Here is my code:
import multiprocessing
import dill
class Some_class():
class_var = 'Foo'
def __init__(self, param):
self.name = param
def print_name(self):
print("we are in object "+self.name)
print(Some_class.class_var)
def run_dill_encoded(what):
fun, args = dill.loads(what)
return fun(*args)
def apply_async(pool, fun, args):
return pool.apply_async(run_dill_encoded, (dill.dumps((fun, args)),))
if __name__ == '__main__':
list_names = [Some_class('object_1'), Some_class('object_2')]
pool = multiprocessing.Pool(processes=4)
results = [apply_async(pool, Some_class.print_name, args=(x,)) for x in list_names]
output = [p.get() for p in results]
print(output)
It returns error:
multiprocessing.pool.RemoteTraceback:

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

File "C:/...temp_obj_output_standard.py", line 31, in <module>
output = [p.get() for p in results]

Process finished with exit code 1
The code works fine without line print(Some_class.class_var). What is wrong with accessing class variables, both objects should have it and I don't think processes should conflict about it. Am I missing something?
Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot it? Do not worry about run_dill_encoded and
apply_async, I am using this solution until I compile multiprocess on Python 3.x.
P.S. This is already enough, but stackoverflow wants me to put more details, not really sure what to put.
