MaybeOneOrMany module-attribute

MaybeOneOrMany = Union[_T, Sequence[_T], None]

A type that can be either a single item, a sequence of items, or None.

OneOrMany module-attribute

OneOrMany = Union[_T, Sequence[_T]]

A type that can be either a single item or a sequence of items.

String module-attribute

String = Union[StringFuture, str]

String is a type alias for StringFuture or str.

CallFuture

CallFuture(
    func: Callable,
    *args: Any,
    use_process: bool = False,
    lazy_eval: bool = False,
    **kwargs: Any
)

Bases: FutureValue

Represent a function call that may not be ready yet.

Parameters:

  • func (Callable) –

    The function to call.

  • *args (Any, default: () ) –

    The arguments of the function.

  • use_process (bool, default: False ) –

    Whether to use a process pool executor.

  • lazy_eval (bool, default: False ) –

    Whether to delay the start of the call until needed.

  • **kwargs (Any, default: {} ) –

    The keyword arguments of the function.
