PyQt中带有QThread的后台线程

我创建了一个小示例，展示了处理线程的 3 种不同且简单的方法。我希望它能帮助您找到解决问题的正确方法。

import sys
import time

from PyQt5.QtCore import (QCoreApplication, QObject, QRunnable, QThread,
                          QThreadPool, pyqtSignal)


# Subclassing QThread
# http://qt-project.org/doc/latest/qthread.html
class AThread(QThread):

    def run(self):
        count = 0
        while count < 5:
            time.sleep(1)
            print("A Increasing")
            count += 1

# Subclassing QObject and using moveToThread
# http://blog.qt.digia.com/blog/2007/07/05/qthreads-no-longer-abstract
class SomeObject(QObject):

    finished = pyqtSignal()

    def long_running(self):
        count = 0
        while count < 5:
            time.sleep(1)
            print("B Increasing")
            count += 1
        self.finished.emit()

# Using a QRunnable
# http://qt-project.org/doc/latest/qthreadpool.html
# Note that a QRunnable isn't a subclass of QObject and therefore does
# not provide signals and slots.
class Runnable(QRunnable):

    def run(self):
        count = 0
        app = QCoreApplication.instance()
        while count < 5:
            print("C Increasing")
            time.sleep(1)
            count += 1
        app.quit()


def using_q_thread():
    app = QCoreApplication([])
    thread = AThread()
    thread.finished.connect(app.exit)
    thread.start()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())

def using_move_to_thread():
    app = QCoreApplication([])
    objThread = QThread()
    obj = SomeObject()
    obj.moveToThread(objThread)
    obj.finished.connect(objThread.quit)
    objThread.started.connect(obj.long_running)
    objThread.finished.connect(app.exit)
    objThread.start()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())

def using_q_runnable():
    app = QCoreApplication([])
    runnable = Runnable()
    QThreadPool.globalInstance().start(runnable)
    sys.exit(app.exec_())

if __name__ == "__main__":
    #using_q_thread()
    #using_move_to_thread()
    using_q_runnable()

为 PyQt5，python 3.4 更新这个答案

使用它作为一种模式来启动一个不获取数据并在表单可用时返回数据的工作程序。

1 - Worker 类变得更小，并放在自己的文件 worker.py 中，以便于记忆和独立软件重用。

2 - main.py 文件是定义 GUI Form 类的文件

- 线程对象没有子类化。

4 - thread对象和worker对象都属于Form对象

- 程序的步骤在评论中。

# worker.py
from PyQt5.QtCore import QThread, QObject, pyqtSignal, pyqtSlot
import time


class Worker(QObject):
    finished = pyqtSignal()
    intReady = pyqtSignal(int)


    @pyqtSlot()
    def procCounter(self): # A slot takes no params
        for i in range(1, 100):
            time.sleep(1)
            self.intReady.emit(i)

        self.finished.emit()

主要文件是：

  # main.py
  from PyQt5.QtCore import QThread
  from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QLabel, QWidget, QGridLayout
  import sys
  import worker


  class Form(QWidget):

    def __init__(self):
       super().__init__()
       self.label = QLabel("0")

       # 1 - create Worker and Thread inside the Form
       self.obj = worker.Worker()  # no parent!
       self.thread = QThread()  # no parent!

       # 2 - Connect Worker`s Signals to Form method slots to post data.
       self.obj.intReady.connect(self.onIntReady)

       # 3 - Move the Worker object to the Thread object
       self.obj.moveToThread(self.thread)

       # 4 - Connect Worker Signals to the Thread slots
       self.obj.finished.connect(self.thread.quit)

       # 5 - Connect Thread started signal to Worker operational slot method
       self.thread.started.connect(self.obj.procCounter)

       # * - Thread finished signal will close the app if you want!
       #self.thread.finished.connect(app.exit)

       # 6 - Start the thread
       self.thread.start()

       # 7 - Start the form
       self.initUI()


    def initUI(self):
        grid = QGridLayout()
        self.setLayout(grid)
        grid.addWidget(self.label,0,0)

        self.move(300, 150)
        self.setWindowTitle('thread test')
        self.show()

    def onIntReady(self, i):
        self.label.setText("{}".format(i))
        #print(i)

    app = QApplication(sys.argv)

    form = Form()

    sys.exit(app.exec_())

根据 Qt 开发人员的说法，子类化 QThread 是不正确的（请参阅 http://blog.qt.io/blog/2010/06/17/youre-doing-it-wrong/）。但是那篇文章真的很难理解（加上标题有点居高临下）。我找到了一篇更好的博客文章，它更详细地解释了为什么应该使用一种线程样式而不是另一种线程：http://mayaposch.wordpress.com/2011/11/01/how-to-really-truly-use-qthreads-the-full-explanation/

在我看来，您可能永远不应该为了重载 run 方法而对线程进行子类化。虽然这确实有效，但您基本上是在规避 Qt 希望您如何工作。另外，您会错过诸如事件和适当的线程安全信号和插槽之类的事情。另外，正如您可能会在上面的博客文章中看到的那样，“正确”的线程方式会迫使您编写更多可测试的代码。

这是几个如何在 PyQt 中利用 QThreads 的示例（我在下面发布了一个单独的答案，该答案正确使用了 QRunnable 并结合了信号/插槽，如果您有很多需要负载平衡的异步任务，该答案会更好） .

        for thing in bar:
            # lots of processing...

        self.finished.emit()

    """Need for PyQt4 <= 4.6 only"""
    def __init__(self, parent=None):
        QtCore.QThread.__init__(self, parent)

     # this class is solely needed for these two methods, there
     # appears to be a bug in PyQt 4.6 that requires you to
     # explicitly call run and start from the subclass in order
     # to get the thread to actually start an event loop

    def start(self):
        QtCore.QThread.start(self)

    def run(self):
        QtCore.QThread.run(self)


app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)

thread = Thread() # no parent!
obj = Worker() # no parent!
obj.moveToThread(thread)

# if you want the thread to stop after the worker is done
# you can always call thread.start() again later
obj.finished.connect(thread.quit)

# one way to do it is to start processing as soon as the thread starts
# this is okay in some cases... but makes it harder to send data to
# the worker object from the main gui thread.  As you can see I'm calling
# processA() which takes no arguments
thread.started.connect(obj.processA)
thread.start()

# another way to do it, which is a bit fancier, allows you to talk back and
# forth with the object in a thread safe way by communicating through signals
# and slots (now that the thread is running I can start calling methods on
# the worker object)
QtCore.QMetaObject.invokeMethod(obj, 'processB', Qt.QueuedConnection,
                                QtCore.Q_ARG(str, "Hello World!"),
                                QtCore.Q_ARG(list, ["args", 0, 1]),
                                QtCore.Q_ARG(list, []))

# that looks a bit scary, but its a totally ok thing to do in Qt,
# we're simply using the system that Signals and Slots are built on top of,
# the QMetaObject, to make it act like we safely emitted a signal for 
# the worker thread to pick up when its event loop resumes (so if its doing

# instead of an empty list, it has stricter type checking

app.exec_()

# Without this you may get weird QThread messages in the shell on exit
app.deleteLater()

在 PyQt 中有很多获取异步行为的选项。对于需要事件处理的事情（即 QtNetwork 等），您应该使用我在此线程的其他答案中提供的 QThread 示例。但是对于绝大多数线程需求，我认为这个解决方案比其他方法要优越得多。

这样做的好处是 QThreadPool 将您的 QRunnable 实例安排为任务。这类似于英特尔 TBB 中使用的任务模式。它不像我喜欢的那样优雅，但它确实实现了出色的异步行为。

这允许您通过 QRunnable 在 Python 中利用 Qt 的大部分线程功能，并且仍然可以利用信号和插槽。我在几个应用程序中使用相同的代码，一些进行数百次异步 REST 调用，一些打开文件或列出目录，最好的部分是使用这种方法，Qt 任务为我平衡了系统资源。

def async(method, args, uid, readycb, errorcb=None):

    :param slot updatecb: the callback when data is receieved cb(uid, data)
    :param slot errorcb: the callback when there is an error cb(uid, errmsg)

    The uid option is useful when the calling code makes multiple async calls
    and the callbacks need some context about what was sent to the async method.
    For example, if you use this method to thread a long running database call
    and the user decides they want to cancel it and start a different one, the
    first one may complete before you have a chance to cancel the task.  In that
    case, the "readycb" will be called with the cancelled task's data.  The uid
    can be used to differentiate those two calls (ie. using the sql query).

基于其他答案中提到的 Worker 对象方法，我决定看看我是否可以扩展解决方案以调用更多线程 - 在这种情况下，机器可以运行并启动多个具有不确定完成时间的工作人员的最佳数量。为此，我仍然需要对 QThread 进行子类化——但只需分配一个线程号并“重新实现”信号“完成”和“开始”以包含它们的线程号。

我非常关注主 gui、线程和工作人员之间的信号。

同样，其他人的答案一直很难指出没有养育 QThread，但我认为这不是一个真正的问题。但是，我的代码也很小心地破坏了 QThread 对象。

但是，我无法将工作对象作为父对象，因此在线程函数完成或 GUI 被破坏时，向它们发送 deleteLater() 信号似乎是可取的。我有自己的代码因为不这样做而挂起。

我认为有必要的另一个改进是重新实现 GUI (QWidget) 的 closeEvent，以便指示线程退出，然后 GUI 将等待所有线程完成。当我玩这个问题的其他一些答案时，我得到了 QThread 被破坏的错误。

也许它对其他人有用。我当然发现这是一个有用的练习。也许其他人会知道线程宣布其身份的更好方法。

PySide2 解决方案：

与 PyQt5 不同，在 PySide2 中，QThread.started 信号在原始线程上接收/处理，而不是工作线程！幸运的是，它仍然接收工作线程上的所有其他信号。

为了匹配 PyQt5 的行为，您必须自己创建启动信号。

这是一个简单的解决方案：

# Use this class instead of QThread
class QThread2(QThread):
    # Use this signal instead of "started"
    started2 = Signal()

    def __init__(self):
        QThread.__init__(self)
        self.started.connect(self.onStarted)

    def onStarted(self):
        self.started2.emit()
