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?


当前回答

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

其他回答

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()

以前的解决方案都没有在我的GNU/Linux服务器上使用多个内核(我没有管理员权限)。他们只是在一个核心上跑步。

我使用较低级别的os.fork接口来派生多个进程。这是对我有用的代码:

from os import fork

values = ['different', 'values', 'for', 'threads']

for i in range(len(values)):
    p = fork()
    if p == 0:
        my_function(values[i])
        break

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

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
...

给定函数f,如下所示:

import threading
threading.Thread(target=f).start()

向f传递参数

threading.Thread(target=f, args=(a,b,c)).start()
