Using Pool of Processes

[chirag75]

I have to process no of files from a directory. each file can be
processed in parallel. I want to distribute processing between no of
children processes ( not threads ) what will be the best approach to do
this ? Can someone point an example where something like is being done
?

One approach i am thinking is reading the files in an array first and
spawning no of procsses. each processes will process will procsses
specified files from the array.

Googling for "preforking" finds an article written by Randal Schwartz
that implements a pool of processes.

thanks Tad.

For what?

I make a whole lot of followups each day, I cannot keep straight
what I said to who without something to jog my memory.

Please quote some context in followups like everybody else does.

Please begin to do this very very soon.

Thank you.
