Pypeln
Pypeln (pronounced as "pypeline") is a simple yet powerful python library for creating concurrent data pipelines.
Main Features
- Simple: Pypeln was designed to solve medium data tasks that require parallelism and concurrency where using frameworks like Spark or Dask feels exaggerated or unnatural.
- Easy-to-use: Pypeln exposes a familiar functional API compatible with regular Python code.
- Flexible: Pypeln enables you to build pipelines using Processes, Threads and asyncio.Tasks via the exact same API.
- Fine-grained Control: Pypeln allows you to have control over the memory and cpu resources used at each stage of your pipelines.
Installation
Install Pypeln using pip:
pip install pypeln
Basic Usage
With Pypeln you can easily create multi-stage data pipelines using 3 type of workers:
Processes
You can create a pipeline based on multiprocessing.Process workers by using the process
module:
import pypeln as pl
import time
from random import random
def slow_add1(x):
time.sleep(random()) # <= some slow computation
return x + 1
def slow_gt3(x):
time.sleep(random()) # <= some slow computation
return x > 3
data = range(10) # [0, 1, 2, ..., 9]
stage = pl.process.map(slow_add1, data, workers = 3, maxsize = 4)
stage = pl.process.filter(slow_gt3, stage, workers = 2)
data = list(stage) # e.g. [5, 6, 9, 4, 8, 10, 7]
At each stage the you can specify the numbers of workers
. The maxsize
parameter limits the maximum amount of elements that the stage can hold simultaneously.
Threads
You can create a pipeline based on threading.Thread workers by using the thread
module:
import pypeln as pl
import time
from random import random
def slow_add1(x):
time.sleep(random()) # <= some slow computation
return x + 1
def slow_gt3(x):
time.sleep(random()) # <= some slow computation
return x > 3
data = range(10) # [0, 1, 2, ..., 9]
stage = pl.thread.map(slow_add1, data, workers = 3, maxsize = 4)
stage = pl.thread.filter(slow_gt3, stage, workers = 2)
data = list(stage) # e.g. [5, 6, 9, 4, 8, 10, 7]
Here we have the exact same situation as in the previous case except that the worker are Threads.
Tasks
You can create a pipeline based on asyncio.Task workers by using the task
module:
import pypeln as pl
import asyncio
from random import random
async def slow_add1(x):
await asyncio.sleep(random()) # <= some slow computation
return x + 1
async def slow_gt3(x):
await asyncio.sleep(random()) # <= some slow computation
return x > 3
data = range(10) # [0, 1, 2, ..., 9]
stage = pl.task.map(slow_add1, data, workers = 3, maxsize = 4)
stage = pl.task.filter(slow_gt3, stage, workers = 2)
data = list(stage) # e.g. [5, 6, 9, 4, 8, 10, 7]
Conceptually similar but everything is running in a single thread and Task workers are created dynamically.
Mixed Pipelines
You can create pipelines using different worker types such that each type is the best for its given task so you can get the maximum performance out of your code:
data = get_iterable()
data = pl.task.map(f1, data, workers = 100)
data = pl.thread.flat_map(f2, data, workers = 10)
data = filter(f3, data)
data = pl.process.map(f4, data, workers = 5, maxsize = 200)
Notice that here we even used a regular python filter
, since stages are iterables Pypeln integrates smoothly with any python code, just be aware of how each stage behaves.
Pipe Operator
In the spirit of being a true pipeline library, Pypeln also lets you create your pipelines using the pipe |
operator:
data = (
range(10)
| pl.process.map(slow_add1, workers = 3, maxsize = 4)
| pl.process.filter(slow_gt3, workers = 2)
| list
)
