New submission from Nick Coghlan:
Currently, concurrent.futures requires you to explicitly create and manage the
lifecycle of a dedicated executor to handle multithreaded and multiprocess
dispatch of concurrent activities.
It may be beneficial to provide module level tmap(), pmap(), tsubmit() and
psubmit() APIs that use a default ThreadExecutor and/or ProcessExecutor
instance to provide concurrent execution, with reasonable default settings for
the underlying thread & process pools.
(Longer names like map_thread, and map_process would also be possible, but tmap
& pmap are much easier to type and seem sufficient for mnemonic purposes)
This would allow usage like:
done, not_done = wait(tmap(func, data))
and:
for f in as_completed(tmap(func, data)):
result = f.result()
Ways to explicitly set and get the default thread and process pools would also
need to be provided, perhaps based on the design of the event loop management
interface in the asyncio module.
