You should consider the powerful multiprocessing package. Have a look on this
piece of code:
import glob
import os
import multiprocessing as multi
import subprocess as sub
import time
NPROC = 4
Python = '/Library/Frameworks/EPD64.framework/Versions/Current/bin/python'
Xterm = '/usr/X11/bin/xterm '
coord = []
Size = '100x10'
XPos = 810
YPos = 170
XOffset = 0
YOffset = 0
for i in range(NPROC):
if i % 2 == 0:
coord.append(Size + '+' + str(YPos) + '+' + str(YOffset))
else:
coord.append(Size + '+' + str(XPos) + '+' + str(YOffset))
YOffset = YOffset + YPos
def CompareColourRef(Champ):
BaseChamp = os.path.basename(Champ)
NameProc = int(multi.current_process().name[-1]) - 1
print 'Processing', BaseChamp, 'on processor', NameProc+1
os.putenv('ADAM_USER', DirWrk + 'adam_' + str(NameProc+1))
Command = Xterm + '-geometry ' + '"' + coord[NameProc] + '" -T " Proc' +
str(NameProc+1) + ' ' + BaseChamp + ' ' + '" -e " ' + Python + ' ' + DirSrc + \
'CompareColourRef.py ' + BaseChamp + ' 2>&1 | tee ' + DirLog +
BaseChamp + '.log"'
Process = sub.Popen([Command], shell=True)
Process.wait()
print BaseChamp, 'processed on processor', NameProc+1
return
pool = multi.Pool(processes=NPROC)
Champs = glob.glob(DirImg + '*/*')
results = pool.map_async(CompareColourRef, Champs)
pool.close()
while results._number_left > 0:
print "Waiting for", results._number_left, 'tasks to complete'
time.sleep(15)
pool.join()
print 'Process completed'
exit(0)
Cheers
