Python多处理管道“死锁”

标签: python multiprocessing pipe deadlock

我遇到以下示例代码的问题:

from multiprocessing import Lock, Process, Queue, current_process

def worker(work_queue, done_queue):
    for item in iter(work_queue.get, 'STOP'):
            print("adding ", item, "to done queue")
            #this works: done_queue.put(item*10)
            done_queue.put(item*1000) #this doesnt!
    return True

def main():
    workers = 4
    work_queue = Queue()
    done_queue = Queue()
    processes = []

    for x in range(10):
        work_queue.put("hi"+str(x))

    for w in range(workers):
        p = Process(target=worker, args=(work_queue, done_queue))
        p.start()
        processes.append(p)
        work_queue.put('STOP')

    for p in processes:
        p.join()

    done_queue.put('STOP')

    for item in iter(done_queue.get, 'STOP'):
        print(item)


if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

当完成队列变得足够大(我认为限制大约64k)时,整个事情会冻结而不再进一步通知。

当队列变得太大时,这种情况的一般方法是什么?有没有办法在处理后动态删除元素? The Python docs recommend removing the p.join(),在实际应用中,我无法估计进程何时完成。除了无限循环和使用.get_nowait()之外,还有一个简单的解决方案吗?

答案 0 :(得分:1)

这适用于3.4.0alpha4,3.3,3.2,3.1和2.6。它追溯2.7和3.0。我想它,顺便说一句。
