concurrent

concurrent.futures (package)

Execute computations asynchronously using threads or processes.

Classes

BrokenExecutor


    Raised when a executor has become non-functional after a severe failure.
    
with_traceback(...)

  Exception.with_traceback(tb) --
      set self.__traceback__ to tb and return self.
args = <attribute 'args' of 'BaseException' objects>

CancelledError

The Future was cancelled.
with_traceback(...)

  Exception.with_traceback(tb) --
      set self.__traceback__ to tb and return self.
args = <attribute 'args' of 'BaseException' objects>

Executor

This is an abstract base class for concrete asynchronous executors.
map(self, fn, *iterables, timeout=None, chunksize=1)

  Returns an iterator equivalent to map(fn, iter).

          Args:
              fn: A callable that will take as many arguments as there are
                  passed iterables.
              timeout: The maximum number of seconds to wait. If None, then there
                  is no limit on the wait time.
              chunksize: The size of the chunks the iterable will be broken into
                  before being passed to a child process. This argument is only
                  used by ProcessPoolExecutor; it is ignored by
                  ThreadPoolExecutor.

          Returns:
              An iterator equivalent to: map(func, *iterables) but the calls may
              be evaluated out-of-order.

          Raises:
              TimeoutError: If the entire result iterator could not be generated
                  before the given timeout.
              Exception: If fn(*args) raises for any values.
        
shutdown(self, wait=True, *, cancel_futures=False)

  Clean-up the resources associated with the Executor.

          It is safe to call this method several times. Otherwise, no other
          methods can be called after this one.

          Args:
              wait: If True then shutdown will not return until all running
                  futures have finished executing and the resources used by the
                  executor have been reclaimed.
              cancel_futures: If True then shutdown will cancel all pending
                  futures. Futures that are completed or running will not be
                  cancelled.
        
submit(self, fn, /, *args, **kwargs)

  Submits a callable to be executed with the given arguments.

          Schedules the callable to be executed as fn(*args, **kwargs) and returns
          a Future instance representing the execution of the callable.

          Returns:
              A Future representing the given call.
        

Future

Represents the result of an asynchronous computation.
add_done_callback(self, fn)

  Attaches a callable that will be called when the future finishes.

          Args:
              fn: A callable that will be called with this future as its only
                  argument when the future completes or is cancelled. The callable
                  will always be called by a thread in the same process in which
                  it was added. If the future has already completed or been
                  cancelled then the callable will be called immediately. These
                  callables are called in the order that they were added.
        
cancel(self)

  Cancel the future if possible.

          Returns True if the future was cancelled, False otherwise. A future
          cannot be cancelled if it is running or has already completed.
        
cancelled(self)

  Return True if the future was cancelled.
done(self)

  Return True of the future was cancelled or finished executing.
exception(self, timeout=None)

  Return the exception raised by the call that the future represents.

          Args:
              timeout: The number of seconds to wait for the exception if the
                  future isn't done. If None, then there is no limit on the wait
                  time.

          Returns:
              The exception raised by the call that the future represents or None
              if the call completed without raising.

          Raises:
              CancelledError: If the future was cancelled.
              TimeoutError: If the future didn't finish executing before the given
                  timeout.
        
result(self, timeout=None)

  Return the result of the call that the future represents.

          Args:
              timeout: The number of seconds to wait for the result if the future
                  isn't done. If None, then there is no limit on the wait time.

          Returns:
              The result of the call that the future represents.

          Raises:
              CancelledError: If the future was cancelled.
              TimeoutError: If the future didn't finish executing before the given
                  timeout.
              Exception: If the call raised then that exception will be raised.
        
running(self)

  Return True if the future is currently executing.
set_exception(self, exception)

  Sets the result of the future as being the given exception.

          Should only be used by Executor implementations and unit tests.
        
set_result(self, result)

  Sets the return value of work associated with the future.

          Should only be used by Executor implementations and unit tests.
        
set_running_or_notify_cancel(self)

  Mark the future as running or process any cancel notifications.

          Should only be used by Executor implementations and unit tests.

          If the future has been cancelled (cancel() was called and returned
          True) then any threads waiting on the future completing (though calls
          to as_completed() or wait()) are notified and False is returned.

          If the future was not cancelled then it is put in the running state
          (future calls to running() will return True) and True is returned.

          This method should be called by Executor implementations before
          executing the work associated with this future. If this method returns
          False then the work should not be executed.

          Returns:
              False if the Future was cancelled, True otherwise.

          Raises:
              RuntimeError: if this method was already called or if set_result()
                  or set_exception() was called.
        

ProcessPoolExecutor

map(self, fn, *iterables, timeout=None, chunksize=1)

  Returns an iterator equivalent to map(fn, iter).

          Args:
              fn: A callable that will take as many arguments as there are
                  passed iterables.
              timeout: The maximum number of seconds to wait. If None, then there
                  is no limit on the wait time.
              chunksize: If greater than one, the iterables will be chopped into
                  chunks of size chunksize and submitted to the process pool.
                  If set to one, the items in the list will be sent one at a time.

          Returns:
              An iterator equivalent to: map(func, *iterables) but the calls may
              be evaluated out-of-order.

          Raises:
              TimeoutError: If the entire result iterator could not be generated
                  before the given timeout.
              Exception: If fn(*args) raises for any values.
        
shutdown(self, wait=True, *, cancel_futures=False)

                  executor have been reclaimed.
              cancel_futures: If True then shutdown will cancel all pending
                  futures. Futures that are completed or running will not be

Functions

as_completed

as_completed(fs, timeout=None)

  An iterator over the given futures that yields each as it completes.

      Args:
          fs: The sequence of Futures (possibly created by different Executors) to
              iterate over.
          timeout: The maximum number of seconds to wait. If None, then there
              is no limit on the wait time.

      Returns:
          An iterator that yields the given Futures as they complete (finished or
          cancelled). If any given Futures are duplicated, they will be returned
          once.

      Raises:
          TimeoutError: If the entire result iterator could not be generated
              before the given timeout.
    

wait

wait(fs, timeout=None, return_when='ALL_COMPLETED')

  Wait for the futures in the given sequence to complete.

      Args:
          fs: The sequence of Futures (possibly created by different Executors) to
              wait upon.
          timeout: The maximum number of seconds to wait. If None, then there
              is no limit on the wait time.
          return_when: Indicates when this function should return. The options
              are:

              FIRST_COMPLETED - Return when any future finishes or is
                                cancelled.
              FIRST_EXCEPTION - Return when any future finishes by raising an
                                exception. If no future raises an exception
                                then it is equivalent to ALL_COMPLETED.
              ALL_COMPLETED -   Return when all futures finish or are cancelled.

      Returns:
          A named 2-tuple of sets. The first set, named 'done', contains the
          futures that completed (is finished or cancelled) before the wait
          completed. The second set, named 'not_done', contains uncompleted
          futures.
