Richard Oudkerk <shibt...@gmail.com> added the comment: If you want lazy operation then you should use imap(f, it[, chunksize]) rather than using map_async(f, it).
This will return an iterator rather than a list. Also, the iterator's next() method has a timeout argument. (chunksize is the number of items which get sent to a worker in each batch, with 1 being the default.) ---------- nosy: +sbt _______________________________________ 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
