关于在PyQt4和Python 2.7中使用QThread
的快速问题。我正在创建一个继承自QObject
的流程,并将其分配给我在一个单独的类中创建的Qthread
(也继承自QObject
)。
将QThread
对象传递给进程对象是否安全,以便我可以在进程内调用thread.msleep(mseconds)
?
我希望能够使线程等待或休眠,但我已经读过,当与PyQt多线程一起使用时,time.sleep(秒)是狡猾的。
我确实尝试将进程对象的信号发送到主线程中的一个插槽(附加到该进程对象的thread.msleep(mseconds)
),但我发现这无法工作;进程对象继续执行直到完成,此时后才执行插槽。即使在调整优先级之后,这仍然会发生。这是不可接受的,因为我希望流程循环能够连续运行。
还有其他建议吗?
答案 0 :(得分:1)
我最终设法改变我的代码以实现我在我的问题中所需的功能:即使线程在指定的时间内等待或休眠的能力。
首先,我的研究似乎表明,Qt中子类化QThread
变得不明智的一个主要原因是线程不应该能够管理自己。虽然我的问题没有官方文档,但我只能推测将线程对象传递给在其上运行的进程对象也是不明智的,因为线程将再次能够直接控制自己。
我找到的解决方案是完全免除msleep()
。关于QThread的Qt文档建议避免使用sleep()
和wait()
函数,因为它们不适合Qt的事件驱动特性。他们建议QTimer()
用于在超时后通过信号调用函数,代替msleep()
。默认情况下,QTimer()
用于在每个时间间隔发送重复信号,但也可以使用QTimer.singleShot()
发送一次信号。文档中还指出,在一个帖子中调用QSleep()
是安全的。
我只使用重复QTimer
多次调用单个广告位foo()
,但要在foo()
内添加延迟,QTimer.singleShot()
可用于拨打秒在设定的毫秒数后函数moo()
。
编辑:我已经决定包含我的线程代码,它将QObject和QThread子类化,以便在每个给定时间间隔的连续循环中对线程执行任务。据我所知,这是完全可行的,但可以做一点工作。
