使用共享变量进行通信。比如这样:

import multiprocessing


def worker(procnum, return_dict):
    """worker function"""
    print(str(procnum) + " represent!")
    return_dict[procnum] = procnum


if __name__ == "__main__":
    manager = multiprocessing.Manager()
    return_dict = manager.dict()
    jobs = []
    for i in range(5):
        p = multiprocessing.Process(target=worker, args=(i, return_dict))
        jobs.append(p)
        p.start()

    for proc in jobs:
        proc.join()
    print(return_dict.values())

使用共享变量进行通信。比如这样:

import multiprocessing


def worker(procnum, return_dict):
    """worker function"""
    print(str(procnum) + " represent!")
    return_dict[procnum] = procnum


if __name__ == "__main__":
    manager = multiprocessing.Manager()
    return_dict = manager.dict()
    jobs = []
    for i in range(5):
        p = multiprocessing.Process(target=worker, args=(i, return_dict))
        jobs.append(p)
        p.start()

    for proc in jobs:
        proc.join()
    print(return_dict.values())

这个例子展示了如何使用multiprocessing的列表。管道实例从任意数量的进程中返回字符串:

import multiprocessing

def worker(procnum, send_end):
    '''worker function'''
    result = str(procnum) + ' represent!'
    print result
    send_end.send(result)

def main():
    jobs = []
    pipe_list = []
    for i in range(5):
        recv_end, send_end = multiprocessing.Pipe(False)
        p = multiprocessing.Process(target=worker, args=(i, send_end))
        jobs.append(p)
        pipe_list.append(recv_end)
        p.start()

    for proc in jobs:
        proc.join()
    result_list = [x.recv() for x in pipe_list]
    print result_list

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

输出:

0 represent!
1 represent!
2 represent!
3 represent!
4 represent!
['0 represent!', '1 represent!', '2 represent!', '3 represent!', '4 represent!']

这种解决方案使用的资源比多进程少。使用

一个管道 至少一个锁 一个缓冲区 一个线程

或者多处理。SimpleQueue使用

一个管道 至少一个锁

查看这些类型的源代码是非常有指导意义的。

似乎应该使用多处理。使用.apply() .apply_async()， map()方法

http://docs.python.org/library/multiprocessing.html?highlight=pool#multiprocessing.pool.AsyncResult

pebble包有一个很好的利用多处理的抽象。管道，这使得这个非常简单:

from pebble import concurrent

@concurrent.process
def function(arg, kwarg=0):
    return arg + kwarg

future = function(1, kwarg=1)

print(future.result())

示例来自:https://pythonhosted.org/Pebble/#concurrent-decorators

你可以使用ProcessPoolExecutor从函数中获取一个返回值，如下所示:

from concurrent.futures import ProcessPoolExecutor

def test(num1, num2):
    return num1 + num2

with ProcessPoolExecutor() as executor:
    feature = executor.submit(test, 2, 3)
    print(feature.result()) # 5
