python主线程休眠,Python在休眠时终止线程

I modified the following code from first answer on this link.

class StoppableThread(threading.Thread):

"""Thread class with a stop() method. The thread itself has to check

regularly for the stopped() condition."""

def __init__(self, target, timeout):

super(StoppableThread, self).__init__()

self._target = target

self._timeout = timeout

self._stop = threading.Event()

self.awake = threading.Event()

def run(self):

while(not self._stop.isSet()):

self.awake.clear()

time.sleep(self._timeout)

self.awake.set()

self._target()

def stop(self):

self._stop.set()

def stopped(self):

return self._stop.isSet()

Once I create an instance of this class and set it to daemon process, I would like to terminate it at a later time, when the thread is sleeping, else wait for it to complete the _target() function and then terminate. I am able to handle the latter case by calling stop method. However, I have no idea of terminating it when the _awake event object is set to False. Can someone please help?

Your thread doesn't have to explicitly sleep. It can simply wait for another thread to ask it to stop.

def run(self):

while(not self._stop.isSet()):

self.awake.clear()

self._stop.wait(self._timeout) # instead of sleeping

if self._stop.isSet():

continue

self.awake.set()

self._target()

For this purpose, you don't need the awake event at all. (You might still need it if another thread wants to check its "status". I don't know if that's a requirement you have).

Without awake, your code will be:

class StoppableThread(threading.Thread):

def __init__(self, target, timeout):

super(StoppableThread, self).__init__()

self._target = target

self._timeout = timeout

self._stop = threading.Event()

def run(self):

while not self.stopped():

self._stop.wait(self._timeout) # instead of sleeping

if self.stopped():

continue

self._target()

def stop(self):

self._stop.set()

def stopped(self):

return self._stop.isSet()
