Background
It runs stuff in the background.
“An elegant decorator-based abstraction around Python 3’s concurrent.futures ThreadPoolExecutor class”
—Simon Willison
This module makes it stupidly simple to run things in the background of your application, be it a CLI app, or a web app.
Basic Usage
import time
import background
@background.task
def work():
# Do something expensive here.
time.sleep(10)
for _ in range(100):
work()Advanced Usage
import time
import background
# Use 40 background threads.
background.n = 40
@background.task
def work():
time.sleep(10)
return "Done!"
@background.callback
def work_callback(future):
print(future.result())
for _ in range(100):
