是否有可能对在Python中返回某些内容的函数进行多处理?

标签: python multiprocessing

在Python中,我看到了许多调用多处理的例子,但目标只是打印一些东西。我有一个场景,目标返回2个变量,我需要稍后使用。例如:

def foo(some args):
   a = someObject
   b = someObject
   return a,b

p1=multiprocess(target=foo,args(some args))
p2=multiprocess(target=foo,args(some args))
p3=multiprocess(target=foo,args(some args))

现在怎样?我可以.start和.join,但我如何检索单个结果?我需要为我执行的所有工作捕获返回a,b,然后继续工作。

您希望使用多个流程执行一些令人尴尬的并行工作...那么为什么不使用PoolPool将负责启动流程,检索结果并将结果返回给您。 在这里,我使用pathos,它具有multiprocessing的分支,因为它比标准库提供的版本具有更好的序列化。

>>> from pathos.multiprocessing import ProcessingPool as Pool
>>> 
>>> def foo(obj1, obj2):
...   a = obj1.x**2
...   b = obj2.x**2
...   return a,b
... 
>>> class Bar(object):
...   def __init__(self, x):
...     self.x = x
... 
>>> res = Pool().map(foo, [Bar(1),Bar(2),Bar(3)], [Bar(4),Bar(5),Bar(6)])
>>> res
[(1, 16), (4, 25), (9, 36)]

你看到foo接受两个参数,并返回一个由两个对象组成的元组。 map Pool方法将foo提交给基础流程,并将结果返回为res

是的,当然 - 您可以使用多种方法。其中一个最简单的是共享Queue。请在此处查看示例:http://eli.thegreenplace.net/2012/01/16/python-parallelizing-cpu-bound-tasks-with-multiprocessing/

我正在直接从文档中复制此示例,因为我无法为您提供直接链接。请注意,它打印出done_queue的结果,但你可以用它做任何你想做的事。

#
# Simple example which uses a pool of workers to carry out some tasks.
#
# Notice that the results will probably not come out of the output
# queue in the same in the same order as the corresponding tasks were
# put on the input queue.  If it is important to get the results back
# in the original order then consider using `Pool.map()` or
# `Pool.imap()` (which will save on the amount of code needed anyway).

它不能在Windows上运行,但这里是我的多处理函数装饰器,它返回一个队列,你可以轮询并从

收集返回的数据
import os
from Queue import Queue
from multiprocessing import Process

def returning_wrapper(func, *args, **kwargs):
    queue = kwargs.get("multiprocess_returnable")
    del kwargs["multiprocess_returnable"]
    queue.put(func(*args, **kwargs))

class Multiprocess(object):
    """Cute decorator to run a function in multiple processes."""
    def __init__(self, func):
        self.func = func
        self.processes = []

    def __call__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        num_processes = kwargs.get("multiprocess_num_processes", 2) # default to two processes.
        return_obj = kwargs.get("multiprocess_returnable", Queue()) # default to stdlib Queue
        kwargs["multiprocess_returnable"] = return_obj
        for i in xrange(num_processes):
            pro = Process(target=returning_wrapper, args=tuple([self.func] + list(args)), kwargs=kwargs)
            self.processes.append(pro)
            pro.start()
        return return_obj


@Multiprocess
def info():
    print 'module name:', __name__
    print 'parent process:', os.getppid()
    print 'process id:', os.getpid()
    return 4 * 22

data = info()
print data.get(False)

为什么没有人使用multiprocessing.Pool?

示例:

from multiprocessing import Pool
from contextlib import contextmanager

from pprint import pprint
from requests import get as get_page

@contextmanager
def _terminating(thing):
    try:
        yield thing
    finally:
        thing.terminate()

def _callback(*args, **kwargs):
    print("CALBACK")
    pprint(args)
    pprint(kwargs)

print("Processing...")
with _terminating(Pool(processes=WORKERS)) as pool:
    results = pool.map_async(get_page, URLS, callback=_callback)

    start_time = time.time()
    results.wait()
    end_time = time.time()
    print("Time for Processing: %ssecs" % (end_time - start_time))

在这里,我打印了args和kwargs。但您可以通过以下方式替换回拨

def _callback2(responses):
    for r in responses:
        print(r.status_code) # or do whatever with response...
