python限制线程总数_如何限制python中活动线程的数量？

Am new to python and making some headway with threading - am doing some music file conversion and want to be able to utilize the multiple cores on my machine (one active conversion thread per core).

class EncodeThread(threading.Thread):

# this is hacked together a bit, but should give you an idea

def run(self):

decode = subprocess.Popen(["flac","--decode","--stdout",self.src],

stdout=subprocess.PIPE)

encode = subprocess.Popen(["lame","--quiet","-",self.dest],

stdin=decode.stdout)

encode.communicate()

# some other code puts these threads with various src/dest pairs in a list

for proc in threads: # `threads` is my list of `threading.Thread` objects

proc.start()

Everything works, all the files get encoded, bravo! ... however
