线程之join()

首先看一段简单的代码：

 1 from time import ctime,sleep
 2 def play_video(video):
 3     for i in range(2):
 4         print "i am playing video: %s at %s"%(video,ctime())
 5         sleep(4)
 6 
 7 
 8 def play_music(music):
 9     for i in range(2):
10         print "i am playing music: %s at %s"%(music,ctime())
11         sleep(2)
12 
13 
14 if __name__=="__main__":
15     
16     play_video("speed_and_crazy")
17     play_music("chengdu")
18 
19     print "all are over at %s"%ctime()
20                 
21     

执行结果：

C:\Python27>python mui_thread.py
i am playing video: speed_and_crazy at Mon Jun 26 23:01:59 2017
i am playing video: speed_and_crazy at Mon Jun 26 23:02:03 2017
i am playing music: chengdu at Mon Jun 26 23:02:07 2017
i am playing music: chengdu at Mon Jun 26 23:02:09 2017
all are over at Mon Jun 26 23:02:11 2017

随着人们对多任务的要求，同时为了充分利用cpu资源，多线程编程不可避免，那么我们如何利用python去实现play_video和play_music

两个任务同时运行呢？

测试结果：

C:\Python27>python mui_thread.py
i am playing video: speed_and_crazy at Mon Jun 26 23:18:52 2017
all are over at Mon Jun 26 23:18:52 2017
i am playing music: chengdu at Mon Jun 26 23:18:52 2017  #从打印的时间可知，play_video、play_music和父进程几乎同时运行

从结果看，与我们最初的目标相差甚远，怎么没有按照顺序执行，为什么每个函数都只有一条日记输出？

那是因为子线程（play_video、play_music）和主线程print "all are over at %s \n"%ctime()都是同一时间启动，但由于主线程已经运行结束，所以导致子线程也同时终止，在这种条件下，我们如何保证子进程都能够执行完毕呢？

增加thread.join()并 放在循环外

from time import ctime,sleep
import threading
def play_video(video):
    for i in range(2):
        print "i am playing video: %s at %s \n"%(video,ctime())
        sleep(1)


def play_music(music):
    for i in range(2):
        print "i am playing music: %s at %s \n"%(music,ctime())
        sleep(5)

threads=[]

thread1=threading.Thread(target=play_video,args=("speed_and_crazy",))

threads.append(thread1)

thread2=threading.Thread(target=play_music,args=("chengdu",))

threads.append(thread2)



if __name__=="__main__":

    for thread in threads:
        thread.setDaemon(True)
        thread.start()
    thread.join()  #加在循环外，
    print "all are over at %s \n"%ctime()
                
    

运行结果：

 1 C:\Python27>python mui_thread.py
 2 i am playing video: speed_and_crazy at Mon Jun 26 23:32:21 2017
 3 i am playing music: chengdu at Mon Jun 26 23:32:21 2017
 4 
 5 
 6 i am playing video: speed_and_crazy at Mon Jun 26 23:32:22 2017
 7 
 8 i am playing music: chengdu at Mon Jun 26 23:32:26 2017
 9 
10 all are over at Mon Jun 26 23:32:31 2017

thread.join()的作用是主线程必须等待子线程都执行完了才能结束，play_video、play_music几乎同时执行
但是如果改变play_video、play_music里面的sleep的时长，即是下面的代码：

from time import ctime,sleep
import threading
def play_video(video):
    for i in range(2):
        print "i am playing video: %s at %s \n"%(video,ctime())
        sleep(5)


def play_music(music):
    for i in range(2):
        print "i am playing music: %s at %s \n"%(music,ctime())
        sleep(1)

threads=[]

thread1=threading.Thread(target=play_video,args=("speed_and_crazy",))

threads.append(thread1)

thread2=threading.Thread(target=play_music,args=("chengdu",))

threads.append(thread2)



if __name__=="__main__":

    for thread in threads:
        thread.setDaemon(True)
        thread.start()
    thread.join()
    print "all are over at %s \n"%ctime()
                
    

此时运行结果：

C:\Python27>python mui_thread.py
i am playing video: speed_and_crazy at Mon Jun 26 23:44:13 2017
i am playing music: chengdu at Mon Jun 26 23:44:13 2017


i am playing music: chengdu at Mon Jun 26 23:44:14 2017

all are over at Mon Jun 26 23:44:15 2017

我们看到play_video还有一条log没有打印出来，原因是thread.join()在循环外，此时的thread为play_music，父进程只会等待play_music进程执行完就结束，而不会等待play_video（sleep时间较长）执行完才结束，所以才会有上面的结果
