Re: [Python-Dev] bpo-34837: Multiprocessing.Pool API Extension - Pass Data to Workers w/o Globals

Starmap will serialize/deserialize the “big object” once for each task created, so this is not performant. The goal is to pay the “one time cost” of serialization of the “big object”, and still pass this object to func at each iteration. On Thu, Oct 4, 2018 at 4:14 AM Michael Selik wrote: > You d

You don't like using Pool.starmap and itertools.repeat or a comprehension that repeats an object? On Wed, Oct 3, 2018, 6:30 PM Sean Harrington wrote: > Hi guys - > > The solution to "lazily initialize" an expensive object in the worker > process (i.e. via @lru_cache) is a great solution (that I

[Python-Dev] AIX to stable, what does that take?

In the buildbots AIX is marked as "unstable"? What is needed to get it marked as a "stable" platform - that being one of my short-term goals. My assumption is that it needs to (at least) pass all tests - and that is why I keep asking for attention. All the PRs to fix individual tests mean less if
