我喜欢的一种方法是基于观察者模式。我定义了一个信号类，线程用它向侦听器发出异常。它还可以用于从线程返回值。例子:

import threading

class Signal:
    def __init__(self):
        self._subscribers = list()

    def emit(self, *args, **kwargs):
        for func in self._subscribers:
            func(*args, **kwargs)

    def connect(self, func):
        self._subscribers.append(func)

    def disconnect(self, func):
        try:
            self._subscribers.remove(func)
        except ValueError:
            raise ValueError('Function {0} not removed from {1}'.format(func, self))


class WorkerThread(threading.Thread):

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(WorkerThread, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.Exception = Signal()
        self.Result = Signal()

    def run(self):
        if self._Thread__target is not None:
            try:
                self._return_value = self._Thread__target(*self._Thread__args, **self._Thread__kwargs)
            except Exception as e:
                self.Exception.emit(e)
            else:
                self.Result.emit(self._return_value)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    import time

    def handle_exception(exc):
        print exc.message

    def handle_result(res):
        print res

    def a():
        time.sleep(1)
        raise IOError('a failed')

    def b():
        time.sleep(2)
        return 'b returns'

    t = WorkerThread(target=a)
    t2 = WorkerThread(target=b)
    t.Exception.connect(handle_exception)
    t2.Result.connect(handle_result)
    t.start()
    t2.start()

    print 'Threads started'

    t.join()
    t2.join()
    print 'Done'

我没有足够的使用线程的经验来断言这是一种完全安全的方法。但这对我来说很管用，我喜欢这种灵活性。

我知道我在这里有点晚了，但我有一个非常类似的问题，但它包括使用tkinter作为GUI，并且主循环使它不可能使用依赖于.join()的任何解决方案。因此，我调整了原问题EDIT中给出的解决方案，但使其更一般，以便于其他人更容易理解。

下面是运行中的新线程类:

import threading
import traceback
import logging


class ExceptionThread(threading.Thread):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        threading.Thread.__init__(self, *args, **kwargs)

    def run(self):
        try:
            if self._target:
                self._target(*self._args, **self._kwargs)
        except Exception:
            logging.error(traceback.format_exc())


def test_function_1(input):
    raise IndexError(input)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    input = 'useful'

    t1 = ExceptionThread(target=test_function_1, args=[input])
    t1.start()

当然，您总是可以让它以日志以外的其他方式处理异常，例如将其打印出来，或将其输出到控制台。

这允许您像使用Thread类一样使用ExceptionThread类，无需任何特殊修改。

如果在线程中发生异常，最好的方法是在连接期间在调用线程中重新引发它。您可以使用sys.exc_info()函数获取当前正在处理的异常的信息。此信息可以简单地存储为线程对象的属性，直到调用join，此时可以重新引发它。

注意，队列。队列(在其他回答中建议)在这个简单的情况下是不必要的，因为线程最多抛出1个异常，并且在抛出一个异常后立即完成。我们通过简单地等待线程完成来避免竞争条件。

例如，扩展ExcThread(如下)，覆盖excRun(而不是run)。

Python 2. x:

import threading

class ExcThread(threading.Thread):
  def excRun(self):
    pass

  def run(self):
    self.exc = None
    try:
      # Possibly throws an exception
      self.excRun()
    except:
      import sys
      self.exc = sys.exc_info()
      # Save details of the exception thrown but don't rethrow,
      # just complete the function

  def join(self):
    threading.Thread.join(self)
    if self.exc:
      msg = "Thread '%s' threw an exception: %s" % (self.getName(), self.exc[1])
      new_exc = Exception(msg)
      raise new_exc.__class__, new_exc, self.exc[2]

Python 3. x:

在Python 3中，raise的参数形式为3，因此将最后一行更改为:

raise new_exc.with_traceback(self.exc[2])

我做的是，简单的覆盖连接和运行线程的方法:

class RaisingThread(threading.Thread):
  def run(self):
    self._exc = None
    try:
      super().run()
    except Exception as e:
      self._exc = e

  def join(self, timeout=None):
    super().join(timeout=timeout)
    if self._exc:
      raise self._exc

用途如下:

def foo():
  time.sleep(2)
  print('hi, from foo!')
  raise Exception('exception from foo')    

t = RaisingThread(target=foo)
t.start()
try:
  t.join()
except Exception as e:
  print(e)

结果:

hi, from foo!
exception from foo!

我认为其他的解决方案有点复杂，如果你唯一想要的是真正看到某个异常，而不是完全无视和盲目。

解决方案是创建一个自定义线程，从主线程获取记录器并记录任何异常。

class ThreadWithLoggedException(threading.Thread):
    """
    Similar to Thread but will log exceptions to passed logger.

    Args:
        logger: Logger instance used to log any exception in child thread

    Exception is also reachable via <thread>.exception from the main thread.
    """

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        try:
            self.logger = kwargs.pop("logger")
        except KeyError:
            raise Exception("Missing 'logger' in kwargs")
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.exception = None

    def run(self):
        try:
            if self._target is not None:
                self._target(*self._args, **self._kwargs)
        except Exception as exception:
            thread = threading.current_thread()
            self.exception = exception
            self.logger.exception(f"Exception in child thread {thread}: {exception}")
        finally:
            del self._target, self._args, self._kwargs

例子:

logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
logger.setLevel(logging.INFO)
logger.addHandler(logging.StreamHandler())

def serve():
    raise Exception("Earth exploded.")

th = ThreadWithLoggedException(target=serve, logger=logger)
th.start()

主线程输出:

Exception in child thread <ThreadWithLoggedException(Thread-1, started 139922384414464)>: Earth exploded.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/core/utils.py", line 108, in run
    self._target(*self._args, **self._kwargs)
  File "/myapp.py", line 105, in serve
    raise Exception("Earth exploded.")
Exception: Earth exploded.

问题是thread_obj.start()立即返回。您所生成的子线程在它自己的上下文中使用自己的堆栈执行。在那里发生的任何异常都在子线程的上下文中，并且在它自己的堆栈中。我现在能想到的一种将此信息传递给父线程的方法是使用某种消息传递，因此您可以研究一下。

试试这个尺寸:

import sys
import threading
import queue


class ExcThread(threading.Thread):

    def __init__(self, bucket):
        threading.Thread.__init__(self)
        self.bucket = bucket

    def run(self):
        try:
            raise Exception('An error occured here.')
        except Exception:
            self.bucket.put(sys.exc_info())


def main():
    bucket = queue.Queue()
    thread_obj = ExcThread(bucket)
    thread_obj.start()

    while True:
        try:
            exc = bucket.get(block=False)
        except queue.Empty:
            pass
        else:
            exc_type, exc_obj, exc_trace = exc
            # deal with the exception
            print exc_type, exc_obj
            print exc_trace

        thread_obj.join(0.1)
        if thread_obj.isAlive():
            continue
        else:
            break


if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()
