Sharing and releasing issues of python class variables under multi-threading

I was tricked by multi-threading recently. I didn’t realize that class variables are shared under multi-threading. Another thing is that I didn’t realize the memory release problem, which made me more tired.

1. Python class variables in multi-threading situation The ones below are shared

2. The release of python class variables in multi-threaded situations is incomplete

3. The part of the memory that python class variables have not released in multi-threaded situations can be reused

import threading
 import time
   
 class Test:
   
     cache = {}
       
     @classmethod
     def get_value(self, key):
         value = Test.cache.get(key, [])
         return len(value)
   
     @classmethod
     def store_value(self, key, value):
         if not Test.cache.has_key(key):
             Test.cache[key] = range(value)
         else:
             Test.cache[key].extend(range(value))
         return len(Test.cache[key])
   
     @classmethod
     def release_value(self, key):
         if Test.cache.has_key(key):
             Test.cache.pop(key)
         return True
   
     @classmethod
     def print_cache(self):
         print 'print_cache:'
         for key in Test.cache:
             print 'key: %d, value:%d' % (key, len(Test.cache[key]))
   
 def worker(number, value):
     key = number % 5
     print 'threading: %d, store_value: %d' % (number, Test.store_value(key, value))
     time.sleep(10)
     print 'threading: %d, release_value: %s' % (number, Test.release_value(key))
   
 if __name__ == '__main__':
     thread_num = 10
       
     thread_pool = []
     for i in range(thread_num):
         th = threading.Thread(target=worker,args=[i, 1000000])
         thread_pool.append(th)
         thread_pool[i].start()
   
     for thread in thread_pool:
         threading.Thread.join(thread)
       
     Test.print_cache()
     time.sleep(10)
       
     thread_pool = []
     for i in range(thread_num):
         th = threading.Thread(target=worker,args=[i, 100000])
         thread_pool.append(th)
         thread_pool[i].start()
   
     for thread in thread_pool:
         threading.Thread.join(thread)
       
     Test.print_cache()
     time.sleep(10)

Public Unless the data is read-only, do not use it as class member variables. First, it will be shared, and second, it will be difficult to release.
