Thanks for the reply.

The code snippet given by Peter is not very clear

I would like to multiprocess a function which is written in python of the form 
bar(**kwargs) which returns a value.  This example does not return anything

Would you please use my example for the map function?

I appreciate your help,

I'm honestly not totally sure what you want to do. However, say you want to do the following (btw this is basically what Dennis said i nhis last email, but maybe I can help clarify):

        kwargs = {'param1': val1, 'param2': val2})

Then you'd like to have the following two operations performed in separate processes:

        bar(param1=val1)
        bar(param2=val2)

In that case, I guess I would do something like the following. First define bar_wrapper as follows (*I haven't tested any code here!):

def bar_wrapper(pair):
        key, val = pair
        return bar(**{key: val})

Then I would probably do something like

map(bar_wrapper, kwargs.items())

I.e. basically what I'm doing is taking the key-val pairs and producing a list of them (as tuples). This is something that you can apply map too, but not with the original function. So then the wrapper function converts the tuple back to what you want originally.

Hopefully I'm understanding correctly and hopefully this helps.

Cheers,
Thomas
