对于Python 2，可以使用此技巧

def fun(a, b):
    return a + b

pool = multiprocessing.Pool(processes=6)
b = 233
pool.map(lambda x:fun(x, b), range(1000))

另一种方法是将列表列表传递给单参数例程：

import os
from multiprocessing import Pool

def task(args):
    print "PID =", os.getpid(), ", arg1 =", args[0], ", arg2 =", args[1]

pool = Pool()

pool.map(task, [
        [1,2],
        [3,4],
        [5,6],
        [7,8]
    ])

然后可以用自己喜欢的方法构造一个参数列表。

在J.F.Sebastian的回答中了解了itertools之后，我决定更进一步，编写一个关注并行化的parmap包，在Python 2.7和Python 3.2（以及更高版本）中提供可以接受任意数量位置参数的map和starmap函数。

安装

pip install parmap

如何并行化：

import parmap
# If you want to do:
y = [myfunction(x, argument1, argument2) for x in mylist]
# In parallel:
y = parmap.map(myfunction, mylist, argument1, argument2)

# If you want to do:
z = [myfunction(x, y, argument1, argument2) for (x,y) in mylist]
# In parallel:
z = parmap.starmap(myfunction, mylist, argument1, argument2)

# If you want to do:
listx = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
listy = [2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]
param = 3.14
param2 = 42
listz = []
for (x, y) in zip(listx, listy):
        listz.append(myfunction(x, y, param1, param2))
# In parallel:
listz = parmap.starmap(myfunction, zip(listx, listy), param1, param2)

我已经将parmap上传到PyPI和GitHub存储库。

例如，问题的答案如下：

import parmap

def harvester(case, text):
    X = case[0]
    text+ str(X)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    case = RAW_DATASET  # assuming this is an iterable
    parmap.map(harvester, case, "test", chunksize=1)

text = "test"

def unpack(args):
    return args[0](*args[1:])

def harvester(text, case):
    X = case[0]
    text+ str(X)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    pool = multiprocessing.Pool(processes=6)
    case = RAW_DATASET
    # args is a list of tuples 
    # with the function to execute as the first item in each tuple
    args = [(harvester, text, c) for c in case]
    # doing it this way, we can pass any function
    # and we don't need to define a wrapper for each different function
    # if we need to use more than one
    pool.map(unpack, args)
    pool.close()
    pool.join()

这是我用来将多个参数传递给pool.imap fork中使用的单参数函数的例程的示例：

from multiprocessing import Pool

# Wrapper of the function to map:
class makefun:
    def __init__(self, var2):
        self.var2 = var2
    def fun(self, i):
        var2 = self.var2
        return var1[i] + var2

# Couple of variables for the example:
var1 = [1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8]
var2 = [9, 10, 11, 12]

# Open the pool:
pool = Pool(processes=2)

# Wrapper loop
for j in range(len(var2)):
    # Obtain the function to map
    pool_fun = makefun(var2[j]).fun

    # Fork loop
    for i, value in enumerate(pool.imap(pool_fun, range(len(var1))), 0):
        print(var1[i], '+' ,var2[j], '=', value)

# Close the pool
pool.close()

从Python 3.4.4中，您可以使用multiprocessing.get_context（）获取上下文对象，以使用多个启动方法：

import multiprocessing as mp

def foo(q, h, w):
    q.put(h + ' ' + w)
    print(h + ' ' + w)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    ctx = mp.get_context('spawn')
    q = ctx.Queue()
    p = ctx.Process(target=foo, args=(q,'hello', 'world'))
    p.start()
    print(q.get())
    p.join()

或者你只是简单地替换

pool.map(harvester(text, case), case, 1)

具有：

pool.apply_async(harvester(text, case), case, 1)
