Is it possible to multiprocess this script without breaking it up into functions?
I'm trying to keep it as barebones and simple as possible.

No, you need to have a callable object that you can pass to the process pool. Or, you can rewrite it so it only handles one url, then store the urls in a different file, and let your operating system handle the multiprocessing with something like cat urls.txt | parallel my_file.py {} ( https://www.gnu.org/software/parallel/).

You should also consider saving your URL list to a file, rather than hard coding.

How does it manage to pull "url" from list1? I was surprised this script actually works lol.

Thanks for the help! I really, really appreciate it. I think I almost have a grasp on it now.
def scraper(url): This is the last part I need some clarification on. url is just some name I made up, yet somehow it cycles through list1 items.
I don't really understand how that happens. Is map passing each individual list item into scraper function, and then it gets named what ever I call it in the function brackets?

When you call a function, you can pass it parameters. The function decides what variables those parameters are bound to, and what they're named. Nothing outside the function needs to know that it's called a "url", as far as the process.map is concerned, it's just an element of the list.

I've run into issues getting a counter to work inside the scraper function.
I just need a very basic counter that increments for each URL (iteration) that is processed. I tried using a global variable and it didn't work. It's assigning a counter to each individual process:
![[Image: LPIpPj58SNy5-jXFfi8y_A.png]](https://image.prntscr.com/image/LPIpPj58SNy5-jXFfi8y_A.png)
I tried passing the variable as an argument but couldn't get it to work.
What you guys think? Is it even possible to have a counter work with multiple processes?

You shouldn't use shared state in separate processes. The easy answer is to just tell each function which one it is, something like: class Counter:
def __init__(self, start=0):
self.value = start
def inc(self, value=1):
self.value += value
return self.value
count = Counter()
p.map(lambda elem: scraper(elem, count.inc()), list1)That way you handle the incrementing before you hand things over to different processes.
If you actually want scraper to keep a global count (...you shouldn't), then you'd need to use some way for the processes to talk to each other, like a queue or this Value thing.

I looked over some __init__ tutorials, but I still don't really understand what that does. How would I setup Counter class within the scraper function?
I was playing around with multiprocessing manager (it seems to offer the functionality I need).. but I can't get it to work! Any idea where I'm going wrong?
from multiprocessing import Pool, Manager
def test(current_item, manager):
counter = manager.value(+1)
print(counter)
print(current_item)
if __name__ == '__main__':
list1 = ["item1",
"item2",
"item3",
"item4",
"item5",
"item6",
"item7",
"item8",
"item9",
"item10",
"item11",
"item12"]
manager = Manager()
p = Pool(4) # worker count
p.map(test, list1) # (function, iterable)
p.terminate()
p.join()
|
