[Python]协程

Python对协程的支持是通过generator实现的。

在generator中，我们不但可以通过for循环来迭代，还可以不断调用next()函数获取由yield语句返回的下一个值。

但是Python的yield不但可以返回一个值，它还可以接收调用者发出的参数。

def consumer():
    r = ''
    while True:
        n = yield r
        if not n:
            return
        print('[CONSUMER] Consuming %s...' % n)
        r = '200 OK'


def produce(c):
    c.send(None)
    n = 0
    while n < 5:
        n = n + 1
        print('[PRODUCER] Producing %s...' % n)
        r = c.send(n)
        print('[PRODUCER] Consumer return: %s' % r)
    c.close()


c = consumer()
produce(c)

输出：

[PRODUCER] Producing 1...
[CONSUMER] Consuming 1...
[PRODUCER] Consumer return: 200 OK

[CONSUMER] Consuming 4...
[PRODUCER] Consumer return: 200 OK
[PRODUCER] Producing 5...
[CONSUMER] Consuming 5...
[PRODUCER] Consumer return: 200 OK

当协程执行到yield关键字时，会暂停在那一行，等到主线程调用send方法发送了数据，协程才会接到数据继续执行。

yield让协程暂停，和线程的阻塞是有本质区别的。协程的暂停完全由程序控制，线程的阻塞状态是由操作系统内核来进行切换。
