Each Job is associated with an ApplyResult object which has 2 # states: waiting for the Job to complete, or Ready. Instead of # waiting for the jobs to finish, we wait for their ApplyResult object # to become ready: an event mechanism is used for that. # When we apply a function to several arguments in "parallel", we need # a way to wait for all/part of the Jobs to be processed: that's what # "collectors" are for; they group and wait for a set of ApplyResult # objects. Once a collector is ready to be used, we can use a # CollectorIterator to iterate over the result values it's collecting. # # The methods of a Pool object use all these concepts and expose # them to their caller in a very simple way. import sys, threading, Queue, traceback ## Item pushed on the work queue to tell the worker threads to terminate SENTINEL = "QUIT" def is_sentinel(obj): """Predicate to determine whether an item from the queue is the signal to stop""" return type(obj) is str and obj == SENTINEL class TimeoutError(Exception): """Raised when a result is not available within the given timeout""" pass class PoolWorker(threading.Thread): """Thread that consumes WorkUnits from a queue to process them""" def __init__(self, workq, *args, **kwds): """\param workq: Queue object to consume the work units from""" threading.Thread.__init__(self, *args, **kwds) self._workq = workq def run(self): """Process the work unit, or wait for sentinel to exit""" while 1: workunit = self._workq.get() if is_sentinel(workunit): # Got sentinel break # Run the job / sequence workunit.process() class Pool(object): """ The Pool class represents a pool of worker threads.
