multipipe 0.1.0

A Python utility for multiprocessing pipelines

⚡️ Introduction

multipipe is a Python utility that allows you to create pipelines of functions to execute on any given iterable (e.g., lists, generators) by leveraging multiprocessing. multipipe is built on top of multiprocess.

🔌 Requirements

python>=3.8

💾 Installation

pip install multipipe

💡 Examples

Basic usage

from multipipe import Multipipe

def add(x):
    return x + 1

def mul(x):
    return x * 2

pipe = Multipipe([ add, mul ])
pipe(range(10))

Output:

[ 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19 ]

Using partials

Sometimes, you may want to use partials to pass arguments to your functions.

from multipipe import Multipipe
from functools import partial

def add(x, y):
    return x + y

def mul(x, y):
    return x * y

pipe = Multipipe([ partial(add, y=1), partial(mul, y=2) ])
pipe(range(10))

Output:

[ 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19 ]

Complex IO pipeline

In this example, we lazily read data from a JSONl file, execute a pipeline of functions lazily, and write the results to a new JSONl file. In practice, this allows you to process huge files without loading their content into memory all-at-once.

from multipipe import Multipipe
from unified_io import read_jsonl, write_jsonl

# Create a pipeline of functions
pipe = Multipipe([ ... ])

# Read a JSONl file line-by-line as a generator, i.e., lazily
in_data = read_jsonl("path/to/input/file.jsonl", generator=True)

# This is still a generator.
# The pipeline will be executed lazily.
out_data = pipe(in_data, generator=True)

# Write a JSONl file from the generator executing the pipeline
write_jsonl(out_data, "path/to/output/file.jsonl")
