Python线程优先级队列（Queue）

Python的Queue模块中提供了同步的、线程安全的队列类，包括FIFO（先入先出)队列Queue，LIFO（后入先出）队列 LifoQueue，和优先级队列PriorityQueue。这些队列都实现了锁原语，能够在多线程中直接使用。可以使用队列来实现线程间的同步。

Queue模块中的常用方法:

• Queue.qsize() 返回队列的大小
• Queue.empty() 如果队列为空，返回True,反之False
• Queue.full() 如果队列满了，返回True,反之False
• Queue.full 与 maxsize 大小对应
• Queue.get([block[, timeout]])获取队列，timeout等待时间
• Queue.get_nowait() 相当Queue.get(False)
• Queue.put(item) 写入队列，timeout等待时间
• Queue.put_nowait(item) 相当Queue.put(item, False)
• Queue.task_done() 在完成一项工作之后，Queue.task_done()函数向任务已经完成的队列发送一个信号
• Queue.join() 实际上意味着等到队列为空，再执行别的操作

import Queue
import threading
import time

exitFlag = 0

class myThread (threading.Thread):
    def __init__(self, threadID, name, q):
        threading.Thread.__init__(self)
        self.threadID = threadID
        self.name = name
        self.q = q
    def run(self):
        print "Starting " + self.name
        process_data(self.name, self.q)
        print "Exiting " + self.name

def process_data(threadName, q):
    while not exitFlag:
        queueLock.acquire()
        if not workQueue.empty():
            data = q.get()
            queueLock.release()
            print "%s processing %s" % (threadName, data)
        else:
            queueLock.release()
        time.sleep(1)

threadList = ["Thread-1", "Thread-2", "Thread-3"]
nameList = ["One", "Two", "Three", "Four", "Five"]
queueLock = threading.Lock()
workQueue = Queue.Queue(10)
threads = []
threadID = 1

# 创建新线程
for tName in threadList:
    thread = myThread(threadID, tName, workQueue)
    thread.start()
    threads.append(thread)
    threadID += 1

# 填充队列
queueLock.acquire()
for word in nameList:
    workQueue.put(word)
queueLock.release()

# 等待队列清空
while not workQueue.empty():
    pass

# 通知线程是时候退出
exitFlag = 1

# 等待所有线程完成
for t in threads:
    t.join()
print "Exiting Main Thread"

以上程序执行结果：

Starting Thread-1
Starting Thread-2
Starting Thread-3
Thread-1 processing One
Thread-2 processing Two
Thread-3 processing Three
Thread-1 processing Four
Thread-2 processing Five
Exiting Thread-3
Exiting Thread-1
Exiting Thread-2
Exiting Main Thread
