如果不杀死线程会更好。 一种方法是在线程的循环中引入一个“try”块，并在想要停止线程时抛出一个异常(例如break/return/…)这会让你停下来/一会儿/…)。 我在我的应用程序上使用了这个，它是有效的…

这似乎与windows 7上的pywin32一起工作

my_thread = threading.Thread()
my_thread.start()
my_thread._Thread__stop()

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

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}")

下面的方法可以用来杀死一个线程:

kill_threads = False

def doSomething():
    global kill_threads
    while True:
        if kill_threads:
            thread.exit()
        ......
        ......

thread.start_new_thread(doSomething, ())

这甚至可以用于从主线程终止代码写在另一个模块中的线程。我们可以在该模块中声明一个全局变量，并使用它来终止在该模块中生成的线程。

我通常使用它在程序出口终止所有线程。这可能不是终止线程的完美方法，但可能有帮助。

这里还有另一种方法，但代码非常干净和简单，适用于2021年的Python 3.7:

import ctypes 

def kill_thread(thread):
    """
    thread: a threading.Thread object
    """
    thread_id = thread.ident
    res = ctypes.pythonapi.PyThreadState_SetAsyncExc(thread_id, ctypes.py_object(SystemExit))
    if res > 1:
        ctypes.pythonapi.PyThreadState_SetAsyncExc(thread_id, 0)
        print('Exception raise failure')
