"""Thread-local objects.
|
||
|
|
||
|
(Note that this module provides a Python version of the threading.local
|
||
|
class. Depending on the version of Python you're using, there may be a
|
||
|
faster one available. You should always import the `local` class from
|
||
|
`threading`.)
|
||
|
|
||
|
Thread-local objects support the management of thread-local data.
|
||
|
If you have data that you want to be local to a thread, simply create
|
||
|
a thread-local object and use its attributes:
|
||
|
|
||
|
>>> mydata = local()
|
||
|
>>> mydata.number = 42
|
||
|
>>> mydata.number
|
||
|
42
|
||
|
|
||
|
You can also access the local-object's dictionary:
|
||
|
|
||
|
>>> mydata.__dict__
|
||
|
{'number': 42}
|
||
|
>>> mydata.__dict__.setdefault('widgets', [])
|
||
|
[]
|
||
|
>>> mydata.widgets
|
||
|
[]
|
||
|
|
||
|
What's important about thread-local objects is that their data are
|
||
|
local to a thread. If we access the data in a different thread:
|
||
|
|
||
|
>>> log = []
|
||
|
>>> def f():
|
||
|
... items = sorted(mydata.__dict__.items())
|
||
|
... log.append(items)
|
||
|
... mydata.number = 11
|
||
|
... log.append(mydata.number)
|
||
|
|
||
|
>>> import threading
|
||
|
>>> thread = threading.Thread(target=f)
|
||
|
>>> thread.start()
|
||
|
>>> thread.join()
|
||
|
>>> log
|
||
|
[[], 11]
|
||
|
|
||
|
we get different data. Furthermore, changes made in the other thread
|
||
|
don't affect data seen in this thread:
|
||
|
|
||
|
>>> mydata.number
|
||
|
42
|
||
|
|
||
|
Of course, values you get from a local object, including a __dict__
|
||
|
attribute, are for whatever thread was current at the time the
|
||
|
attribute was read. For that reason, you generally don't want to save
|
||
|
these values across threads, as they apply only to the thread they
|
||
|
came from.
|
||
|
|
||
|
You can create custom local objects by subclassing the local class:
|
||
|
|
||
|
>>> class MyLocal(local):
|
||
|
... number = 2
|
||
|
... initialized = False
|
||
|
... def __init__(self, **kw):
|
||
|
... if self.initialized:
|
||
|
... raise SystemError('__init__ called too many times')
|
||
|
... self.initialized = True
|
||
|
... self.__dict__.update(kw)
|
||
|
... def squared(self):
|
||
|
... return self.number ** 2
|
||
|
|
||
|
This can be useful to support default values, methods and
|
||
|
initialization. Note that if you define an __init__ method, it will be
|
||
|
called each time the local object is used in a separate thread. This
|
||
|
is necessary to initialize each thread's dictionary.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Now if we create a local object:
|
||
|
|
||
|
>>> mydata = MyLocal(color='red')
|
||
|
|
||
|
Now we have a default number:
|
||
|
|
||
|
>>> mydata.number
|
||
|
2
|
||
|
|
||
|
an initial color:
|
||
|
|
||
|
>>> mydata.color
|
||
|
'red'
|
||
|
>>> del mydata.color
|
||
|
|
||
|
And a method that operates on the data:
|
||
|
|
||
|
>>> mydata.squared()
|
||
|
4
|
||
|
|
||
|
As before, we can access the data in a separate thread:
|
||
|
|
||
|
>>> log = []
|
||
|
>>> thread = threading.Thread(target=f)
|
||
|
>>> thread.start()
|
||
|
>>> thread.join()
|
||
|
>>> log
|
||
|
[[('color', 'red'), ('initialized', True)], 11]
|
||
|
|
||
|
without affecting this thread's data:
|
||
|
|
||
|
>>> mydata.number
|
||
|
2
|
||
|
>>> mydata.color
|
||
|
Traceback (most recent call last):
|
||
|
...
|
||
|
AttributeError: 'MyLocal' object has no attribute 'color'
|
||
|
|
||
|
Note that subclasses can define slots, but they are not thread
|
||
|
local. They are shared across threads:
|
||
|
|
||
|
>>> class MyLocal(local):
|
||
|
... __slots__ = 'number'
|
||
|
|
||
|
>>> mydata = MyLocal()
|
||
|
>>> mydata.number = 42
|
||
|
>>> mydata.color = 'red'
|
||
|
|
||
|
So, the separate thread:
|
||
|
|
||
|
>>> thread = threading.Thread(target=f)
|
||
|
>>> thread.start()
|
||
|
>>> thread.join()
|
||
|
|
||
|
affects what we see:
|
||
|
|
||
|
>>> mydata.number
|
||
|
11
|
||
|
|
||
|
>>> del mydata
|
||
|
