Python threaded workers using ThreadPoolExecutor()

A pattern for using concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor() to execute a series of "worker" functions in parallel, processing a queue of assigned "work".

How it works:

• worker_init() creates:
  • Queues for "work" and "results".
  • A threading.Event() to denote "no more work in queue".
  • A futures.ThreadPoolExecutor().

Basic Steps

• User cases (description of sequences of events that, taken together, lead to a system doing something useful)
  • Who is going to use it?
  • How are they going to use it?
