调试python多处理中的错误

Question

我正在使用模块的Pool功能,multiprocessing以便在不同的数据上并行运行相同的代码.

事实证明,在某些数据上,我的代码会引发异常,但是没有给出发生这种情况的确切行:

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(),但似乎在并发问题出现时它很有用,这不是我的情况.

有任何想法吗？

如果您使用的是足够新版本的Python,您实际上会看到真正的异常在该异常之前打印出来.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()

这是使用python 3.4运行时的异常:

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

如果使用较新版本不是一个选项,最简单的方法是将您的worker函数包装在try/except块中,该块将在重新提升之前打印异常:

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()

输出:

HI
Exception in worker:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test.py", line 11, in f
    inner()
  File "test.py", line 5, in inner
    raise Exception("FAIL")
Exception: FAIL
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test.py", line 18, in <module>
    p.apply(f)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/multiprocessing/pool.py", line 244, in apply
    return self.apply_async(func, args, kwds).get()
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/multiprocessing/pool.py", line 558, in get
    raise self._value
Exception: FAIL
