如何使用wxpython线程来防止阻塞主循环

我正在开展一个学校项目,在python平台上开发定制的媒体播放器。问题是当我使用time.sleep(duration)时,它会阻止我的GUI的主循环,阻止它更新。我咨询了我的主管,并被告知要使用多线程,但我不知道如何使用线程。有人建议我在下面的场景中如何实现线程化吗?


代码:

def load_playlist(self, event):
    playlist = ["D:\Videos\test1.mp4", "D:\Videos\test2.avi"]
    for path in playlist:
        #calculate each media file duration
        ffmpeg_command = ['C:\\MPlayer-rtm-svn-31170\\ffmpeg.exe', '-i' , path]

        pipe = subprocess.Popen(ffmpeg_command, shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.STDOUT)
        results = pipe.communicate()

        #Regular expression to get the duration
        length_regexp = 'Duration: (\d{2}):(\d{2}):(\d{2})\.\d+,'
        re_length = re.compile(length_regexp)

        # find the matches using the regexp that to compare with the buffer/string
        matches = re_length.search(str(results))
        #print matches

        hour = matches.group(1)
        minute = matches.group(2)
        second = matches.group(3)

        #Converting to second
        hour_to_second = int(hour) * 60 * 60
        minute_to_second = int(minute) * 60
        second_to_second = int(second)

        num_second = hour_to_second + minute_to_second + second_to_second
        print num_second

        #Play the media file
        trackPath = '"%s"' % path.replace("\\", "/")
        self.mplayer.Loadfile(trackPath)

        #Sleep for the duration of second(s) for the video before jumping to another video
        time.sleep(num_second) #THIS IS THE PROBLEM#

你可能想看一下wxPython wiki,它有几个使用线程,队列和其他好玩的例子:

我还在这里写了一个关于这个主题的教程:http://www.blog.pythonlibrary.org/2010/05/22/wxpython-and-threads/

要记住的主要事情是,当你使用线程时,你不能直接调用你的wx方法(即myWidget.SetValue等)。相反,您需要使用其中一个wxPython线程安全方法:wx.CallAfter,wx.CallLater或wx.PostEvent

您可以像任何其他多线程示例一样启动新线程:

from threading import Thread

# in caller code, start a new thread
Thread(target=load_playlist).start()

但是,您必须确保对wx的调用必须处理线程间通信。你不能只从这个新线程调用wx-code。它将是段错误。因此,请使用wx.CallAfter

# in load_playlist, you have to synchronize your wx calls
wx.CallAfter(self.mplayer.Loadfile, trackPath)
