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。

在Python中，你不能直接杀死一个线程。

如果你不是真的需要Thread(!)，你可以做的，而不是使用threading包，是使用 多处理包。在这里，要终止一个进程，你可以简单地调用方法:

yourProcess.terminate()  # kill the process!

Python将终止您的进程(在Unix上通过SIGTERM信号，而在Windows上通过TerminateProcess()调用)。注意在使用队列或管道时使用它!(可能会破坏队列/管道中的数据)

注意，多处理。事件和多处理。信号量的工作方式与线程完全相同。事件和线程。信号量分别。事实上，前者是后者的克隆。

如果你真的需要使用一个线程，没有办法直接杀死它。但是，您可以使用“守护线程”。事实上，在Python中，线程可以被标记为守护进程:

yourThread.daemon = True  # set the Thread as a "daemon thread"

当没有活动的非守护进程线程时，主程序将退出。换句话说，当主线程(当然是非守护线程)完成其操作时，即使仍有一些守护线程在工作，程序也将退出。

注意，在调用start()方法之前，有必要将线程设置为守护进程!

当然，你可以，也应该在多进程中使用daemon。在这里，当主进程退出时，它将尝试终止其所有守护子进程。

最后，请注意sys.exit()和os.kill()不是选项。

使用setDaemon(True)启动子线程。

def bootstrap(_filename):
    mb = ModelBootstrap(filename=_filename) # Has many Daemon threads. All get stopped automatically when main thread is stopped.

t = threading.Thread(target=bootstrap,args=('models.conf',))
t.setDaemon(False)

while True:
    t.start()
    time.sleep(10) # I am just allowing the sub-thread to run for 10 sec. You can listen on an event to stop execution.
    print('Thread stopped')
    break

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

0
1
2
3
4

[14]+  Stopped

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}")

如果您确实需要终止子任务的能力，请使用另一种实现。Multiprocessing和gevent都支持不加选择地杀死一个“线程”。

Python的线程不支持取消。不要尝试。你的代码很可能死锁、损坏或泄漏内存，或者有其他意想不到的“有趣的”难以调试的效果，这种情况很少发生，而且不确定。
