如何处理子批次的异步作业?

标签: python subprocess

我有一组异步作业(大约100个),我希望每个作业使用subprocess.popen批量运行五个。我的计划是:

  1. 执行作业列表中的前五个作业
  2. 每分钟左右轮询活动作业(每个作业需要几分钟才能运行)
  3. 如果工作完成,请执行下一个工作,始终保证我们一次运行五个工作
  4. 继续,直到我们完成整个职位列表
  5. 在python中有没有已知的模式?

答案 0 :(得分:2)

在Python 2中,我使用了multiprocessing.Poolsubprocess的组合。但是这确实会以池的进程形式产生额外的开销。

所以在Python 3中我使用concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor而不是multiprocessing.pool;

下面的代码片段显示了如何使用ThreadPoolExecutor;

import concurrent.futures as cf
import logging
import os

errmsg = 'conversion of track {} failed, return code {}'
okmsg = 'finished track {}, "{}"'
num = len(data['tracks'])
with cf.ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=os.cpu_count()) as tp:
    fl = [tp.submit(runflac, t, data) for t in range(num)]
    for fut in cf.as_completed(fl):
        idx, rv = fut.result()
        if rv == 0:
            logging.info(okmsg.format(idx+1, data['tracks'][idx]))
        else:
            logging.error(errmsg.format(idx+1, rv))

runflac功能使用subprocess来呼叫flac(1)转换音乐文件:

import subprocess

def runflac(idx, data):
    """Use the flac(1) program to convert a music file to FLAC format.

    Arguments:
        idx: track index (starts from 0)
        data: album data dictionary

    Returns:
        A tuple containing the track index and return value of flac.
    """
    num = idx + 1
    ifn = 'track{:02d}.cdda.wav'.format(num)
    args = ['flac', '--best', '--totally-silent',
            '-TARTIST=' + data['artist'], '-TALBUM=' + data['title'],
            '-TTITLE=' + data['tracks'][idx],
            '-TDATE={}'.format(data['year']),
            '-TGENRE={}'.format(data['genre']),
            '-TTRACKNUM={:02d}'.format(num), '-o',
            'track{:02d}.flac'.format(num), ifn]
    rv = subprocess.call(args, stdout=subprocess.DEVNULL,
                        stderr=subprocess.DEVNULL)
    return (idx, rv)

在Python 2.7中,还有一种技术略微复杂,但避免了使用多处理池的开销。

基本形式是:

starter = functools.partial(startencoder, crf=args.crf, preset=args.preset)
procs = []
maxprocs = cpu_count()
for ifile in args.files:
    while len(procs) == maxprocs:
        manageprocs(procs)
    procs.append(starter(ifile))
while len(procs) > 0:
    manageprocs(procs)

(使用functools.partial是一种为函数设置默认参数的方法。它与原理无关。)startencoder函数基本上是subprocess.Popen的包装,但它返回除Popen实例之外的一些额外信息;

def startencoder(fname, crf, preset):
    """
    Use ffmpeg to convert a video file to H.264/AAC streams in an MP4
    container.

    Arguments:
        fname: Name of the file to convert.
        crf: Constant rate factor. See ffmpeg docs.
        preset: Encoding preset. See ffmpeg docs.

    Returns:
        A 3-tuple of a Process, input path and output path.
    """
    basename, ext = os.path.splitext(fname)
    known = ['.mp4', '.avi', '.wmv', '.flv', '.mpg', '.mpeg', '.mov', '.ogv',
            '.mkv', '.webm']
    if ext.lower() not in known:
        ls = "File {} has unknown extension, ignoring it.".format(fname)
        logging.warning(ls)
        return (None, fname, None)
    ofn = basename + '.mp4'
    args = ['ffmpeg', '-i', fname, '-c:v', 'libx264', '-crf', str(crf),
            '-preset', preset, '-flags',  '+aic+mv4', '-c:a', 'libfaac',
            '-sn', '-y', ofn]
    try:
        p = subprocess.Popen(args, stdout=subprocess.DEVNULL,
                            stderr=subprocess.DEVNULL)
        logging.info("Conversion of {} to {} started.".format(fname, ofn))
    except:
        logging.error("Starting conversion of {} failed.".format(fname))
    return (p, fname, ofn)

重要的是manageprocs功能:

def manageprocs(proclist):
    """
    Check a list of subprocesses tuples for processes that have ended and
    remove them from the list.

    Arguments:
        proclist: a list of (process, input filename, output filename)
                tuples.
    """
    nr = '# of conversions running: {}\r'.format(len(proclist))
    logging.info(nr)
    sys.stdout.flush()
    for p in proclist:
        pr, ifn, ofn = p
        if pr is None:
            proclist.remove(p)
        elif pr.poll() is not None:
            logging.info('Conversion of {} to {} finished.'.format(ifn, ofn))
            proclist.remove(p)
    sleep(0.5)
