Python threading 單線程 timer重復調用函數

項目中需要使用定時器，每次都使用構造器函數調用：

timer = threading.Timer(timerFlag, upload_position)
timer.start()   

打印線程后發現，每次都會創建一個新的子線程，雖然活躍的線程只有一個，但是也是種資源浪費：

print("threading active = {} \n   \n".format(threading.enumerate()))

#打印
threading active = [<_MainThread(MainThread, stopped 140735596835712)>, <Timer(Thread-1, started 123145498161152)>]
threading active = [<_MainThread(MainThread, stopped 140735596835712)>, <Timer(Thread-1, started 123145498161152)>]
threading active = [<_MainThread(MainThread, stopped 140735596835712)>, <Timer(Thread-1, started 123145498161152)>]

threading active = [<_MainThread(MainThread, stopped 140735596835712)>, <Timer(Thread-2, started 123145503416320)>]
threading active = [<_MainThread(MainThread, stopped 140735596835712)>, <Timer(Thread-2, started 123145503416320)>]

threading active = [<_MainThread(MainThread, stopped 140735596835712)>, <Timer(Thread-3, started 123145498161152)>]
threading active = [<_MainThread(MainThread, stopped 140735596835712)>, <Timer(Thread-3, started 123145498161152)>]

閱讀源碼和文檔

class Timer(Thread):
    """Call a function after a specified number of seconds:

            t = Timer(30.0, f, args=None, kwargs=None)
            t.start()
            t.cancel()     # stop the timer's action if it's still waiting

    """

    def __init__(self, interval, function, args=None, kwargs=None):
        Thread.__init__(self)
        self.interval = interval
        self.function = function
        self.args = args if args is not None else []
        self.kwargs = kwargs if kwargs is not None else {}
        self.finished = Event()

    def cancel(self):
        """Stop the timer if it hasn't finished yet."""
        self.finished.set()

    def run(self):
        self.finished.wait(self.interval)
        if not self.finished.is_set():
            self.function(*self.args, **self.kwargs)
        self.finished.set()

# Special thread class to represent the main thread
# This is garbage collected through an exit handler

發現，其實Timer是threading的子類，用wait實現了定時效果，綁定了入參function，於是修改代碼如下

def startTimer():
    global timer
    if timer != None:
        timer.finished.wait(timerFlag)
        timer.function()   
    else:
        timer = threading.Timer(timerFlag, upload_position)
        timer.start()

打印結果：

threading active = [<_MainThread(MainThread, stopped 140735596835712)>, <Timer(Thread-1, started 123145516048384)>]

threading active = [<_MainThread(MainThread, stopped 140735596835712)>, <Timer(Thread-1, started 123145516048384)>]



threading active = [<_MainThread(MainThread, stopped 140735596835712)>, <Timer(Thread-1, started 123145516048384)>]

threading active = [<_MainThread(MainThread, stopped 140735596835712)>, <Timer(Thread-1, started 123145516048384)>]


threading active = [<_MainThread(MainThread, stopped 140735596835712)>, <Timer(Thread-1, started 123145516048384)>]

threading active = [<_MainThread(MainThread, stopped 140735596835712)>, <Timer(Thread-1, started 123145516048384)>]

始終只有一個線程且重復調用函數方法~End~
