New submission from andrew cooke <and...@acooke.org>: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7306522/combining-itertools-and-multiprocessing/7307078 suggests (and the idea itself seems reasonable) that it would sometimes be useful for multiprocessing to operate correctly (ie lazily) with lazy input (iterables). for example, if the input is large, or perhaps generated by some other process "on demand".
obviously this complicates matters, given the asynchronous nature of a worker pool, and would mean re-allocating the results list as required. but in principle i suspect it would be possible and might be a useful extension. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 143511 nosy: acooke priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Support for iterators in multiprocessing map type: feature request versions: Python 3.4 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12897> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
