Package entropy :: Module misc :: Class ParallelTask

Class ParallelTask

Multithreading class that wraps Python threading.Thread. Specifically, this class makes possible to easily execute a function on a separate thread.

Python threads can't be stopped, paused or more generically arbitrarily controlled.

>>> from entropy.misc import ParallelTask
>>> parallel = ParallelTask(print, "hello world", 123)
>>> parallel.start()
hello world 123
>>> parallel.kill()

Instance Methods

__init__(self, *args, **kwargs)
ParallelTask constructor

source code

run(self)
This method is called automatically when start() is called.

source code

Python callable object

get_function(self)
Return the function passed to constructor that is going to be executed.

source code

Python object

get_rc(self)
Return result of the last parallel function call passed to constructor.

source code

Inherited from threading.Thread: __repr__, getName, isAlive, isDaemon, join, setDaemon, setName, start

Inherited from object: __delattr__, __getattribute__, __hash__, __new__, __reduce__, __reduce_ex__, __setattr__, __str__

Properties
Inherited from `object`: `__class__`
