Documentation

These are the parts you need to know about. Everything else can be looked up in the code.

Queue

This is the task and worker manager. It is in itself a python Thread and manages the incoming Tasks, runs them, and makes them available when they're finished.

*add(target, args)

You use this to add new Tasks to the queue.

Pass a function/method pointer as the target parameter and provide the necessary arguments in *args.

It does not currently accept keyword args.

finished

This provides an iterator that yields the Tasks in the Queue as they finish.

No need to wait for the tasks to finish before accessing them. Just call this and they will be delivered as they are done.

Task

This is the task representation and is also a python Thread.

result

This is the only thing you need from a task. It holds the return result of the task.
