bfg-maputil 0.2.5

A map utility function that caches results in case of failures and reruns, processes pandas Series, and supports parallelization

maputil

A powerful map function that improves on Python's built-in map function by adding caching and support for both lists and pandas Series.

Features

• Caches results in a SQLite database to avoid recomputing values if the code fails or reruns
• Works with both Python lists and pandas Series
• Preserves Series indexes in the output, making it easy to add results as a new column in a DataFrame
• Supports concurrent execution with multiple threads
• Optional progress bar

Example

from maputil import map

# With a pandas Series
inputs = pd.Series([1, 2, 3, 4, 5], index=["a", "b", "c", "d", "e"])

def f(x):
    return x * 2

outputs = map(f, inputs, run="demo")

Usage

The map() function requires a run parameter to identify cached results. For the same run name, the function will use cached results for inputs it has seen before.

Optional parameters:

• concurrency: Number of threads to use for parallel execution
• progress: Set to True to display a progress bar
