Simple threading event example [closed]
Example based on queue
documentation:
#!python3import threadingfrom queue import Queueimport time# lock to serialize console outputlock = threading.Lock()def do_work(item): time.sleep(.1) # pretend to do some lengthy work. # Make sure the whole print completes or threads can mix up output in one line. with lock: print(threading.current_thread().name,item)# The worker thread pulls an item from the queue and processes itdef worker(): while True: item = q.get() do_work(item) q.task_done()# Create the queue and thread pool.q = Queue()for i in range(4): t = threading.Thread(target=worker) t.daemon = True # thread dies when main thread (only non-daemon thread) exits. t.start()# stuff work items on the queue (in this case, just a number).start = time.perf_counter()for item in range(20): q.put(item)q.join() # block until all tasks are done# "Work" took .1 seconds per task.# 20 tasks serially would be 2 seconds.# With 4 threads should be about .5 seconds (contrived because non-CPU intensive "work")print('time:',time.perf_counter() - start)
