调试 python 多处理中的错误

我正在使用Pool的功能multiprocessing模块以便在不同数据上并行运行相同的代码。

事实证明，我的代码在某些数据上引发了异常，但没有给出发生这种情况的精确行：

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "my_wrapper_script.py", line 366, in <module>
    main()
  File "my_wrapper_script.py", line 343, in main
    results = pool.map(process_function, folders)
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/multiprocessing/pool.py", line 148, in map
    return self.map_async(func, iterable, chunksize).get()
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/multiprocessing/pool.py", line 422, in get
    raise self._value
KeyError: 'some_key'

我知道multiprocessing.log_to_stderr()，但似乎在出现并发问题时很有用，但我的情况并非如此。

有任何想法吗？

如果您使用的是足够新的 Python 版本，您实际上会看到真正的异常在该异常之前打印。例如，这是一个失败的示例：

import multiprocessing

def inner():
    raise Exception("FAIL")

def f():
    print("HI")
    inner()

p = multiprocessing.Pool()
p.apply(f)
p.close()
p.join()

使用 python 3.4 运行时出现以下异常：

multiprocessing.pool.RemoteTraceback: 
"""
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/multiprocessing/pool.py", line 119, in worker
    result = (True, func(*args, **kwds))
  File "test.py", line 9, in f
    inner()
  File "test.py", line 4, in inner
    raise Exception("FAIL")
Exception: FAIL
"""

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test.py", line 13, in <module>
    p.apply(f)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/multiprocessing/pool.py", line 253, in apply
    return self.apply_async(func, args, kwds).get()
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/multiprocessing/pool.py", line 599, in get
    raise self._value
Exception: FAIL

如果无法使用较新的版本，最简单的方法是将工作函数包装在 try/ except 块中，该块将在重新引发异常之前打印异常：

import multiprocessing
import traceback

def inner():
    raise Exception("FAIL")

def f():
    try:
        print("HI")
        inner()
    except Exception:
        print("Exception in worker:")
        traceback.print_exc()
        raise

p = multiprocessing.Pool()
p.apply(f)
p.close()
p.join()

Output:

HI
Exception in worker:

  File "test.py", line 11, in f
    inner()
  File "test.py", line 5, in inner
    raise Exception("FAIL")

    return self.apply_async(func, args, kwds).get()

    raise self._value
