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
...

大多数文档和教程都使用Python的“线程和队列”模块，对于初学者来说，它们可能会让人不知所措。

也许可以考虑Python 3的concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor模块。

结合子句和列表理解，这可能是一个真正的魅力。

from concurrent.futures import ThreadPoolExecutor, as_completed

def get_url(url):
    # Your actual program here. Using threading.Lock() if necessary
    return ""

# List of URLs to fetch
urls = ["url1", "url2"]

with ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers = 5) as executor:

    # Create threads
    futures = {executor.submit(get_url, url) for url in urls}

    # as_completed() gives you the threads once finished
    for f in as_completed(futures):
        # Get the results
        rs = f.result()

我发现这非常有用：创建与内核一样多的线程，并让它们执行（大量）任务（在本例中，调用shell程序）：

import Queue
import threading
import multiprocessing
import subprocess

q = Queue.Queue()
for i in range(30): # Put 30 tasks in the queue
    q.put(i)

def worker():
    while True:
        item = q.get()
        # Execute a task: call a shell program and wait until it completes
        subprocess.call("echo " + str(item), shell=True)
        q.task_done()

cpus = multiprocessing.cpu_count() # Detect number of cores
print("Creating %d threads" % cpus)
for i in range(cpus):
     t = threading.Thread(target=worker)
     t.daemon = True
     t.start()

q.join() # Block until all tasks are done

import threading
import requests

def send():

  r = requests.get('https://www.stackoverlow.com')

thread = []
t = threading.Thread(target=send())
thread.append(t)
t.start()

对我来说，线程的最佳示例是监视异步事件。看看这个代码。

# thread_test.py
import threading
import time

class Monitor(threading.Thread):
    def __init__(self, mon):
        threading.Thread.__init__(self)
        self.mon = mon

    def run(self):
        while True:
            if self.mon[0] == 2:
                print "Mon = 2"
                self.mon[0] = 3;

您可以通过打开IPython会话并执行以下操作来使用此代码：

>>> from thread_test import Monitor
>>> a = [0]
>>> mon = Monitor(a)
>>> mon.start()
>>> a[0] = 2
Mon = 2
>>>a[0] = 2
Mon = 2

等几分钟

>>> a[0] = 2
Mon = 2

使用线程/多处理的最简单方法是使用更多高级库，如autothread。

import autothread
from time import sleep as heavyworkload

@autothread.multithreaded() # <-- This is all you need to add
def example(x: int, y: int):
    heavyworkload(1)
    return x*y

现在，您可以为函数提供int列表。Autothread将为您处理所有事务，并只提供并行计算的结果。

result = example([1, 2, 3, 4, 5], 10)
