如何使用Python中的Managers()在多个进程之间共享字符串?

我需要读取主进程中的multiprocessing.Process实例写的字符串。我已经使用Managers和队列将参数传递给进程,因此使用Managers似乎很明显,but Managers do not support strings

  

Manager()返回的经理将支持类型列表,dict,   Namespace,Lock,RLock,Semaphore,BoundedSemaphore,Condition,Event,   队列,价值和数组。

如何使用多处理模块中的Managers共享字符串表示的状态?

多处理的管理员可以保留Values,而c_char_p可以保存来自ctypes模块的Post with the original solution类型的实例:

>>> import multiprocessing
>>> import ctypes
>>> v = multiprocessing.Value('c', "Hello, World!")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/multiprocessing/__init__.py", line 253, in Value
    return Value(typecode_or_type, *args, **kwds)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/multiprocessing/sharedctypes.py", line 99, in Value
    obj = RawValue(typecode_or_type, *args)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/multiprocessing/sharedctypes.py", line 73, in RawValue
    obj.__init__(*args)
TypeError: one character string expected
>>> cstring = multiprocessing.Value(ctypes.c_char_p, "Hello, World!")
>>> cstring
<Synchronized wrapper for c_char_p(166841564)>
>>> cstring.value
'Hello, World!'

另请参阅:{{3}}我很难找到。

因此,可以使用Manager在Python中的多个进程下共享字符串,如下所示:

>>> from multiprocessing import Process, Manager, Value
>>> from ctypes import c_char_p
>>> 
>>> def greet(string):
>>>     string.value = string.value + ", World!"
>>> 
>>> if __name__ == '__main__':
>>>     manager = Manager()
>>>     string = manager.Value(c_char_p, "Hello")
>>>     process = Process(target=greet, args=(string,))
>>>     process.start()
>>>     process.join()    
>>>     print string.value
'Hello, World!'

只需将字符串放在dict

d = manager.dict()
d['state'] = 'xyz'

由于字符串本身是不可变的,因此直接共享字符串不会有用。
