多线程类似于同时执行多个不同程序,多线程运行有如下优点:

Python中使用线程有两种方式:函数或者用类来包装线程对象。
函数式:调用thread模块中的start_new_thread()函数来产生新线程。语法如下:
thread.start_new_thread ( function, args[, kwargs] )
参数说明:
import thread
import time
# 为线程定义一个函数
def print_time( threadName, delay):
count = 0
while count < 5:
time.sleep(delay)
count += 1
print ("%s: %s" % ( threadName, time.ctime(time.time())))
# 创建两个线程
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

线程的结束一般依靠线程函数的自然结束;也可以在线程函数中调用thread.exit(),他抛出SystemExit exception,达到退出线程的目的。

Python通过两个标准库thread和threading提供对线程的支持。thread提供了低级别的、原始的线程以及一个简单的锁。
thread 模块提供的其他方法:
除了使用方法外,线程模块同样提供了Thread类来处理线程,Thread类提供了以下方法:
使用Threading模块创建线程,直接从threading.Thread继承,然后重写__init__方法和run方法:
import threading
import time
exitFlag = 0
class myThread (threading.Thread): #继承父类threading.Thread
def __init__(self, threadID, name, counter):
threading.Thread.__init__(self)
self.threadID = threadID
self.name = name
self.counter = counter
def run(self): #把要执行的代码写到run函数里面 线程在创建后会直接运行run函数
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
# 创建新线程
thread1 = myThread(1, "Thread-1", 1)
thread2 = myThread(2, "Thread-2", 2)
# 开启线程
thread1.start()
thread2.start()
print ("Exiting Main Thread")
输出
Starting Thread-1
Starting Thread-2
Exiting Main Thread

Python的Queue模块中提供了同步的、线程安全的队列类,包括FIFO(先入先出)队列Queue,LIFO(后入先出)队列LifoQueue,和优先级队列PriorityQueue。这些队列都实现了锁原语,能够在多线程中直接使用。可以使用队列来实现线程间的同步。
Queue模块中的常用方法:
实例:
import Queue
import threading
import time
exitFlag = 0
class myThread (threading.Thread):
def __init__(self, threadID, name, q):
threading.Thread.__init__(self)
self.threadID = threadID
self.name = name
self.q = q
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
# 创建新线程
for tName in threadList:
thread = myThread(threadID, tName, workQueue)
thread.start()
threads.append(thread)
threadID += 1
# 填充队列
queueLock.acquire()
for word in nameList:
workQueue.put(word)
queueLock.release()
# 等待队列清空
while not workQueue.empty():
pass
# 通知线程是时候退出
exitFlag = 1
# 等待所有线程完成
for t in threads:
t.join()
print ("Exiting Main Thread")
以上程序执行结果:
Starting Thread-1
Starting Thread-2
Starting Thread-3
Thread-1 processing One
Thread-2 processing Two
Thread-3 processing Three
Thread-1 processing Four
Thread-2 processing Five
Exiting Thread-3
Exiting Thread-1
Exiting Thread-2
Exiting Main Thread
