When using pool.imap to apply a function over a list of values, what is the proper way to pass additional arguments to the function, specifically in my case a Queue that the process can use to communicate back to the main thread (for the purpose of reporting progress)? I have seen suggestions of using starmap, but this doesn’t appear to have a “lazy” variant, which I have found to be very beneficial in my use case. The Queue is the same one for all processes, if that makes a difference.
I could just make the Queue global, but I have always been told not too. Perhaps this is an exception? --- Israel Brewster Software Engineer Alaska Volcano Observatory Geophysical Institute - UAF 2156 Koyukuk Drive Fairbanks AK 99775-7320 Work: 907-474-5172 cell: 907-328-9145 -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
