python多线程编程技术之thread（内容来自python核心编程）

　　1.python提供了多个模块支持多线程编程。thread,threading和Queue模块等。thread模块建议研究底层用，一般用功能更完善的threading。                                                                                                                                                                                                                        2.thread对于进程何时退出没有限制，主函数退出所有的都退出，同步原语也很少。该模块有三个函数:start_new_thread(function,arges,kwargs=None),allocate_lock(),exit().分别是派生心线程，分配LockType锁对象，exit()退出线程。

　3.实例：

import thread
from time import sleep ,ctime

loops = [4,2]

def loop(nloop, nsec, lock):
    print 'start loop', nloop, 'at:',ctime()
    sleep(nsec)
    print 'loop',nloop, 'done at:',ctime()
    lock.release()

def main():
    print 'starting at:', ctime()
    locks = []
    nloops = range(len(loops))

    for i in nloops:
        lock = thread.allocate_lock()
        lock.acquire()
    locks.append(lock)

    for i in nloops:
        thread.start_new_thread(loop,(i,loops[i],locks[i]))

    for i in nloops:
    while locks[i].locked():
        pass

    print 'all DONE at:', ctime()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()
