker):
futures = []
tic = time()
with ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=max_worker) as executor:
futures.append(executor.submit(sleep, 2)) # Two seconds sleep
futures.append(executor.submit(sleep, 1))
futures.append(executor.submit(sleep, 7))
futures.append(executor.submit(sleep, 3))
for future in as_completed(futures):
if future.result() is not None:
print(future.result())
print(f'Total elapsed time by {max_worker} workers:', time()-tic)
concurrent(5)
concurrent(4)
concurrent(3)
concurrent(2)
concurrent(1)
输出:
Total elapsed time by 5 workers: 7.007831811904907
Total elapsed time by 4 workers: 7.007944107055664
Total elapsed time by 3 workers: 7.003149509429932
Total elapsed time by 2 workers: 8.004627466201782
Total elapsed time by 1 workers: 13.013478994369507
[注]:
正如您在上面的结果中看到的,最好的情况是这四项任务有3名员工。如果有进程任务而不是I/O绑定或阻塞(多处理而不是线程),则可以将ThreadPoolExecutor更改为ProcessPoolExecutoor。
Python 3具有启动并行任务的功能。这使我们的工作更容易。
它有线程池和进程池。
以下内容提供了一个见解:
ThreadPoolExecutor示例(源代码)

URLS = ['http://www.foxnews.com/',
'http://www.cnn.com/',
'http://europe.wsj.com/',
'http://www.bbc.co.uk/',
'http://some-made-up-domain.com/']
# Retrieve a single page and report the URL and contents
def load_url(url, timeout):
with urllib.request.urlopen(url, timeout=timeout) as conn:
return conn.read()
# We can use a with statement to ensure threads are cleaned up promptly
with concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=5) as executor:
# Start the load operations and mark each future with its URL
future_to_url = {executor.submit(load_url, url, 60): url for url in URLS}
for future in concurrent.futures.as_completed(future_to_url):
url = future_to_url[future]
try:
data = future.result()
except Exception as exc:
print('%r generated an exception: %s' % (url, exc))
else:
print('%r page is %d bytes' % (url, len(data)))

这里是多线程,有一个简单的例子会很有帮助。您可以运行它并轻松了解多线程在Python中的工作方式。我使用了一个锁来防止访问其他线程,直到前面的线程完成它们的工作。通过使用这行代码,
t锁定=线程。有界信号量(值=4)
您可以一次允许多个进程,并保留将在稍后或完成之前的进程后运行的其余线程。
import threading
import time
#tLock = threading.Lock()
tLock = threading.BoundedSemaphore(value=4)
def timer(name, delay, repeat):
print "\r\nTimer: ", name, " Started"
tLock.acquire()
print "\r\n", name, " has the acquired the lock"
while repeat > 0:
time.sleep(delay)
print "\r\n", name, ": ", str(time.ctime(time.time()))
repeat -= 1
print "\r\n", name, " is releaseing the lock"
tLock.release()
print "\r\nTimer: ", name, " Completed"
def Main():
t1 = threading.Thread(target=timer, args=("Timer1", 2, 5))
t2 = threading.Thread(target=timer, args=("Timer2", 3, 5))
t3 = threading.Thread(target=timer, args=("Timer3", 4, 5))
t4 = threading.Thread(target=timer, args=("Timer4", 5, 5))
t5 = threading.Thread(target=timer, args=("Timer5", 0.1, 5))
t1.start()
t2.start()
t3.start()
t4.start()
t5.start()
print "\r\nMain Complete"
if __name__ == "__main__":
Main()
注意:对于Python中的实际并行化,您应该使用多处理模块来分叉并行执行的多个进程(由于全局解释器锁,Python线程提供了交织,但实际上它们是串行执行的,而不是并行执行的,并且仅在交织I/O操作时有用)。
然而,如果您只是在寻找交错(或者正在执行可以并行化的I/O操作,尽管存在全局解释器锁),那么线程模块就是开始的地方。作为一个非常简单的例子,让我们考虑通过并行对子范围求和来对大范围求和的问题:
import threading
class SummingThread(threading.Thread):
def __init__(self,low,high):
super(SummingThread, self).__init__()
self.low=low
self.high=high
self.total=0
def run(self):
for i in range(self.low,self.high):
self.total+=i
thread1 = SummingThread(0,500000)
thread2 = SummingThread(500000,1000000)
thread1.start() # This actually causes the thread to run
thread2.start()
thread1.join() # This waits until the thread has completed
thread2.join()
# At this point, both threads have completed
result = thread1.total + thread2.total
print result
请注意,以上是一个非常愚蠢的示例,因为它绝对没有I/O,并且由于全局解释器锁,虽然在CPython中交错执行(增加了上下文切换的开销),但仍将串行执行。
自2010年提出这个问题以来,如何使用带有映射和池的Python进行简单的多线程处理已经得到了真正的简化。
下面的代码来自一篇文章/博客文章,您应该明确查看(没有从属关系)-一行中的并行性:一个更好的日常线程任务模型。我将在下面总结一下——它最终只是几行代码:
from multiprocessing.dummy import Pool as ThreadPool
pool = ThreadPool(4)
results = pool.map(my_function, my_array)
以下是多线程版本:
results = []
for item in my_array:
results.append(my_function(item))
描述
Map是一个很酷的小函数,是将并行性轻松注入Python代码的关键。对于那些不熟悉的人来说,map是从Lisp这样的函数语言中提取出来的。它是一个将另一个函数映射到序列上的函数。Map为我们处理序列上的迭代,应用函数,并在最后将所有结果存储在一个方便的列表中。
实施
map函数的并行版本由两个库提供:multiprocessing,以及它鲜为人知但同样神奇的stepchild:multiprocessing.dummy。
multiprocessing.dummy与多处理模块完全相同,但使用线程(一个重要的区别-对CPU密集型任务使用多个进程;对I/O(和在I/O期间)使用线程):
multiprocessing.dummy复制了多处理的API,但它不过是线程模块的包装器。
import urllib2
from multiprocessing.dummy import Pool as ThreadPool
urls = [
'http://www.python.org',
'http://www.python.org/about/',
'http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/python/2003/04/17/metaclasses.html',
'http://www.python.org/doc/',
'http://www.python.org/download/',
'http://www.python.org/getit/',
'http://www.python.org/community/',
'https://wiki.python.org/moin/',
]
# Make the Pool of workers
pool = ThreadPool(4)
# Open the URLs in their own threads
# and return the results
results = pool.map(urllib2.urlopen, urls)
# Close the pool and wait for the work to finish
pool.close()
pool.join()
计时结果:
Single thread: 14.4 seconds
4 Pool: 3.1 seconds
8 Pool: 1.4 seconds
13 Pool: 1.3 seconds
传递多个参数(仅在Python 3.3及更高版本中如此):
要传递多个数组,请执行以下操作:
results = pool.starmap(function, zip(list_a, list_b))
或者传递常量和数组:
results = pool.starmap(function, zip(itertools.repeat(constant), list_a))
如果您使用的是早期版本的Python,可以通过此解决方法传递多个参数)。
