class AlloViz.AlloViz.utils.dummypool

Bases: object

Class to mimic a process Pool when only using 1 core (synchronous)

This class aims to be able to be used with the same syntax as a multiprocess(ing) Pool managed through apply_async. Instead of running the tasks sent with the method asynchronously, if the pool is an instance of this class they will run synchronously in each call to the method.

Methods

apply_async(function[, args, callback])	Execute the function with the passed args
close()	Empty function
join()	Empty function

Notes

Using a multiprocess(ing) Pool initialized with 1 core would have the same effect in terms of resource consumption, but this way the tasks are run in the main namespace instead of on a pickled copy, which is useful for debugging, i.e., getting the stdout and stderr immediately.
