New submission from noxdafox: As a developer I want the multiprocessing Pool class to expose the internal queue size limit in order to better control the task flow in my application.
Consider the following scenarios: 1. The tasks I want to run into the pool require a considerably big amount of data as input (a big XML string for example). A limitless queue and a high number of tasks would cause my application to consume a huge amount of memory, this is unacceptable. 2. I want to always ensure a small amount of tasks queued into the pool so that, if my application crashes, I won't loose much data. Patch includes code changes, tests and documentation. ---------- components: Library (Lib) files: maxqueuesize.patch keywords: patch messages: 198992 nosy: noxdafox priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Expose Queue maxsize parameter to multiprocessing.Pool class type: enhancement versions: Python 3.4 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file31967/maxqueuesize.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19173> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
