假设，你想有多个线程的同一个函数，这是IMHO最简单的实现通过id停止一个:

import time
from threading import Thread

def doit(id=0):
    doit.stop=0
    print("start id:%d"%id)
    while 1:
        time.sleep(1)
        print(".")
        if doit.stop==id:
            doit.stop=0
            break
    print("end thread %d"%id)

t5=Thread(target=doit, args=(5,))
t6=Thread(target=doit, args=(6,))

t5.start() ; t6.start()
time.sleep(2)
doit.stop =5  #kill t5
time.sleep(2)
doit.stop =6  #kill t6

这里的好处是，你可以有多个相同或不同的函数，并通过functionname。stop来停止它们

如果你想只有一个线程的函数，那么你不需要记住id。如果做了，就停下来。停止> 0。

实现一个线程是绝对可能的。方法，如下例代码所示:

import sys
import threading
import time


class StopThread(StopIteration):
    pass

threading.SystemExit = SystemExit, StopThread


class Thread2(threading.Thread):

    def stop(self):
        self.__stop = True

    def _bootstrap(self):
        if threading._trace_hook is not None:
            raise ValueError('Cannot run thread with tracing!')
        self.__stop = False
        sys.settrace(self.__trace)
        super()._bootstrap()

    def __trace(self, frame, event, arg):
        if self.__stop:
            raise StopThread()
        return self.__trace


class Thread3(threading.Thread):

    def _bootstrap(self, stop_thread=False):
        def stop():
            nonlocal stop_thread
            stop_thread = True
        self.stop = stop

        def tracer(*_):
            if stop_thread:
                raise StopThread()
            return tracer
        sys.settrace(tracer)
        super()._bootstrap()

def main():
    test1 = Thread2(target=printer)
    test1.start()
    time.sleep(1)
    test1.stop()
    test1.join()
    test2 = Thread2(target=speed_test)
    test2.start()
    time.sleep(1)

def printer():
    while True:
        print(time.time() % 1)
        time.sleep(0.1)


def speed_test(count=0):
    try:
        while True:
            count += 1
    except StopThread:
        print('Count =', count)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

Thread3类运行代码的速度似乎比Thread2类快大约33%。

另一种方法是使用signal.pthread_kill发送一个停止信号。

from signal import pthread_kill, SIGTSTP
from threading import Thread
from itertools import count
from time import sleep

def target():
    for num in count():
        print(num)
        sleep(1)

thread = Thread(target=target)
thread.start()
sleep(5)
pthread_kill(thread.ident, SIGTSTP)

结果

这是基于thread2—可杀死线程ActiveState配方。

您需要调用PyThreadState_SetAsyncExc()，它只能通过ctypes模块使用。

这只在Python 2.7.3上进行了测试，但它很可能与最近的其他2一起工作。x版本。PyThreadState_SetAsyncExc()仍然存在于Python 3中以实现向后兼容性(但我还没有测试它)。

import ctypes

def terminate_thread(thread):
    """Terminates a python thread from another thread.

    :param thread: a threading.Thread instance
    """
    if not thread.isAlive():
        return

    exc = ctypes.py_object(SystemExit)
    res = ctypes.pythonapi.PyThreadState_SetAsyncExc(
        ctypes.c_long(thread.ident), exc)
    if res == 0:
        raise ValueError("nonexistent thread id")
    elif res > 1:
        # """if it returns a number greater than one, you're in trouble,
        # and you should call it again with exc=NULL to revert the effect"""
        ctypes.pythonapi.PyThreadState_SetAsyncExc(thread.ident, None)
        raise SystemError("PyThreadState_SetAsyncExc failed")

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。

可以通过在将退出线程的线程中安装trace来终止线程。请参阅所附的链接，了解一种可能的实现。
