Little process-based workers to do your bidding.
Deliberately minimalist, you provide the number of workers to use & a list of commands (to be executed at the shell) & littleworkers will eat through the list as fast as it can.
littleworkers is tested & works on Mac OS X/Linux/BSD. It may work on Windows (!) but is untested. Feedback welcome.
You can install from PyPI using pip (or easy_install if you prefer broken, unmaintained software):
pip install littleworkers
The only dependencies are in Python’s stdlib & the code is pure Python, so there’s nothing to compile.
littleworkers is maintained with a passing test suite at all times. You should use nose_ or similar tools to run the tests like:
nosetests tests.py
Output is currently pretty verbose, which will be fixed in the future.
Contributions are welcome & should be submitted as pull requests on GitHub_. The pull request must have:
