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

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

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。

如果你正在使用Python 3，你可以使用concurrent.futures.ProcessPoolExecutor作为一个方便的抽象:

from concurrent.futures import ProcessPoolExecutor

def worker(procnum):
    '''worker function'''
    print(str(procnum) + ' represent!')
    return procnum


if __name__ == '__main__':
    with ProcessPoolExecutor() as executor:
        print(list(executor.map(worker, range(5))))

输出:

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

一个简单的解决方案:

import multiprocessing

output=[]
data = range(0,10)

def f(x):
    return x**2

def handler():
    p = multiprocessing.Pool(64)
    r=p.map(f, data)
    return r

if __name__ == '__main__':
    output.append(handler())

print(output[0])

输出:

[0, 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81]

对于正在寻找如何使用Queue从进程中获取值的任何人:

import multiprocessing

ret = {'foo': False}

def worker(queue):
    ret = queue.get()
    ret['foo'] = True
    queue.put(ret)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    queue = multiprocessing.Queue()
    queue.put(ret)
    p = multiprocessing.Process(target=worker, args=(queue,))
    p.start()
    p.join()
    print(queue.get())  # Prints {"foo": True}

注意，在Windows或Jupyter Notebook中，使用多线程，您必须将其保存为文件并执行该文件。如果你在命令提示符中这样做，你会看到这样的错误:

 AttributeError: Can't get attribute 'worker' on <module '__main__' (built-in)>
