python中iter是什么意思_iter的用途是什么？

在多处理/多线程代码中，您会(希望)经常会发现这种结构用于轮询队列或管道。在标准库中，您还可以在multiprocessing.Pool中找到：@staticmethod

def _handle_tasks(taskqueue, put, outqueue, pool, cache):

thread = threading.current_thread()

for taskseq, set_length in iter(taskqueue.get, None):

task = None

try:

# iterating taskseq cannot fail

for task in taskseq:

...

else:

util.debug('task handler got sentinel')

不久前，我遇到了this博客条目，我很好地总结了iter(callable, sentinel)相对于{}的优势：Usually, when we iterate over an objects or until a condition happens, we understand the scope of the loop in its first line. e.g., when reading a loop that starts with for book in books we realize we’re iterating over all the books. When we see a loop that starts with while not battery.empty() we realize that the scope of the loop is for as long as we still have battery.

When we say “Do forever” (i.e., while True), it’s obvious that this scope is a lie. So it requires us to hold that thought in our head and search the rest of the code for a statement that’ll get us out of it. We are entering the loop with less information and so it is less readable.
