import time, threading
# 新线程执行的代码:
def loop():
print('thread %s is running...' % threading.current_thread().name)
n = 0
while n < 5:
n = n + 1
print('thread %s >>> %s' % (threading.current_thread().name, n))
time.sleep(1)
print('thread %s ended.' % threading.current_thread().name)
print('thread %s is running...' % threading.current_thread().name)
t = threading.Thread(target=loop, name='LoopThread')
t.start()
t.join()
print('thread %s ended.' % threading.current_thread().name)
执行结果如下:
thread MainThread is running...
thread LoopThread is running...
thread LoopThread >>> 1
thread LoopThread >>> 2
thread LoopThread >>> 3
thread LoopThread >>> 4
thread LoopThread >>> 5
thread LoopThread ended.
thread MainThread ended.

多核CPU
Python的线程虽然是真正的线程,但解释器执行代码时,有一个GIL锁:Global Interpreter Lock,任何Python线程执行前,必须先获得GIL锁,然后,每执行100条字节码,解释器就自动释放GIL锁,让别的线程有机会执行。这个GIL全局锁实际上把所有线程的执行代码都给上了锁,所以,多线程在Python中只能交替执行,即使100个线程跑在100核CPU上,也只能用到1个核
Python虽然不能利用多线程实现多核任务,但可以通过多进程实现多核任务。多个Python进程有各自独立的GIL锁,互不影响。
