How to get each Process ID when multiprocessing

Question

I have some problems because I\'m newbie in Python and Pyside.

I have N processes which are running at the same time.

Since these processes take some times to fi

Answer 1

The easiest way is to list all of the processes and then use os.kill to kill it.

import os
pids= [pid for pid in os.listdir('/proc') if pid.isdigit()]

for pid in pids:
    print open(os.path.join('/proc', pid, 'cmdline'), 'rb').read()

But you should look at doing this with threading.

Answer 2

I hacked together an demo that more or less reproduces the multiprocessing example, with the addition of the ability to abort uploads. It can only handle six parallel uploads at a time because that is the maximum QNetworkAccessManager will allow. However, this limit could be increased by simply adding another QNetworkAccessManager.

There was one issue I came across while testing the demo. It seems that under some circumstances, the post-data can get sent twice (see here, for example). But I don't know whether this is a Qt bug, or an issue with my test setup (I used a python threaded httpserver). Anyway, it was easy enough to fix by closing the reply-object in the uploadProgress handler (see below).

        header = self.table.horizontalHeader()
        header.setStretchLastSection(True)
        header.hide()
        self.table.setColumnCount(2)
        self.button = QtGui.QPushButton('Add Upload', self)
        self.button.clicked.connect(self.handleAddUpload)

                QtNetwork.QNetworkRequest.ContentTypeHeader,
                'application/x-www-form-urlencoded')
            self._reply = self.parent().post(request, data)
            self._reply.uploadProgress.connect(self.handleUploadProgress)

    def handleUploadProgress(self, sent, total):
