我想在Python中使用multiprocessing库。遗憾的是，multiprocessing使用的pickle不支持带有闭包，lambda的函数或__main__中的函数。这三个对我都很重要
In [1]: import pickle
In [2]: pickle.dumps(lambda x: x)
PicklingError: Can't pickle <function <lambda> at 0x23c0e60>: it's not found as __main__.<lambda>
幸运的是
dill 是一个更强大的 pickle 。显然dill在导入时执行魔术以使 pickle 工作In [3]: import dill
In [4]: pickle.dumps(lambda x: x)
Out[4]: "cdill.dill\n_load_type\np0\n(S'FunctionType'\np1 ...
这非常令人鼓舞，特别是因为我无权访问多处理源代码。可悲的是，我仍然无法使这个非常基本的例子起作用
import multiprocessing as mp
import dill
p = mp.Pool(4)
print p.map(lambda x: x**2, range(10))
为什么是这样？我想念什么？
multiprocessing + dill组合的限制到底是什么？塞巴斯蒂安·J·F的临时编辑

最佳答案
multiprocessing对酸洗有一些不好的选择。别误会，它做出了一些不错的选择，使它可以对某些类型进行 pickle ，以便可以在池的 map 功能中使用它们。但是，由于我们具有可以进行酸洗的dill，因此多处理程序自身的酸洗变得有些局限。实际上，如果multiprocessing将使用pickle而不是cPickle ...并删除其自身的某些酸洗覆盖，则dill可以接管并为multiprocessing提供更多的完整序列化。
在此之前，存在一个名为pathos的multiprocessing分支(不幸的是，发行版本有些陈旧)，它消除了上述限制。 Pathos还添加了一些多处理所没有的不错的功能，例如map函数中的multi-args。经过一些轻微的更新后，Pathos即将发布，主要是转换为python3.x。
