这里是使用线程导入CSV的一个非常简单的示例。（图书馆的收录可能因不同的目的而有所不同。）

助手函数：

from threading import Thread
from project import app
import csv


def import_handler(csv_file_name):
    thr = Thread(target=dump_async_csv_data, args=[csv_file_name])
    thr.start()

def dump_async_csv_data(csv_file_name):
    with app.app_context():
        with open(csv_file_name) as File:
            reader = csv.DictReader(File)
            for row in reader:
                # DB operation/query

驾驶员功能：

import_handler(csv_file_name)

大多数文档和教程都使用Python的“线程和队列”模块，对于初学者来说，它们可能会让人不知所措。

也许可以考虑Python 3的concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor模块。

结合子句和列表理解，这可能是一个真正的魅力。

from concurrent.futures import ThreadPoolExecutor, as_completed

def get_url(url):
    # Your actual program here. Using threading.Lock() if necessary
    return ""

# List of URLs to fetch
urls = ["url1", "url2"]

with ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers = 5) as executor:

    # Create threads
    futures = {executor.submit(get_url, url) for url in urls}

    # as_completed() gives you the threads once finished
    for f in as_completed(futures):
        # Get the results
        rs = f.result()

我在这里看到了很多没有执行实际工作的示例，它们大多是CPU限制的。这里是一个CPU绑定任务的示例，它计算1000万到1005万之间的所有素数。我在这里使用了所有四种方法：

        print("{} seconds".format(t1 - t0))
    return wrapper

        found = False

        # Check if the any number from 2 to the square root + 1 divides the current numnber under consideration
        for number in range(2, sqrt_n + 1):

            # If divisible we have found a factor, hence this is not a prime number, lets move to the next one
            if current % number == 0:
                found = True
                break

        # If not divisible, add this number to the list of primes that we have found so far
        if not found:

我想提供一个简单的例子，以及我在自己解决这个问题时发现有用的解释。

在这个答案中，您将找到一些关于Python的GIL（全局解释器锁）的信息，以及一个使用multiprocessing.dummy编写的简单日常示例，以及一些简单的基准测试。

全局解释器锁（GIL）

Python不允许真正意义上的多线程。它有一个多线程包，但是如果你想多线程来加快你的代码，那么使用它通常不是一个好主意。

Python有一个称为全局解释器锁（GIL）的构造。GIL确保在任何时候只能执行一个“线程”。一个线程获取GIL，做一些工作，然后将GIL传递给下一个线程。

这种情况发生得很快，因此在人眼看来，您的线程似乎是并行执行的，但它们实际上只是轮流使用相同的CPU内核。

所有这些GIL传递都增加了执行开销。这意味着如果你想让你的代码运行得更快，那么使用线程打包通常不是个好主意。

使用Python的线程包是有原因的。如果你想同时运行一些事情，而效率不是一个问题，那就很好，也很方便。或者，如果您运行的代码需要等待一些东西（比如一些I/O），那么这可能很有意义。但是线程库不允许您使用额外的CPU内核。

多线程可以外包给操作系统（通过执行多线程处理），以及一些调用Python代码的外部应用程序（例如，Spark或Hadoop），或者Python代码调用的一些代码（例如：您可以让Python代码调用一个C函数来完成昂贵的多线程任务）。

为什么这很重要

因为很多人在了解GIL是什么之前，会花很多时间在他们的Python多线程代码中寻找瓶颈。

一旦这些信息清楚，下面是我的代码：

#!/bin/python
from multiprocessing.dummy import Pool
from subprocess import PIPE,Popen
import time
import os

# In the variable pool_size we define the "parallelness".
# For CPU-bound tasks, it doesn't make sense to create more Pool processes
# than you have cores to run them on.
#
# On the other hand, if you are using I/O-bound tasks, it may make sense
# to create a quite a few more Pool processes than cores, since the processes
# will probably spend most their time blocked (waiting for I/O to complete).
pool_size = 8

def do_ping(ip):
    if os.name == 'nt':
        print ("Using Windows Ping to " + ip)
        proc = Popen(['ping', ip], stdout=PIPE)
        return proc.communicate()[0]
    else:
        print ("Using Linux / Unix Ping to " + ip)
        proc = Popen(['ping', ip, '-c', '4'], stdout=PIPE)
        return proc.communicate()[0]


os.system('cls' if os.name=='nt' else 'clear')
print ("Running using threads\n")
start_time = time.time()
pool = Pool(pool_size)
website_names = ["www.google.com","www.facebook.com","www.pinterest.com","www.microsoft.com"]
result = {}
for website_name in website_names:
    result[website_name] = pool.apply_async(do_ping, args=(website_name,))
pool.close()
pool.join()
print ("\n--- Execution took {} seconds ---".format((time.time() - start_time)))

# Now we do the same without threading, just to compare time
print ("\nRunning NOT using threads\n")
start_time = time.time()
for website_name in website_names:
    do_ping(website_name)
print ("\n--- Execution took {} seconds ---".format((time.time() - start_time)))

# Here's one way to print the final output from the threads
output = {}
for key, value in result.items():
    output[key] = value.get()
print ("\nOutput aggregated in a Dictionary:")
print (output)
print ("\n")

print ("\nPretty printed output: ")
for key, value in output.items():
    print (key + "\n")
    print (value)

与其他提到的一样，由于GIL，CPython只能在I/O等待时使用线程。

如果您想从多个内核中获得CPU绑定任务的好处，请使用多处理：

from multiprocessing import Process

def f(name):
    print 'hello', name

if __name__ == '__main__':
    p = Process(target=f, args=('bob',))
    p.start()
    p.join()

对我来说，线程的最佳示例是监视异步事件。看看这个代码。

# thread_test.py
import threading
import time

class Monitor(threading.Thread):
    def __init__(self, mon):
        threading.Thread.__init__(self)
        self.mon = mon

    def run(self):
        while True:
            if self.mon[0] == 2:
                print "Mon = 2"
                self.mon[0] = 3;

您可以通过打开IPython会话并执行以下操作来使用此代码：

>>> from thread_test import Monitor
>>> a = [0]
>>> mon = Monitor(a)
>>> mon.start()
>>> a[0] = 2
Mon = 2
>>>a[0] = 2
Mon = 2

等几分钟

>>> a[0] = 2
Mon = 2
