Python版本:3.8

使用守护线程来执行我们想要的，如果我们想要终止守护线程，我们只需要让父线程退出，然后系统就会终止父线程创建的守护线程。

还支持协程和协程函数。

def main():
    start_time = time.perf_counter()
    t1 = ExitThread(time.sleep, (10,), debug=False)
    t1.start()
    time.sleep(0.5)
    t1.exit()
    try:
        print(t1.result_future.result())
    except concurrent.futures.CancelledError:
        pass
    end_time = time.perf_counter()
    print(f"time cost {end_time - start_time:0.2f}")

多处理。进程可以p.terminate()

如果我想杀死一个线程，但不想使用标志/锁/信号/信号量/事件/任何东西，我就把线程提升到完整的进程。对于只使用几个线程的代码，开销并没有那么糟糕。

例如，这可以方便地终止执行阻塞I/O的助手“线程”

转换很简单:在相关代码中替换所有线程。多线程线程。进程和所有队列。多处理队列。排队并将p.t terminate()所需的调用添加到想要杀死子进程p的父进程中

关于多处理，请参阅Python文档。

例子:

import multiprocessing
proc = multiprocessing.Process(target=your_proc_function, args=())
proc.start()
# Terminate the process
proc.terminate()  # sends a SIGTERM

如果您显式地调用time.sleep()作为线程的一部分(比如轮询一些外部服务)，对Phillipe方法的改进是在sleep()的任何地方使用事件的wait()方法中的超时。

例如:

import threading

class KillableThread(threading.Thread):
    def __init__(self, sleep_interval=1):
        super().__init__()
        self._kill = threading.Event()
        self._interval = sleep_interval

    def run(self):
        while True:
            print("Do Something")

            # If no kill signal is set, sleep for the interval,
            # If kill signal comes in while sleeping, immediately
            #  wake up and handle
            is_killed = self._kill.wait(self._interval)
            if is_killed:
                break

        print("Killing Thread")

    def kill(self):
        self._kill.set()

然后运行它

t = KillableThread(sleep_interval=5)
t.start()
# Every 5 seconds it prints:
#: Do Something
t.kill()
#: Killing Thread

使用wait()而不是sleep()ing和定期检查事件的优点是，您可以在更长的睡眠间隔中编程，线程几乎立即停止(否则您将处于sleep()ing)，并且在我看来，处理退出的代码明显更简单。

正如@Kozyarchuk的回答中提到的，安装跟踪工作。由于这个答案不包含代码，下面是一个工作就绪的示例:

import sys, threading, time 

class TraceThread(threading.Thread): 
    def __init__(self, *args, **keywords): 
        threading.Thread.__init__(self, *args, **keywords) 
        self.killed = False
    def start(self): 
        self._run = self.run 
        self.run = self.settrace_and_run
        threading.Thread.start(self) 
    def settrace_and_run(self): 
        sys.settrace(self.globaltrace) 
        self._run()
    def globaltrace(self, frame, event, arg): 
        return self.localtrace if event == 'call' else None
    def localtrace(self, frame, event, arg): 
        if self.killed and event == 'line': 
            raise SystemExit() 
        return self.localtrace 

def f(): 
    while True: 
        print('1') 
        time.sleep(2)
        print('2') 
        time.sleep(2)
        print('3') 
        time.sleep(2)

t = TraceThread(target=f) 
t.start() 
time.sleep(2.5) 
t.killed = True

它在输出1和2之后停止。3不打印。

没有官方API来做这个，没有。

你需要使用平台API来杀死线程，例如pthread_kill或TerminateThread。你可以访问这样的API，例如通过pythonwin，或通过ctypes。

注意，这本质上是不安全的。这可能会导致不可收集的垃圾(来自堆栈帧的局部变量，成为垃圾)，并可能导致死锁，如果被杀死的线程在被杀死时具有GIL。

from ctypes import *
pthread = cdll.LoadLibrary("libpthread-2.15.so")
pthread.pthread_cancel(c_ulong(t.ident))

t是线程对象。

阅读python源代码(Modules/threadmodule.c和python /thread_pthread.h)，你可以看到Thread。Ident是一个pthread_t类型，所以你可以使用libpthread在python中做任何pthread可以做的事情。
