Multiprocessing on Python 3 Jupyter

@Konate’s answer really helped me. Here is a simplified version using multiprocessing.pool: import multiprocessing def double(a): return a * 2 def driver_func(): PROCESSES = 4 with multiprocessing.Pool(PROCESSES) as pool: params = [(1, ), (2, ), (3, ), (4, )] results = [pool.apply_async(double, p) for p in params] for r in results: print(‘\t’, r.get()) driver_func()

cx-freeze, runpy and multiprocessing – multiple paths to failure

I’m not sure if this is your problem… but I was using the Anaconda distribution, and cx_freeze was not properly gathering the .dll’s that I needed for my project. The solution was to: Install a plane version of Python make an environment with the packages that I … Read more

Dumping a multiprocessing.Queue into a list

Try this: import Queue import time def dump_queue(queue): “”” Empties all pending items in a queue and returns them in a list. “”” result = [] for i in iter(queue.get, ‘STOP’): result.append(i) time.sleep(.1) return result import multiprocessing q = multiprocessing.Queue() for i in range(100): q.put([range(200) for j in range(100)]) q.put(‘STOP’) l=dump_queue(q) print len(l) Multiprocessing queues … Read more
