我有一个程序，通过我在PyQt中编写的gui与我正在使用的收音机连接。显然，无线电的一个主要功能是传输数据，但为了不断地这样做，我必须循环写入，这会导致gui挂起。由于我从未处理过线程，我试图使用QCoreApplication.processEvents().摆脱这些挂起。无线电需要在传输之间休眠，所以gui仍然会根据这些睡眠的持续时间而挂起。
有没有一种简单的方法可以使用QThread来解决这个问题？我已经找到了关于如何使用PyQt实现多线程的教程，但是大多数都涉及设置服务器，并且比我需要的更先进。老实说，我甚至不需要我的线程在运行时更新任何东西，我只需要启动它，让它在后台传输，然后停止它。
我创建了一个小例子，展示了处理线程的3种不同简单方法。我希望它能帮助您找到解决问题的正确方法。

根据Qt开发人员的说法，继承QThread是不正确的（参见http://blog.qt.io/blog/2010/06/17/youre-doing-it-wrong/）。但那篇文章真的很难理解（加上标题有点居高临下）。我发现了一篇更好的博客文章，更详细地解释了为什么你应该使用一种线程方式而不是另一种方式：http://mayaposch.wordpress.com/2011/11/01/how-to-really-truly-use-qthreads-the-full-explanation/
在我看来，你可能永远不应该为了重载run方法的意图而继承子线程。虽然这确实有效，但你基本上是在规避Qt希望你如何工作。此外，你会错过事件和正确的线程安全信号和插槽等事情。正如您在上面的博文中可能看到的那样，“正确”的线程方式迫使您编写更多可测试的代码。
下面是几个如何在PyQt中利用QThreads的例子（我在下面发布了一个单独的答案，正确使用了QRunnable并整合了信号/插槽，如果你有很多需要负载均衡的异步任务，答案会更好） 。

# lots of processing...
self.dataReady.emit(['dummy', 'data'], {'dummy': ['data']})
self.finished.emit()
class Thread(QtCore.QThread):
"""Need for PyQt4 <= 4.6 only"""
def __init__(self, parent=None):
QtCore.QThread.__init__(self, parent)
# this class is solely needed for these two methods, there
# appears to be a bug in PyQt 4.6 that requires you to
# explicitly call run and start from the subclass in order
# to get the thread to actually start an event loop
def start(self):
QtCore.QThread.start(self)
def run(self):
QtCore.QThread.run(self)
app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
thread = Thread() # no parent!
obj = Worker() # no parent!
obj.moveToThread(thread)
# if you want the thread to stop after the worker is done
# you can always call thread.start() again later
obj.finished.connect(thread.quit)
# one way to do it is to start processing as soon as the thread starts
# this is okay in some cases... but makes it harder to send data to
# the worker object from the main gui thread. As you can see I'm calling
# processA() which takes no arguments

thread.start()
# another way to do it, which is a bit fancier, allows you to talk back and
# forth with the object in a thread safe way by communicating through signals
# and slots (now that the thread is running I can start calling methods on
# the worker object)
QtCore.QMetaObject.invokeMethod(obj, 'processB', Qt.QueuedConnection,
QtCore.Q_ARG(str, "Hello World!"),
QtCore.Q_ARG(list, ["args", 0, 1]),
QtCore.Q_ARG(list, []))
# that looks a bit scary, but its a totally ok thing to do in Qt,

# Without this you may get weird QThread messages in the shell on exit
app.deleteLater()
在PyQt中，有很多选项可以获得异步行为。对于需要事件处理的事情（即QtNetwork等），您应该使用我在该线程的其他答案中提供的QThread示例。但是对于绝大多数的线程需求，我认为这个解决方案远远优于其他方法。
这样做的好处是QThreadPool将您的QRunnable实例作为任务进行调度。这类似于英特尔TBB中使用的任务模式。它并不像我喜欢的那么优雅，但它确实带来了出色的异步行为。
这允许您通过QRunnable利用Python中Qt的大部分线程功能，并仍然利用信号和插槽。我在几个应用程序中使用相同的代码，一些用于进行数百个异步REST调用，一些用于打开文件或列表目录，最好的部分是使用此方法，Qt任务为我平衡系统资源。

The uid option is useful when the calling code makes multiple async calls

For example, if you use this method to thread a long running database call
and the user decides they want to cancel it and start a different one, the
first one may complete before you have a chance to cancel the task. In that
case, the "readycb" will be called with the cancelled task's data. The uid

退出应用程序时，您需要确保取消所有任务，否则应用程序将挂起，直到每个计划任务完成
基于其他答案中提到的Worker对象方法，我决定看看是否可以扩展解决方案以调用更多线程 - 在这种情况下，机器可以运行的最佳数量并且使用不确定的完成时间来启动多个工作线程。要做到这一点，我仍然需要继承QThread - 但只需要分配一个线程号并“重新实现”信号'已完成'和'已启动'以包含其线程号。
我主要关注主要gui，线程和工人之间的信号。
同样，其他人的回答一直是一个痛苦，指出没有养育QThread，但我不认为这是一个真正的问题。但是，我的代码也小心破坏了QThread对象。
但是，我无法为工作对象提供父项，因此在线程函数完成或GUI被销毁时，似乎需要向它们发送deleteLater（）信号。我有自己的代码挂起来没有这样做。
我觉得有必要的另一个改进是重新实现GUI的closeEvent（QWidget），这样就会指示线程退出，然后GUI会等到所有线程都完成。当我玩这个问题的其他一些答案时，我得到了QThread破坏错误。
也许它会对其他人有用。我当然认为这是一项有用的练习。也许其他人会知道线程宣布身份的更好方法。
