在J.F.Sebastian的回答中了解了itertools之后，我决定更进一步，编写一个关注并行化的parmap包，在Python 2.7和Python 3.2（以及更高版本）中提供可以接受任意数量位置参数的map和starmap函数。

安装

pip install parmap

如何并行化：

import parmap
# If you want to do:
y = [myfunction(x, argument1, argument2) for x in mylist]
# In parallel:
y = parmap.map(myfunction, mylist, argument1, argument2)

# If you want to do:
z = [myfunction(x, y, argument1, argument2) for (x,y) in mylist]
# In parallel:
z = parmap.starmap(myfunction, mylist, argument1, argument2)

# If you want to do:
listx = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
listy = [2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]
param = 3.14
param2 = 42
listz = []
for (x, y) in zip(listx, listy):
        listz.append(myfunction(x, y, param1, param2))
# In parallel:
listz = parmap.starmap(myfunction, zip(listx, listy), param1, param2)

我已经将parmap上传到PyPI和GitHub存储库。

例如，问题的答案如下：

import parmap

def harvester(case, text):
    X = case[0]
    text+ str(X)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    case = RAW_DATASET  # assuming this is an iterable
    parmap.map(harvester, case, "test", chunksize=1)

对于Python 2，可以使用此技巧

def fun(a, b):
    return a + b

pool = multiprocessing.Pool(processes=6)
b = 233
pool.map(lambda x:fun(x, b), range(1000))

这可能是另一种选择。技巧在于包装器函数，它返回传递给pool.map的另一个函数。下面的代码读取一个输入数组，对于其中的每个（唯一）元素，返回该元素在数组中出现的次数（即计数）。例如，如果输入是

np.eye(3) = [ [1. 0. 0.]
              [0. 1. 0.]
              [0. 0. 1.]]

然后零出现6次，一出现3次

import numpy as np
from multiprocessing.dummy import Pool as ThreadPool
from multiprocessing import cpu_count


def extract_counts(label_array):
    labels = np.unique(label_array)
    out = extract_counts_helper([label_array], labels)
    return out

def extract_counts_helper(args, labels):
    n = max(1, cpu_count() - 1)
    pool = ThreadPool(n)
    results = {}
    pool.map(wrapper(args, results), labels)
    pool.close()
    pool.join()
    return results

def wrapper(argsin, results):
    def inner_fun(label):
        label_array = argsin[0]
        counts = get_label_counts(label_array, label)
        results[label] = counts
    return inner_fun

def get_label_counts(label_array, label):
    return sum(label_array.flatten() == label)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    img = np.ones([2,2])
    out = extract_counts(img)
    print('input array: \n', img)
    print('label counts: ', out)
    print("========")
           
    img = np.eye(3)
    out = extract_counts(img)
    print('input array: \n', img)
    print('label counts: ', out)
    print("========")
    
    img = np.random.randint(5, size=(3, 3))
    out = extract_counts(img)
    print('input array: \n', img)
    print('label counts: ', out)
    print("========")

你应该得到：

input array: 
 [[1. 1.]
 [1. 1.]]
label counts:  {1.0: 4}
========
input array: 
 [[1. 0. 0.]
 [0. 1. 0.]
 [0. 0. 1.]]
label counts:  {0.0: 6, 1.0: 3}
========
input array: 
 [[4 4 0]
 [2 4 3]
 [2 3 1]]
label counts:  {0: 1, 1: 1, 2: 2, 3: 2, 4: 3}
========

将Python 3.3+与pool.starmap（）一起使用：

from multiprocessing.dummy import Pool as ThreadPool 

def write(i, x):
    print(i, "---", x)

a = ["1","2","3"]
b = ["4","5","6"] 

pool = ThreadPool(2)
pool.starmap(write, zip(a,b)) 
pool.close() 
pool.join()

结果：

1 --- 4
2 --- 5
3 --- 6

如果您喜欢，还可以zip（）更多参数：zip（a，b，c，d，e）

如果希望将常量值作为参数传递：

import itertools

zip(itertools.repeat(constant), a)

如果您的函数应该返回以下内容：

results = pool.starmap(write, zip(a,b))

这将提供一个包含返回值的列表。

text = "test"

def unpack(args):
    return args[0](*args[1:])

def harvester(text, case):
    X = case[0]
    text+ str(X)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    pool = multiprocessing.Pool(processes=6)
    case = RAW_DATASET
    # args is a list of tuples 
    # with the function to execute as the first item in each tuple
    args = [(harvester, text, c) for c in case]
    # doing it this way, we can pass any function
    # and we don't need to define a wrapper for each different function
    # if we need to use more than one
    pool.map(unpack, args)
    pool.close()
    pool.join()

另一种方法是将列表列表传递给单参数例程：

import os
from multiprocessing import Pool

def task(args):
    print "PID =", os.getpid(), ", arg1 =", args[0], ", arg2 =", args[1]

pool = Pool()

pool.map(task, [
        [1,2],
        [3,4],
        [5,6],
        [7,8]
    ])

然后可以用自己喜欢的方法构造一个参数列表。
