I am trying to execute different methods in a pool object from the python multiprocessing library. I've tried too many ways but all of them get stuck when I call any of the methods .get() or .join(). I've googled a lot and none of the topics nor tutorials worked for me. My code is next:
def get_profile(artist_id):
buckets = ['years_active', 'genre', 'images']
artist = Artist(artist_id)
return artist.get_profile(buckets=buckets)
def get_songs(artist_id):
from echonest.playlist import Playlist
return Playlist().static(artist_ids=[artist_id])
def get_similar(artist_id):
artist = Artist(artist_id)
return artist.get_similar(min_familiarity=0.5, buckets=['images'])
def get_news(artist_id):
artist = Artist(artist_id)
print "Executing get_news"
return artist.get_news(high_relevance='true')
def search_artist(request, artist_name, artist_id):
from multiprocessing import Pool, Process
requests = [
dict(func=get_profile, args=(artist_id,)),
dict(func=get_songs, args=(artist_id,)),
dict(func=get_similar, args=(artist_id,)),
dict(func=get_news, args=(artist_id,))
]
pool = Pool(processes=2)
for req in requests:
result = pool.apply_async(req['func'], req['args'])
pool.close()
pool.join()
print "HERE IT STOPS AND NOTHING HAPPENS."
output = [p.get() for p in results]
Hope someone could help because I've been stuck with this for too long. Thank you in advance.
