Threading and multiprocessing eye-candy.
Project description
Description
Pebble provides a neat API to manage threads and processes within an application.
Examples
Spawn a function within a thread:
from pebble import thread def function(foo, bar=0): print foo + bar thrd = thread.spawn(target=function, args=[1], kwargs={'bar':2}) thrd.join()
Most of the functions work as well as decorators:
from pebble import process @process.spawn(daemon=True) def function(foo, bar=0): print(foo + bar) proc = function(1, bar=2) proc.join()
Run a job in a separate process and wait for its results:
from pebble import process @process.concurrent def function(foo, bar=0): return foo + bar task = function(1, bar=2) results = task.get() # blocks until results are ready
Pools allow to execute several tasks without the need of spawning a new worker for each one of them:
from threading import current_thread from pebble import thread def task_done(task): results, thread_id = task.get() print "Task %s returned %d from thread %s" % (task.id, results, thread_id) def do_job(foo, bar=0): return foo + bar, current_thread().ident with thread.Pool(workers=5) as pool: for i in range(0, 10): pool.schedule(do_job, args=(i, ), callback=task_done)
Check the documentation for more examples.
Pebble 4:
use Futures instead of Tasks
move callback and timeout assignments to Futures
merge with concurrent.futures and asyncio modules API
