Package: atbu-mp-pipeline-pkg
Python Multiprocessing PipelineOverviewThe atbu.mp_pipeline package uses Python multiprocessing capabilities to support multi-stage pipeline capabilities, including support for dual-stage parallel execution of a producer and consumer stages, automatically providing each of those stages with pipe connection, allowing them share what is being produced/consumed.The atbu.mp_pipeline package is currently used by the following project for supporting a backup compression pipeline stage:ATBU Backup & Persistent File Informationutility package (atbu-pkg).Documentation:https://atbu-mp-pipeline.readthedocs.io/en/latest/SetupTo install atbu-common-pkg:pip install atbu-mp-pipeline-pkgSee below for a few examples.
