我有一个应用程序,每隔几分钟轮询一堆服务器.为此,它为每个服务器生成一个线程进行轮询(15个服务器)并将数据写回到对象：

import requests

class ServerResults(object):
    def __init__(self):
        self.results = []

    def add_server(some_argument):
        self.results.append(some_argument)

servers = ['1.1.1.1','1.1.1.2']
results = ServerResults()

for s in servers:
    t = CallThreads(poll_server,s,results)
    t.daemon = True
    t.start()

def poll_server(server,results):
    response = requests.get(server,timeout=10)
    results.add_server(response.status_code);

CallThreads类是一个调用函数的辅助函数(在本例中是带参数的poll_server()(在本例中是s和结果),你可以看到我的Github repo为Python utility functions的源代码.大多数时候这个工作正常,但是有时一个线程间歇性地挂起.我不知道为什么,因为我在GET请求上使用了超时.无论如何,如果线程挂起,则挂起的线程会在数小时或数天内累积,然后Python崩溃：

  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/threading.py",line 495,in start
    _start_new_thread(self.__bootstrap,())
thread.error: can't start new thread

Exception in thread Thread-575 (most likely raised during interpreter shutdown)
Exception in thread Thread-1671 (most likely raised during interpreter shutdown)
Exception in thread Thread-831 (most likely raised during interpreter shutdown)

我怎么处理这个？似乎没有办法到0781 a blocking thread in Python.这个应用程序需要在Raspberry Pi上运行,所以像twisted这样的大型库不适合,实际上我也需要摆脱requests库！
