Python多线程
-
线程有时称为轻量级进程,他们并不需要多大的内存开销,他们关心的不是过程便宜.
一个线程都有一个开始,执行顺序,并得出结论。它有一个指令指针,保持它的上下文内正在运行的跟踪.
-
它可以是抢占(中断)
-
它可以暂时搁置(又称睡眠),而其他线程正在运行 - 这被称为产量yielding.
启动一个新线程:
如要产生另一个线程,你需要调用线程模块,可用下面的方法:
thread.start_new_thread ( function, args[, kwargs] )
调用此方法实现了快速和有效的方式,在Linux和Windows中创建新的线程.
方法调用立即返回,并在子线程开始,并调用与传递agrs的列表函数。当函数返回时,线程终止.
这里的args是一个参数的元组;使用一个空的元组没有传递任何参数的函数调用。 kwargs是一个可选关键字参数字典.
例子:
#!/usr/bin/python
import thread
import time
# Define a function for the thread
def print_time( threadName, delay):
count = 0
while count < 5:
time.sleep(delay)
count += 1
print "%s: %s" % ( threadName, time.ctime(time.time()) )
# Create two threads as follows
try:
thread.start_new_thread( print_time, ("Thread-1", 2, ) )
thread.start_new_thread( print_time, ("Thread-2", 4, ) )
except:
print "Error: unable to start thread"
while 1:
pass
This would produce following result:
Thread-1: Thu Jan 22 15:42:17 2009 Thread-1: Thu Jan 22 15:42:19 2009 Thread-2: Thu Jan 22 15:42:19 2009 Thread-1: Thu Jan 22 15:42:21 2009 Thread-2: Thu Jan 22 15:42:23 2009 Thread-1: Thu Jan 22 15:42:23 2009 Thread-1: Thu Jan 22 15:42:25 2009 Thread-2: Thu Jan 22 15:42:27 2009 Thread-2: Thu Jan 22 15:42:31 2009 Thread-2: Thu Jan 22 15:42:35 2009
虽然它是非常有效的为低级别的线程,但线程模块是非常有限的相比,新的线程模块.
Threading 模块:
Python 2.4中包含的新的线程模块提供更强大,比线程的线程模块高层的支持,在上一节讨论.
threading模块暴露所有的线程模块的方法,并提供一些额外的方法:
-
threading.activeCount():返回线程对象的数量处于活动状态的。.
-
threading.currentThread(): 返回调用者的线程控制线程对象的数量.
-
threading.enumerate(): 返回一个所有当前处于活动状态线程对象的名单.
在另外的方法,线程模块实现线程Thread类。 Thread类提供的方法如下:
-
run(): run()方法是一个线程的入口点.
-
start(): start()方法启动一个线程调用run方法.
-
join([time]): join() 等待线程终止.
-
isAlive(): isAlive()方法检查是否仍在执行一个线程.
-
getName(): getName()方法返回一个线程的名称.
-
setName(): setName()方法设置一个线程的名称.
创建线程使用线程模块:
为了实现一个新的线程使用线程模块,你必须做到以下几点:
-
定义一个新的Thread类的子类.
-
覆盖 __init__(self [,args])方法来添加额外的参数.
-
然后重写方法来实现的线程应该做的,什么时候开始 run(self [,args]) .
一旦你创建新的线程子类,你可以创建它的一个实例,然后启动一个新的线程调用的start()或run()方法.
例子:
#!/usr/bin/python
import threading
import time
exitFlag = 0
class myThread (threading.Thread):
def __init__(self, threadID, name, counter):
self.threadID = threadID
self.name = name
self.counter = counter
threading.Thread.__init__(self)
def run(self):
print "Starting " + self.name
print_time(self.name, self.counter, 5)
print "Exiting " + self.name
def print_time(threadName, delay, counter):
while counter:
if exitFlag:
thread.exit()
time.sleep(delay)
print "%s: %s" % (threadName, time.ctime(time.time()))
counter -= 1
# Create new threads
thread1 = myThread(1, "Thread-1", 1)
thread2 = myThread(2, "Thread-2", 2)
# Start new Threads
thread1.start()
thread2.run()
while thread2.isAlive():
if not thread1.isAlive():
exitFlag = 1
pass
print "Exiting Main Thread"
这将产生以下结果:
Starting Thread-2 Starting Thread-1 Thread-1: Thu Jan 22 15:53:05 2009 Thread-2: Thu Jan 22 15:53:06 2009 Thread-1: Thu Jan 22 15:53:06 2009 Thread-1: Thu Jan 22 15:53:07 2009 Thread-2: Thu Jan 22 15:53:08 2009 Thread-1: Thu Jan 22 15:53:08 2009 Thread-1: Thu Jan 22 15:53:09 2009 Exiting Thread-1 Thread-2: Thu Jan 22 15:53:10 2009 Thread-2: Thu Jan 22 15:53:12 2009 Thread-2: Thu Jan 22 15:53:14 2009 Exiting Thread-2 Exiting Main Thread
同步线程:
与Python提供的线程模块,包括一个简单的实现锁定机制,将允许您同步线程。创建一个新的锁被调用的lock()方法,返回新锁.
获得(阻塞)新的锁定对象的方法将被用于迫使线程同步运行。阻塞的可选参数,使您能够控制是否线程将等待获得锁.
如果阻塞设置为0时,该线程将返回0值立即如果锁不能获得,1,如果锁被获得。如果阻塞设置为1时,该线程将被阻塞,等待被释放的锁.
新锁对象的release()方法将被用于它不再需要时释放锁.
例子:
#!/usr/bin/python
import threading
import time
class myThread (threading.Thread):
def __init__(self, threadID, name, counter):
self.threadID = threadID
self.name = name
self.counter = counter
threading.Thread.__init__(self)
def run(self):
print "Starting " + self.name
# Get lock to synchronize threads
threadLock.acquire()
print_time(self.name, self.counter, 3)
# Free lock to release next thread
threadLock.release()
def print_time(threadName, delay, counter):
while counter:
time.sleep(delay)
print "%s: %s" % (threadName, time.ctime(time.time()))
counter -= 1
threadLock = threading.Lock()
threads = []
# Create new threads
thread1 = myThread(1, "Thread-1", 1)
thread2 = myThread(2, "Thread-2", 2)
# Start new Threads
thread1.start()
thread2.start()
# Add threads to thread list
threads.append(thread1)
threads.append(thread2)
# Wait for all threads to complete
for t in threads:
t.join()
print "Exiting Main Thread"
这将产生以下结果:
Starting Thread-1 Starting Thread-2 Thread01: Thu Jan 22 16:04:38 2009 Thread01: Thu Jan 22 16:04:39 2009 Thread01: Thu Jan 22 16:04:40 2009 Thread02: Thu Jan 22 16:04:42 2009 Thread02: Thu Jan 22 16:04:44 2009 Thread02: Thu Jan 22 16:04:46 2009 Exiting Main Thread
多线程优先级队列:
队列模块允许你创建一个新的队列对象,可容纳一个项目的具体数量。有以下方法来控制队列:
-
get(): get()移除并返回从队列中的一个项目。.
-
put(): put()把一个项目添加到队列中.
-
qsize() : qsize()返回当前队列中的项目数.
-
empty(): empty()返回True,如果队列为空,否则为false.
-
full(): full()返回True,如果队列已满,否则为false.
Example:
#!/usr/bin/python
import Queue
import threading
import time
exitFlag = 0
class myThread (threading.Thread):
def __init__(self, threadID, name, q):
self.threadID = threadID
self.name = name
self.q = q
threading.Thread.__init__(self)
def run(self):
print "Starting " + self.name
process_data(self.name, self.q)
print "Exiting " + self.name
def process_data(threadName, q):
while not exitFlag:
queueLock.acquire()
if not workQueue.empty():
data = q.get()
queueLock.release()
print "%s processing %s" % (threadName, data)
else:
queueLock.release()
time.sleep(1)
threadList = ["Thread-1", "Thread-2", "Thread-3"]
nameList = ["One", "Two", "Three", "Four", "Five"]
queueLock = threading.Lock()
workQueue = Queue.Queue(10)
threads = []
threadID = 1
# Create new threads
for tName in threadList:
thread = myThread(threadID, tName, workQueue)
thread.start()
threads.append(thread)
threadID += 1
# Fill the queue
queueLock.acquire()
for word in nameList:
workQueue.put(word)
queueLock.release()
# Wait for queue to empty
while not workQueue.empty():
pass
# Notify threads it's time to exit
exitFlag = 1
# Wait for all threads to complete
for t in threads:
t.join()
print "Exiting Main Thread"
This would produce following result:
Starting Thread-2
Starting Thread-1
Starting Thread-3
Thread-2 processing One
Thread-1 processing Two
Thread-3 processing Three
Thread-2 processing Four
Thread-1 processing Five
Exiting Thread-3
Exiting Thread-2
Exiting Thread-1
Exiting Main Thread
