[issue5738] multiprocessing example wrong
Ask Solem a...@opera.com added the comment: Are we sure this fits the scope of multiprocessing? It's a nice feature, but such a long and complex example in the documentation is wrong IMHO, if this is something people need it should be implemented as a reusable solution, not as an example people copy and paste. -- nosy: +asksol ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue5738 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

In hindsight; I agree - this belongs in an addons module someplace outside the standard library. I'll remove it today - the one thing we are short on though is manager examples. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue5738 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Justin MacCallum justin.maccal...@me.com added the comment: I think this should either be fixed or removed from the documentation. It is very confusing as is. I have next to no idea what I'm doing, but I've attached a patch that allows this code to function, at least sort of. You can now create cluster and pool objects and run jobs using map or apply_async, for example. However, there are still problems with the shutdown of the pool. I would very much like to see this functionality working correctly and robustly. A distributed Pool class would be very useful in, e.g. scientific programming. -- keywords: +patch nosy: +jlmaccal Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file14602/mp_patch.diff ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue5738 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue5738] multiprocessing example wrong
New submission from Garrett Cooper yaneg...@gmail.com: The last example on the multiprocessing documentation page is clearly wrong. It references a lot of renamed / deprecated API's from processing that are no longer in multiprocessing. I'll try and come up with a comparable working example on all platforms (I use FreeBSD). -- assignee: georg.brandl components: Documentation messages: 85874 nosy: georg.brandl, yaneurabeya severity: normal status: open title: multiprocessing example wrong type: feature request versions: Python 2.6, Python 3.0 ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue5738 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Jesse Noller jnol...@gmail.com added the comment: Ugh, I thought that was cleaned up. Don't bother with FreeBSD, or any other BSDes. If you're willing to do it, just make it work on linux.

Garrett Cooper yaneg...@gmail.com added the comment: How about this? I'll do both :). I'm avoiding sync + semaphore stuff because it's still non-portable (Issue 3770 fun), even though I have a functioning copy of FreeBSD... but I do have a Mac, VMware fusion, etc, and I'll toss in a working example with Fedora 10. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue5738 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
