New submission from Дилян Палаузов <dilyan.palauzov@aegee.org>: https://docs.python.org/3/library/multiprocessing.html#multiprocessing.pool.... says: starmap(func, iterable[, chunksize]) Like map() except that the elements of the iterable are expected to be iterables that are unpacked as arguments. Hence an iterable of [(1,2), (3, 4)] results in [func(1,2), func(3,4)]. If it was like map() then it would have returned an iterator. Please clarify, that Pool.map and Pool.starmap return list. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 305337 nosy: dilyan.palauzov, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Document Pool.(star)map return type type: enhancement versions: Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue31914> _______________________________________
