Python: how to run several scripts (or functions) at the same time under windows 7 multicore processor 64bit
- by Gianni
sorry for this question because there are several examples in Stackoverflow. I am writing in order to clarify some of my doubts because I am quite new in Python language.
i wrote a function:
def clipmyfile(inFile,poly,outFile):
... # doing something with inFile and poly and return outFile
Normally I do this:
clipmyfile(inFile="File1.txt",poly="poly1.shp",outFile="res1.txt")
clipmyfile(inFile="File2.txt",poly="poly2.shp",outFile="res2.txt")
clipmyfile(inFile="File3.txt",poly="poly3.shp",outFile="res3.txt")
......
clipmyfile(inFile="File21.txt",poly="poly21.shp",outFile="res21.txt")
I had read in this example Run several python programs at the same time and i can use (but probably i wrong)
from multiprocessing import Pool
p = Pool(21) # like in your example, running 21 separate processes
to run the function in the same time and speed my analysis
I am really honest to say that I didn't understand the next step.
Thanks in advance for help and suggestion
Gianni
