如何同时运行多个发布者 paho-mqtt？

Question

我正在运行一个脚本，其中有多个客户端发布到同一主题，每个客户端有 5 条消息，但它们一个接一个地执行。 我想知道是否有任何方法可以同时执行多个发布者而不是循环“for”，因为我对它进行了编程。

我想到运行各种 python 脚本，但如果我想要例如 100 个发布者，它就不起作用。 任何人都知道我该怎么做？ 提前致谢

import ssl
import time 
import random
import sys  
import paho.mqtt.publish as publish
import paho.mqtt.client as mqtt
from datetime import datetime

broker_address = '127.0.0.1'
topic = "casa/hab1"
port=1883
delay=0.2
count=0
i=0
j=0
nclients=1
nmessages=5


for i in range(nclients):
  cname="Client"+str(i) 
  j=int(time.time()) #eliminar la parte decimal
  j=str(j)
  client_id=cname+str(j)+"_" #generar client_id
  client=mqtt.Client(client_id) 
  client.connect(broker_address)  
  print("")

  print(str(client_id))
  client.loop_start() 

  for count in range(nmessages):
     b=random.randrange(10, 99, 1)
     mensaje="Hello World:"+ str(b)+" -- "
     client.publish(topic,mensaje, 2, retain=False) 
     now=datetime.now().strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%f")
     print("timestamp "+str(count)+" = "+now)
     
     count+=1
     time.sleep(delay)

  i+=1

通常要同时运行多个函数，您需要使用threading或多multiprocessing来在单独的thread / process运行每个函数。

但是client.loop_start()已经运行thread所以你可以先创建许多客户端，

all_clients = []

for i in range(nclients):
    t = int(time.time())

    client_id= "Client_{}_{}_".format(i, t) 
    print('create:', client_id)
    
    client = mqtt.Client(client_id) 
    client.connect(broker_address)  
    client.loop_start() 

    all_clients.append([client_id, client])

然后在循环中使用它们发送消息

for count in range(nmessages):

    for client_id, client in all_clients: 
        b = random.randrange(10, 99, 1)
        mensaje = "Hello World: {} -- ".format(b)
        client.publish(topic, mensaje, 2, retain=False) 
        now = datetime.now().strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%f")
        print('client:', client_id, '| count:', count, "=", now)

    time.sleep(delay)

它几乎会在同一时间（+- 0.01 秒）发送，但是在单独的thread / process运行每个client将更难以如此小的延迟运行消息。

import time 
import random
import paho.mqtt.publish as publish
import paho.mqtt.client as mqtt
from datetime import datetime

broker_address = '127.0.0.1'
#broker_address = '192.168.1.91'

topic = "casa/hab1"
delay = 0.2

nclients = 3
nmessages = 5

# --- first create all clients ----

all_clients = []
for i in range(nclients):
    t = int(time.time())

    client_id= "Client_{}_{}_".format(i, t) 
    print('create:', client_id)
    
    client = mqtt.Client(client_id) 
    client.connect(broker_address)  
    client.loop_start() 

    all_clients.append([client_id, client])

# ---

print()

# --- loop ---

for count in range(nmessages):

    for client_id, client in all_clients: 
        b = random.randrange(10, 99, 1)
        mensaje = "Hello World: {} -- ".format(b)
        client.publish(topic, mensaje, 2, retain=False) 
        now = datetime.now().strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%f")
        print('client:', client_id, '| count:', count, "=", now)

    time.sleep(delay)

结果：

create: Client_0_1600159539_
create: Client_1_1600159539_
create: Client_2_1600159539_

client: Client_0_1600159539_ | count: 0 = 2020-09-15 10:45:39.125615
client: Client_1_1600159539_ | count: 0 = 2020-09-15 10:45:39.126737
client: Client_2_1600159539_ | count: 0 = 2020-09-15 10:45:39.128049
client: Client_0_1600159539_ | count: 1 = 2020-09-15 10:45:39.329731
client: Client_1_1600159539_ | count: 1 = 2020-09-15 10:45:39.330702
client: Client_2_1600159539_ | count: 1 = 2020-09-15 10:45:39.332028
client: Client_0_1600159539_ | count: 2 = 2020-09-15 10:45:39.533360
client: Client_1_1600159539_ | count: 2 = 2020-09-15 10:45:39.534323
client: Client_2_1600159539_ | count: 2 = 2020-09-15 10:45:39.535380
client: Client_0_1600159539_ | count: 3 = 2020-09-15 10:45:39.737049
client: Client_1_1600159539_ | count: 3 = 2020-09-15 10:45:39.738118
client: Client_2_1600159539_ | count: 3 = 2020-09-15 10:45:39.739249
client: Client_0_1600159539_ | count: 4 = 2020-09-15 10:45:39.941419

编辑：

使用threading相同。

在此版本中，您可以在每个client使用随机delay来使所有流量更加随机。

import time 
import random
import paho.mqtt.publish as publish
import paho.mqtt.client as mqtt
from datetime import datetime
import threading

broker_address = '127.0.0.1'
#broker_address = '192.168.1.91'

topic = "casa/hab1"
delay = 0.2

nclients = 3
nmessages = 5

# --- functions ---

def sending(client, client_id):

    for count in range(nmessages):

        b = random.randrange(10, 99, 1)
        mensaje = "Hello World: {} -- ".format(b)
        client.publish(topic, mensaje, 2, retain=False) 
        now = datetime.now().strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%f")
        print('client: {} | count: {} = {}'.format(client_id, count, now))
        #delay = random.randint(1, 5) / 10

        time.sleep(delay)

# --- first create all clients ----

all_clients = []
for i in range(nclients):
    t = int(time.time())

    client_id= "Client_{}_{}_".format(i, t) 
    print('create:', client_id)
    
    client = mqtt.Client(client_id) 
    client.connect(broker_address)  
    client.loop_start() 

    all_clients.append([client_id, client])

# ---

print()

# --- threads ---

all_threads = []

# start threads
for client_id, client in all_clients:
    t = threading.Thread(target=sending, args=(client, client_id))
    t.start()
    all_threads.append(t)
    
# ... other code ...

# at the end wait for end of threads
for t in all_threads:
    t.join()
