A simple thread pool for python

Thread pool

This is a simple thread pool for python(using queue module).

Install:

    python setup.py install

Usage:

• Firstly, you should define a callback to deal with your task.

    def do_work(*args, **kwds):
        # do something
  

• Then, you can create a thread pool to schedule your tasks.

    from threadpool import ThreadPool
    # Create thread pool with nums threads
    pool = ThreadPool(nums)
    # Add a task into pool
    pool.add_task(task_name, do_work, args, kwds)
  
    # Get result from result pool
    result = pool.get_task_result(task_name)
    
    # Get all results from result pool
    results = pool.get_all_task_result(task_name)
    
    # Join and destroy all threads
    pool.destroy()
