Twisted：为什么将延迟回调传递给延迟线程会使线程突然阻塞？

我尝试使用 txredis （redis 的非阻塞扭曲 api）作为持久消息队列，但没有成功，我正在尝试使用我正在开发的 scrapy 项目进行设置。我发现虽然客户端没有阻塞，但它变得比本来应该的要慢得多，因为反应堆循环中本应是一个事件的事件被分成了数千个步骤。

因此，我尝试使用 redis-py（常规阻塞扭曲 api）并将调用包装在延迟线程中。它工作得很好，但是我想在调用 redis 时执行内部延迟，因为我想设置连接池以尝试进一步加快速度。

下面是我对延迟线程扭曲文档中一些示例代码的解释，以说明我的用例：

#!/usr/bin/env python
from twisted.internet import reactor,threads
from twisted.internet.task import LoopingCall
import time

def main_loop():
    print 'doing stuff in main loop.. do not block me!'


def aBlockingRedisCall():
    print 'doing lookup... this may take a while'
    time.sleep(10)
    return 'results from redis'

def result(res):
    print res

def main():
    lc = LoopingCall(main_loop)
    lc.start(2)
    d = threads.deferToThread(aBlockingRedisCall)
    d.addCallback(result)
    reactor.run()

if __name__=='__main__':
    main()

这是我对连接池的更改，它使延迟线程中的代码阻塞：

#!/usr/bin/env python
from twisted.internet import reactor,defer
from twisted.internet.task import LoopingCall
import time

def main_loop():
    print 'doing stuff in main loop.. do not block me!'

def aBlockingRedisCall(x):
    if x<5: #all connections are busy, try later
        print '%s is less than 5, get a redis client later' % x
        x+=1
        d = defer.Deferred()
        d.addCallback(aBlockingRedisCall)
        reactor.callLater(1.0,d.callback,x)
        return d

    else: 
        print 'got a redis client; doing lookup.. this may take a while'
        time.sleep(10) # this is now blocking.. any ideas?
        d = defer.Deferred()
        d.addCallback(gotFinalResult)
        d.callback(x)
        return d

def gotFinalResult(x):
    return 'final result is %s' % x

def result(res):
    print res

def aBlockingMethod():
    print 'going to sleep...'
    time.sleep(10)
    print 'woke up'

def main():
    lc = LoopingCall(main_loop)
    lc.start(2)


    d = defer.Deferred()
    d.addCallback(aBlockingRedisCall)
    d.addCallback(result)
    reactor.callInThread(d.callback, 1)
    reactor.run()

if __name__=='__main__':
    main()

所以我的问题是，有谁知道为什么我的更改会导致延迟线程阻塞和/或有人可以提出更好的解决方案吗？

嗯，作为扭曲的文档 http://twistedmatrix.com/documents/current/core/howto/gendefer.html say:

Deferreds 不会生成代码 神奇地不阻止

每当您使用阻塞代码时，例如sleep，您必须将其推迟到新线程。

#!/usr/bin/env python
from twisted.internet import reactor,defer, threads
from twisted.internet.task import LoopingCall
import time

def main_loop():
    print 'doing stuff in main loop.. do not block me!'

def aBlockingRedisCall(x):
    if x<5: #all connections are busy, try later
        print '%s is less than 5, get a redis client later' % x
        x+=1
        d = defer.Deferred()
        d.addCallback(aBlockingRedisCall)
        reactor.callLater(1.0,d.callback,x)
        return d

    else: 
        print 'got a redis client; doing lookup.. this may take a while'
        def getstuff( x ):
            time.sleep(3)
            return "stuff is %s" % x

        # getstuff is blocking, so you need to push it to a new thread
        d = threads.deferToThread(getstuff, x)
        d.addCallback(gotFinalResult)
        return d

def gotFinalResult(x):
    return 'final result is %s' % x

def result(res):
    print res

def aBlockingMethod():
    print 'going to sleep...'
    time.sleep(10)
    print 'woke up'

def main():
    lc = LoopingCall(main_loop)
    lc.start(2)


    d = defer.Deferred()
    d.addCallback(aBlockingRedisCall)
    d.addCallback(result)
    reactor.callInThread(d.callback, 1)
    reactor.run()

if __name__=='__main__':
    main()

如果redis api不是很复杂，那么使用twisted.web重写它可能更自然，而不是仅仅在很多线程中调用阻塞api。
