PyQT和线程

Question

我正在开发一个使用多个线程从各种网络设备收集数据的应用程序。我正在使用PyQT在GUI上显示收集的数据。我在我的应用程序中使用常规python线程（来自线程，线程）（而不是QThread）。为了更新不同线程上的GUI，我使用了一个锁（thread.allocate_lock（））。因此，每当GUI更新发生时，我都会调用lock，更新GUI。对此有何担忧？

Answer 1

我很确定在Qt​​中更新来自不同线程的GUI是危险的，即使你试图在你自己的代码中锁定东西。首先，Qt可能正在主线程上执行自己的事件处理，并且它不会获取您的锁来保护它可能修改的对象。 Qt文档中的On this page，明确提到QWidget不可重入或线程安全的事实。

我建议您将收集的数据或其处理版本发布回主线程。使用排队的信号/插槽连接，或自定义QEvent和QApplication::postEvent来执行此操作。在jkerian提到的上一个问题中，它说如果你想让事件发布正常工作，你将不得不使用QThread而不是python的线程。

这是一个迟到的回复，但我想分享我发现的。这是来自WickedDevice Blog的代码，我发现它对理解线程和PyQt很有用：

import sys, time, threading, random, Queue
from PyQt4 import QtGui, QtCore as qt

SERIALPORT = 'COM6'

class GuiPart(QtGui.QMainWindow):

    def __init__(self, queue, endcommand, *args):
        QtGui.QMainWindow.__init__(self, *args)
        self.setWindowTitle('Arduino Serial Demo')
        self.queue = queue
        # We show the result of the thread in the gui, instead of the console
        self.editor = QtGui.QTextEdit(self)
        self.setCentralWidget(self.editor)
        self.endcommand = endcommand

            ser = serial.Serial(SERIALPORT, 115200)
            msg = ser.readline();

    root = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
    client = ThreadedClient()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())

我使用pyqtSignal和Python的线程。您可以创建线程，当线程完成后，它会发送信号来更新您的GUI。
