New submission from Terry J. Reedy <tjre...@udel.edu>:
Quoting the PR: Proposing a new kwarg in the __init__() method of multiprocessing.Pool named expect_initret. This kwarg defaults to False. When set to True, the return value of the initializer function is passed to the function we are applying (i.e. func in Pool.map(func, ls)), as a kwarg named initret. This PR includes thorough test coverage, and provides backwards compatibility (at least in Python3.x). See blog post https://thelaziestprogrammer.com/python/multiprocessing-pool-expect-initret-proposal for example use cases, as well as an initial defense for why this makes the multiprocessing.Pool API more approachable, to more Python end-users, and augments the library. ---------- nosy: +davin, pitrou, terry.reedy _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue34837> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
