Message 91071 - Python tracker (original) (raw)

I think this should either be fixed or removed from the documentation. It is very confusing as is. I have next to no idea what I'm doing, but I've attached a patch that allows this code to function, at least sort of. You can now create cluster and pool objects and run jobs using map or apply_async, for example. However, there are still problems with the shutdown of the pool.

I would very much like to see this functionality working correctly and robustly. A distributed Pool class would be very useful in, e.g. scientific programming.
