传统的python单线程程序:
''' Created on 2012-3-9 @author: Administrator ''' #!/usr/bin/env python from time import sleep,ctime def loop0(): print 'start loop0 at:',ctime() sleep(4) print 'loop0 done at:',ctime() def loop1(): print 'start loop1 at:',ctime() sleep(2) print 'loop1 done at:',ctime() def main(): print 'start at:',ctime() loop0() loop1() print 'All done at:',ctime() if __name__=='__main__': main()运行结果:
start at: Fri Mar 09 16:28:12 2012 start loop0 at: Fri Mar 09 16:28:12 2012 loop0 done at: Fri Mar 09 16:28:16 2012 start loop1 at: Fri Mar 09 16:28:16 2012 loop1 done at: Fri Mar 09 16:28:18 2012 All done at: Fri Mar 09 16:28:18 2012可见程序是顺序执行。
多线程例子:
''' Created on 2012-3-9 @author: Administrator ''' #!/usr/bin/env python import thread from time import sleep,ctime def loop0(): print 'start loop0 at:',ctime() sleep(4) print 'loop0 done at:',ctime() def loop1(): print 'start loop1 at:',ctime() sleep(2) print 'loop1 done at:',ctime() def main(): print 'start at:',ctime() thread.start_new_thread(loop0, ()) thread.start_new_thread(loop1, ()) sleep(6) print 'All done at:',ctime() if __name__=='__main__': main()
运行结果:start at: Fri Mar 09 16:35:27 2012 start loop0 at: Fri Mar 09 16:35:27 2012 start loop1 at: Fri Mar 09 16:35:27 2012 loop1 done at: Fri Mar 09 16:35:29 2012 loop0 done at: Fri Mar 09 16:35:31 2012 All done at: Fri Mar 09 16:35:33 2012可见loop0 的执行和loop1是并行的,一共三个线程:主线程、运行loop0的线程和运行loop1的线程。
