有没有办法终止一个线程？

Python版本：3.8

使用守护线程来执行我们想要的操作，如果我们想要终止守护线程，只需让父线程退出，系统就会终止由父线程创建的守护线程。

同时支持协程和协程函数。

def main():
    start_time = time.perf_counter()
    t1 = ExitThread(time.sleep, (10,), debug=False)
    t1.start()
    time.sleep(0.5)
    t1.exit()
    try:
        print(t1.result_future.result())
    except concurrent.futures.CancelledError:
        pass
    end_time = time.perf_counter()
    print(f"time cost {end_time - start_time:0.2f}")

以下是ExitThread源代码

假设您想要多个相同功能的线程，这是我认为最简单的实现方法之一，可以通过id停止其中一个：

import time
from threading import Thread

def doit(id=0):
    doit.stop=0
    print("start id:%d"%id)
    while 1:
        time.sleep(1)
        print(".")
        if doit.stop==id:
            doit.stop=0
            break
    print("end thread %d"%id)

t5=Thread(target=doit, args=(5,))
t6=Thread(target=doit, args=(6,))

t5.start() ; t6.start()
time.sleep(2)
doit.stop =5  #kill t5
time.sleep(2)
doit.stop =6  #kill t6

这里的好处在于，您可以拥有多个相同和不同的函数，通过functionname.stop停止它们所有。

如果您只想运行一个函数线程，则无需记住其id。只需在doit.stop>0时停止即可。

一种替代方法是使用 signal.pthread_kill 发送停止信号。

from signal import pthread_kill, SIGTSTP
from threading import Thread
from itertools import count
from time import sleep

def target():
    for num in count():
        print(num)
        sleep(1)

thread = Thread(target=target)
thread.start()
sleep(5)
pthread_kill(thread.ident, SIGTSTP)

结果

0
1
2
3
4

[14]+  Stopped

如@Kozyarchuk的答案中所述，安装跟踪器是有效的。由于该答案未包含代码，因此这里提供一个可用的实例：

import sys, threading, time 

class TraceThread(threading.Thread): 
    def __init__(self, *args, **keywords): 
        threading.Thread.__init__(self, *args, **keywords) 
        self.killed = False
    def start(self): 
        self._run = self.run 
        self.run = self.settrace_and_run
        threading.Thread.start(self) 
    def settrace_and_run(self): 
        sys.settrace(self.globaltrace) 
        self._run()
    def globaltrace(self, frame, event, arg): 
        return self.localtrace if event == 'call' else None
    def localtrace(self, frame, event, arg): 
        if self.killed and event == 'line': 
            raise SystemExit() 
        return self.localtrace 

def f(): 
    while True: 
        print('1') 
        time.sleep(2)
        print('2') 
        time.sleep(2)
        print('3') 
        time.sleep(2)

t = TraceThread(target=f) 
t.start() 
time.sleep(2.5) 
t.killed = True

它在打印了1和2后停止。 3没有被打印出来。

如果您真的需要能够终止子任务的能力，则请使用替代实现。 multiprocessing 和 gevent 都支持无差别地终止“线程”。

Python 的线程不支持取消。甚至不要尝试。您的代码很可能会死锁、损坏或泄漏内存，或者产生其他意外且难以调试的“有趣”效果，这些效果很少并且是非确定性的。

Pieter Hintjens是ØMQ项目的创始人之一，他说，使用ØMQ并避免使用锁、互斥量、事件等同步原语，是编写多线程程序最明智和最安全的方式。

http://zguide.zeromq.org/py:all#Multithreading-with-ZeroMQ

这包括告诉子线程，它应该取消它的工作。这可以通过为线程配备一个 ØMQ-socket 并在该 socket 上轮询以获取一条消息来完成，该消息表示应该取消。

该链接还提供了一个使用 ØMQ 的多线程 Python 代码示例。

你可以在进程中执行命令，然后使用进程 ID 来终止它。 我需要在两个线程之间进行同步，其中一个线程本身不会返回。

processIds = []

def executeRecord(command):
    print(command)

    process = subprocess.Popen(command, stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
    processIds.append(process.pid)
    print(processIds[0])

    #Command that doesn't return by itself
    process.stdout.read().decode("utf-8")
    return;


def recordThread(command, timeOut):

    thread = Thread(target=executeRecord, args=(command,))
    thread.start()
    thread.join(timeOut)

    os.kill(processIds.pop(), signal.SIGINT)

    return;

这似乎可以在Windows 7上使用pywin32工作

my_thread = threading.Thread()
my_thread.start()
my_thread._Thread__stop()

这是一个糟糕的答案，请查看评论

以下是如何操作：

from threading import *

...

for thread in enumerate():
    if thread.isAlive():
        try:
            thread._Thread__stop()
        except:
            print(str(thread.getName()) + ' could not be terminated'))

等待几秒钟，然后您的线程应该停止。还要检查thread._Thread__delete()方法。

我建议使用thread.quit()方法以方便操作。例如，如果您的线程中有一个套接字，我建议在您的套接字处理类中创建一个quit()方法，终止套接字，然后在quit()内运行thread._Thread__stop()。

使用setDaemon(True)启动子线程。

def bootstrap(_filename):
    mb = ModelBootstrap(filename=_filename) # Has many Daemon threads. All get stopped automatically when main thread is stopped.

t = threading.Thread(target=bootstrap,args=('models.conf',))
t.setDaemon(False)

while True:
    t.start()
    time.sleep(10) # I am just allowing the sub-thread to run for 10 sec. You can listen on an event to stop execution.
    print('Thread stopped')
    break
