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）

import concurrent.futures
import urllib.request

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)))

ProcessPoolExecutor（源）

import concurrent.futures
import math

PRIMES = [
    112272535095293,
    112582705942171,
    112272535095293,
    115280095190773,
    115797848077099,
    1099726899285419]

def is_prime(n):
    if n % 2 == 0:
        return False

    sqrt_n = int(math.floor(math.sqrt(n)))
    for i in range(3, sqrt_n + 1, 2):
        if n % i == 0:
            return False
    return True

def main():
    with concurrent.futures.ProcessPoolExecutor() as executor:
        for number, prime in zip(PRIMES, executor.map(is_prime, PRIMES)):
            print('%d is prime: %s' % (number, prime))

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

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

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
...

import threading
import requests

def send():

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

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

作为第二个anwser的python3版本：

import queue as Queue
import threading
import urllib.request

# Called by each thread
def get_url(q, url):
    q.put(urllib.request.urlopen(url).read())

theurls = ["http://google.com", "http://yahoo.com", "http://www.python.org","https://wiki.python.org/moin/"]

q = Queue.Queue()
def thread_func():
    for u in theurls:
        t = threading.Thread(target=get_url, args = (q,u))
        t.daemon = True
        t.start()

    s = q.get()
    
def non_thread_func():
    for u in theurls:
        get_url(q,u)
        

    s = q.get()
   

您可以测试它：

start = time.time()
thread_func()
end = time.time()
print(end - start)

start = time.time()
non_thread_func()
end = time.time()
print(end - start)

non_thread_func（）花费的时间应该是thread_func（）的4倍
