In-depth exploration of Python's underlying technology: how to implement multi-process programming

Since you raise a fairly complex and in-depth topic, I will provide a brief example, but due to space constraints, will not be able to provide a full code example. Hope this example helps you understand how to implement multi-process programming in Python.

Python multi-process programming implementation

There are several ways to implement multi-process programming in Python, the most commonly used of which is to use the multiprocessing library. This library allows us to easily create and manage multiple processes, thereby fully utilizing the performance of multi-core processors.

First, we need to introduce the multiprocessing library:

import multiprocessing

Next, we can define a function as the entry point for the new process. Within this function, we can write specific logic code to perform the required tasks. Here is a simple example function:

def worker_function(name):
    print(f"Hello, {name}! This is running in a separate process.")

Now, let us use the multiprocessing library to create a new process and execute the function defined above:

if __name__ == "__main__":
    # 创建一个进程对象，target参数指定要执行的函数，args参数是传递给函数的参数
    process = multiprocessing.Process(target=worker_function, args=("Alice",))
    
    # 启动进程
    process.start()
    
    # 等待进程执行结束
    process.join()

This code First, a new process object is created, and the function worker_function we defined is passed in the target parameter, and the args parameter is passed in worker_functionRequired parameters. Then, start the process by calling the start() method, and finally use the join() method to wait for the process to end.

It should be noted that because Python's multiprocessing library uses the spawn method to create a process in Windows systems, non-Unix systems use fork method, so in a Windows environment, the code for creating a process needs to be placed in the if __name__ == "__main__": conditional statement to avoid multiple calls to multiprocessing.Process mistake.

In addition to using the multiprocessing library, Python also provides the concurrent.futures module and os.fork() and other underlying methods to achieve Multi-process programming. In actual projects, you can choose the appropriate method to implement multi-process programming based on specific needs and scenarios.

In summary, Python provides a variety of methods to implement multi-process programming, the most commonly used of which is to use the multiprocessing library. Through a simple example, we learned how to create and start a new process and execute our defined functions in it. Hopefully this example will help you start exploring the world of multi-process programming in Python.
