Multiprocessing : use tqdm to display a progress bar

Question

To make my code more \"pythonic\" and faster, I use \"multiprocessing\" and a map function to send it a) the function and b) the range of iterations.

The implanted s

Answer 1

based on the answer of Xavi Martínez I wrote the function imap_unordered_bar. It can be used in the same way as imap_unordered with the only difference that a processing bar is shown.

from multiprocessing import Pool
import time
from tqdm import *

def imap_unordered_bar(func, args, n_processes = 2):
    p = Pool(n_processes)
    res_list = []
    with tqdm(total = len(args)) as pbar:
        for i, res in tqdm(enumerate(p.imap_unordered(func, args))):
            pbar.update()
            res_list.append(res)
    pbar.close()
    p.close()
    p.join()
    return res_list

def _foo(my_number):
    square = my_number * my_number
    time.sleep(1)
    return square 

if __name__ == '__main__':
    result = imap_unordered_bar(_foo, range(5))

Answer 2

import multiprocessing as mp
import tqdm


some_iterable = ...

def some_func():
    # your logic
    ...


if __name__ == '__main__':
    with mp.Pool(mp.cpu_count()-2) as p:
        list(tqdm.tqdm(p.imap(some_func, iterable), total=len(iterable)))
