unblocked 0.1.0

Simple and clean background tasks.

Unblocked

Unblocked is a simple wrapper around multiprocessing.Process, giving users a nicer API as well as task results.

I wrote Unblocked for educational purposes, but it is also suited for actual use. If you are interested in the story behind Unblocked you can read it on my blog

Installation

$ pip install unblocked

Example

In the following snippet, calling example starts a background process and returns an unblocked.Result instance. This result can be retrieved with unblocked.Result.get

import unblocked

@unblocked.task
def example():
    return 5 * 5

if __name__ == "__main__":
    result = example()
    print(result.get(timeout=1))
