python2.7 threading 模块 三 Condition Semaphore

1.Condition

Condition被称为条件变量，除了提供与Lock类似的acquire和release方法外，还提供了wait和notify方法。线程首先acquire一个条件变量，然后判断一些条件。如果条件不满足则wait；如果条件满足，进行一些处理改变条件后，通过notify方法通知其他线程，其他处于wait状态的线程接到通知后会重新判断条件。不断的重复这一过程，从而解决复杂的同步问题。

可以认为Condition对象维护了一个锁（Lock/RLock)和一个waiting池。线程通过acquire获得Condition对象，当调用wait方法时，线程会释放Condition内部的锁并进入blocked状态，同时在waiting池中记录这个线程。当调用notify方法时，Condition对象会从waiting池中挑选一个线程，通知其调用acquire方法尝试取到锁。

以python 的queue源码（只截取了关键的代码）来说明：

class Queue:
        #初始化代码
    def __init__(self, maxsize=0):
        #几个Condition维护者一个Lock。
        # mutex is shared between the three conditions, so acquiring and
        # releasing the conditions also acquires and releases mutex.
        self.mutex = _threading.Lock()
        # Notify not_empty whenever an item is added to the queue; a
        # thread waiting to get is notified then.
        self.not_empty = _threading.Condition(self.mutex)
        # Notify not_full whenever an item is removed from the queue;
        # a thread waiting to put is notified then.
        self.not_full = _threading.Condition(self.mutex)

put方法：

def put(self, item, block=
