Python多线程

忍无可忍，今天把python3.1换到了2.7，不然每次发现写个代码编译不过我就得去查这是不是又是3.0的改变之处！我还是个初学者，没那么多时间在那上纠结！

 

 

Why multi-thread?

• Multiple threads within a process share the same data space with the main thread and can therefore share information or communicate with each other more easily than if they were separate processes.

• Threads sometimes called light-weight processes and they do not require much memory overhead; theycare cheaper than processes.

启动一个线程：

thread.start_new_thread ( function, args[, kwargs] )







#!/usr/bin/python



import thread

import time



# Define a function for the thread

def print_time( threadName, delay):

   count = 0

   while count < 5:

      time.sleep(delay)

      count += 1

      print "%s: %s" % ( threadName, time.ctime(time.time()) )



# Create two threads as follows

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

• run(): The run() method is the entry point for a thread.

• start(): The start() method starts a thread by calling the run method.

• join([time]): The join() waits for threads to terminate.

• isAlive(): The isAlive() method checks whether a thread is still executing.

• getName(): The getName() method returns the name of a thread.

• setName(): The setName() method sets the name of a thread.
