Question

I\'m trying to use multiprocessing\'s Pool.map() function to divide out work simultaneously. When I use the following code, it works fine:

You could also define a __call__() method inside your someClass(), which calls someClass.go() and then pass an instance of someClass() to the pool. This object is pickleable and it works fine (for me)...

class someClass(object):
   def __init__(self):
       pass
   def f(self, x):
       return x*x

   def go(self):
      p = Pool(4)
      sc = p.map(self, range(4))
      print sc

   def __call__(self, x):   
     return self.f(x)

sc = someClass()
sc.go()
