我正在努力理解Python中的线程。我看过文档和示例,但坦率地说,许多示例过于复杂,我很难理解它们。

如何清楚地显示为多线程划分的任务?

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)

使用线程/多处理的最简单方法是使用更多高级库,如autothread。

import autothread
from time import sleep as heavyworkload

@autothread.multithreaded() # <-- This is all you need to add
def example(x: int, y: int):
    heavyworkload(1)
    return x*y

现在,您可以为函数提供int列表。Autothread将为您处理所有事务,并只提供并行计算的结果。

result = example([1, 2, 3, 4, 5], 10)

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()

Python 3具有启动并行任务的功能。这使我们的工作更容易。

它有线程池和进程池。

以下内容提供了一个见解:

ThreadPoolExecutor示例(源代码)

import concurrent.futures
import urllib.request

URLS = ['http://www.foxnews.com/',
        'http://www.cnn.com/',
        'http://europe.wsj.com/',
        'http://www.bbc.co.uk/',
        'http://some-made-up-domain.com/']

# Retrieve a single page and report the URL and contents
def load_url(url, timeout):
    with urllib.request.urlopen(url, timeout=timeout) as conn:
        return conn.read()

# We can use a with statement to ensure threads are cleaned up promptly
with concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=5) as executor:
    # Start the load operations and mark each future with its URL
    future_to_url = {executor.submit(load_url, url, 60): url for url in URLS}
    for future in concurrent.futures.as_completed(future_to_url):
        url = future_to_url[future]
        try:
            data = future.result()
        except Exception as exc:
            print('%r generated an exception: %s' % (url, exc))
        else:
            print('%r page is %d bytes' % (url, len(data)))

ProcessPoolExecutor(源)

import concurrent.futures
import math

PRIMES = [
    112272535095293,
    112582705942171,
    112272535095293,
    115280095190773,
    115797848077099,
    1099726899285419]

def is_prime(n):
    if n % 2 == 0:
        return False

    sqrt_n = int(math.floor(math.sqrt(n)))
    for i in range(3, sqrt_n + 1, 2):
        if n % i == 0:
            return False
    return True

def main():
    with concurrent.futures.ProcessPoolExecutor() as executor:
        for number, prime in zip(PRIMES, executor.map(is_prime, PRIMES)):
            print('%d is prime: %s' % (number, prime))

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

我发现这非常有用:创建与内核一样多的线程,并让它们执行(大量)任务(在本例中,调用shell程序):

import Queue
import threading
import multiprocessing
import subprocess

q = Queue.Queue()
for i in range(30): # Put 30 tasks in the queue
    q.put(i)

def worker():
    while True:
        item = q.get()
        # Execute a task: call a shell program and wait until it completes
        subprocess.call("echo " + str(item), shell=True)
        q.task_done()

cpus = multiprocessing.cpu_count() # Detect number of cores
print("Creating %d threads" % cpus)
for i in range(cpus):
     t = threading.Thread(target=worker)
     t.daemon = True
     t.start()

q.join() # Block until all tasks are done

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()
