是否可以在 Python 中的线程内生成进程？

Question

我正在编写一个程序，它会产生一个进程并在某些条件下重新启动该进程。例如，如果某个子进程不再向母进程发送数据，那么在一段时间内，我希望母进程终止子进程并重新启动它。我以为我可以使用线程从子进程接收数据并重新启动子进程，但它并没有像我想的那样工作。

import numpy as np
import multiprocessing as mp
import threading
import time
from apscheduler.schedulers.background import BackgroundScheduler

pipe_in, pipe_out = mp.Pipe()

class Mother():
    def __init__(self):
        self.pipe_out = pipe_out

        self.proc = mp.Process(target = self.test_func, args=(pipe_in, ))
        self.proc.start()

        self.thread = threading.Thread(target=self.thread_reciever, args=(self.pipe_out, ))
        self.thread.start()

    def thread_reciever(self, pipe_out):
        while True:
            value = pipe_out.recv()

            print(value)
            if value == 5:
                self.proc.terminate()
                time.sleep(2)
                self.proc = mp.Process(target = self.test_func)
                self.proc.start()

    def test_func(self, pipe_in):
        for i in range(10):
            pipe_in.send(i)
            time.sleep(1)


if __name__ == '__main__':
    r = Mother()

它打印出这个错误。

如何在线程中启动和终止进程？ （我使用线程是因为它可以同步接收来自不同进程的数据）或者还有其他方法可以完成这项工作吗？

test_func 作为全局函数

import numpy as np
import multiprocessing as mp
import threading
import time
from apscheduler.schedulers.background import BackgroundScheduler

pipe_in, pipe_out = mp.Pipe()  

def test_func( pipe_in):
    for i in range(10):
        pipe_in.send(i)
        time.sleep(1)

class Mother():
    def __init__(self):
        self.pipe_out = pipe_out
        mp.freeze_support()
        self.proc = mp.Process(target = test_func, args=(pipe_in, ))
        self.proc.start()

        self.thread = threading.Thread(target=self.thread_reciever, args=(self.pipe_out, ))
        self.thread.start()

    def thread_reciever(self, pipe_out):
        while True:
            value = pipe_out.recv()

            print(value)
            if value == 5:
                self.proc.terminate()
                time.sleep(2)
                mp.freeze_support()
                self.proc = mp.Process(target = test_func, args=(pipe_in,))
                self.proc.start()


if __name__ == '__main__':

    r = Mother()

输出

windows下，由于没有fork系统调用，python启动一个新的解释器实例，使用pickle/unpickle重构执行上下文，但thread.Lock不可picklable。在酸洗self.test_func、self.thread 引用thread.Lock 对象时，使其不可酸洗。

您可以简单地将test_func 更改为普通的全局函数，无需线程对象引用：

self.proc = mp.Process(target = test_func, args=(pipe_in,))
...
def test_func(pipe_in):
    for i in range(10):
        pipe_in.send(i)
        time.sleep(1)
