pl.thread.ordered

Creates a stage that sorts its elements based on their order of creation on the source iterable(s) of the pipeline.

import pypeln as pl
import random
import time

def slow_squared(x):
    time.sleep(random.random())

    return x ** 2

stage = range(5)
stage = pl.thread.map(slow_squared, stage, workers = 2)
stage = pl.thread.ordered(stage)

print(list(stage)) # [0, 1, 4, 9, 16]

Note

ordered will work even if the previous stages are from different pypeln modules, but it may not work if you introduce an itermediate external iterable stage.

Warning

This stage will not yield util it accumulates all of the elements from the previous stage, use this only if all elements fit in memory.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
stage	Union[pypeln.thread.stage.Stage[~A], Iterable[~A], pypeln.utils.Undefined]	A Stage or Iterable.	<pypeln.utils.Undefined object at 0x7f27e00aaaf0>
maxsize	int	The maximum number of objects the stage can hold simultaneously, if set to 0 (default) then the stage can grow unbounded.	0

Returns:

Type	Description
Union[pypeln.thread.stage.Stage[~A], pypeln.utils.Partial[pypeln.thread.stage.Stage[~A]]]	If the stage parameters is given then this function returns an iterable, else it returns a Partial.
