[New-bugs-announce] [issue12294] multiprocessing.Pool: Need a way to find out if work are finished.

[Bugs Fly]

New submission from Bugs Fly <mozbugbox at yahoo.com.au>:

The join() method of Pool blocks. So it is not good for finding out if there are still running workers once the pool is closed.

There should be a method like is_alive() which don't block, similar to what in Process. Or task_left() which return number of task left.
