Python多线程下存在_strptime的问题

由于Python的datetime和time中的_strptime方法不支持多线程，运行时会报错：AttributeError: _strptime

code:

# -*- coding:utf-8 -*-
import threading
import time
import datetime

ISO8601_INT_SECONDS = '%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ'
expiry_string = "2018-01-04T04:23:02Z"

def test_thread(expiry_string):
    expiry = datetime.datetime.strptime(
                    expiry_string, ISO8601_INT_SECONDS)
    print expiry

threads = []
for i in xrange(5):
    t = threading.Thread(target=test_thread, args=(expiry_string,))
    threads.append(t)

for t in threads:
    t.start()

for t in threads:
    t.join()

print "every thing is ok!!!"

会报错误：AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute '_strptime'

 

解决方案：

1.在调用_strptime的地方加锁(推荐)

方式1.

c = threading.RLock()
def f():
    with c:
        datetime.datetime.strptime("20100101","%Y%m%d")

方式2：

LOCK = thread.allocate_lock()

 LOCK.acquire()

 datetime.datetime.strptime("20100101","%Y%m%d")

 LOCK.release()

 

2、在线程启动前调用一次_strptime（原因是报了这个错），不是很推荐

方式1、import _strptime

方式2、在调用线程前执行一次： datetime.datetime.strptime("20100101","%Y%m%d")。(似乎对我们不合适)
