Dear List, I have a strange problem on python 3.6.1
I am using the multiprocessing function to parallelize an expensive operation, using the multiprocessing.Pool() and Pool.map() functions. The function I am passing to map calls a function in another file within the same model. And that file has a from .some_file_in_the_package import * line at the top. However, in each function called in that file, I seem to need to put an explicit important statement buried within the function in order for the code to work: def some_function(): from .some_file_in_the_package import ThisObject It is as if in the worker processes created by Pool.map() the from . import * directive is being completely ignored. With the explicit import statements everything works as expected. What could be going wrong? Best wishes, Nicholas -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
