setDaemon(True)将线程声明为守护线程,必须在start() 方法调用之前设置,如果不设置为守护线程程序会被无限挂起。子线程启动后,父线程也继续执行下去,当父线程执行完最后一条语句print "all over %s" %ctime()后,没有等待子线程,直接就退出了,同时子线程也一同结束。
start()
开始线程活动。
运行结果:
>>> ========================= RESTART ================================
>>>

从执行结果来看,子线程(muisc 、move )和主线程(print "all over %s" %ctime())都是同一时间启动,但由于主线程执行完结束,所以导致子线程也终止。
继续调整程序:
...
if __name__ == '__main__':
for t in threads:
t.setDaemon(True)
t.start()
t.join()
print "all over %s" %ctime()
我们只对上面的程序加了个join()方法,用于等待线程终止。join()的作用是,在子线程完成运行之前,这个子线程的父线程将一直被阻塞。
注意: join()方法的位置是在for循环外的,也就是说必须等待for循环里的两个进程都结束后,才去执行主进程。
运行结果:
>>> ========================= RESTART ================================

从执行结果可看到,music 和move 是同时启动的。
开始时间4分11秒,直到调用主进程为4分22秒,总耗时为10秒。从单线程时减少了2秒,我们可以把music的sleep()的时间调整为4秒。
...
def music(func):
for i in range(2):
print "I was listening to %s. %s" %(func,ctime())
sleep(4)
...
执行结果:

子线程启动11分27秒,主线程运行11分37秒。
虽然music每首歌曲从1秒延长到了4 ,但通多程线的方式运行脚本,总的时间没变化。

class threading.Thread()说明:
class threading.Thread(group=None, target=None, name=None, args=(), kwargs={})
This constructor should always be called with keyword arguments. Arguments are:
group should be None; reserved for future extension when a ThreadGroup class is implemented.
target is the callable object to be invoked by the run() method. Defaults to None, meaning nothing is called.
name is the thread name. By default, a unique name is constructed of the form “Thread-N” where N is a small decimal number.
args is the argument tuple for the target invocation. Defaults to ().
kwargs is a dictionary of keyword arguments for the target invocation. Defaults to {}.
If the subclass overrides the constructor, it must make sure to invoke the base class constructor (Thread.__init__()) before doing
anything else to the thread.
