使用Condition对象可以在某些事件触发后才处理数据或执行特定的功能代码，可以用于不同线程之间的通信或通知，以实现更高级别的同步。在内部实现上，Condition对象总是与某种锁对象相关联。

Condition对象除了具有acquire()和release()方法之外，还有wait()、wait_for()、notify()、notify_all()等方法：

• wait(timeout=None)方法会释放锁，并阻塞当前线程直到超时或其他线程针对同一个Condition对象调用了notify()/notify_all()方法，被唤醒之后当前线程会重新尝试获取锁并在成功获取锁之后结束wait()方法，然后继续执行；

• wait_for(predicate, timeout=None)方法阻塞当前线程直到超时或者指定条件得到满足；

• notify(n=1)唤醒等待该Condition对象的一个或多个线程，该方法并不负责释放锁；

• notify_all()方法会唤醒等待该Condition对象的所有线程。

本文代码模拟了经典的生产者-消费者问题，使用列表模拟物品池，生产者往里放物品，消费者从中获取物品，物品池满时生产者等待，空时消费者等待。

import threading

from random import randint

from time import sleep

#自定义生产者线程类

class Producer(threading.Thread):

def __init__(self, threadname):

threading.Thread.__init__(self,name=threadname)

def run(self):

global x

while True:

sleep(1)

#获取锁

con.acquire()

#假设共享列表中最多能容纳5个元素

if len(x) == 5:

#如果共享列表已满，生产者等待

print('Producer is waiting.....')

con.wait()

else:

r = randint(1, 1000)

print('Produced:', r)

#产生新元素，添加至共享列表

x.append(r)

#唤醒等待条件的线程

con.notify()

#释放锁

con.release()

#自定义消费者线程类

class Consumer(threading.Thread):

def __init__(self, threadname):

threading.Thread.__init__(self, name =threadname)

def run(self):

global x

while True:

sleep(2)

#获取锁

con.acquire()

if not x:

#等待

print('Consumer is waiting.....')

con.wait()

else:

print('Consumed:', x.pop(0))

con.notify()

con.release()

#创建Condition对象以及生产者线程和消费者线程

con = threading.Condition()

x = []

Producer('Producer').start()

Consumer('Consumer').start()
