<h1>Binding callables to executors: <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">bind</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">flat_bind</span></code><a class="headerlink" href="#binding-callables-to-executors-bind-flat-bind" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h1>
<p>The <a class="reference internal" href="#more_executors.Executors.bind" title="more_executors.Executors.bind"><code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">bind()</span></code></a> method produces a callable which is
bound to a specific executor.</p>
<p>This is illustrated by the following example.
Consider this code to fetch data from a list of URLs expected to provide JSON,
with up to 8 concurrent requests and retries on failure, without using
<code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">bind()</span></code>:</p>
<div class="highlight-python notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">executor</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">Executors</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">thread_pool</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">max_workers</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="mi">8</span><span class="p">)</span><span class="o">.</span> \
<span class="n">with_map</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="k">lambda</span> <span class="n">response</span><span class="p">:</span> <span class="n">response</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">json</span><span class="p">())</span><span class="o">.</span> \
<span class="n">with_retry</span><span class="p">()</span>
<span class="n">futures</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="p">[</span><span class="n">executor</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">submit</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">requests</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">get</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">url</span><span class="p">)</span>
<span class="k">for</span> <span class="n">url</span> <span class="ow">in</span> <span class="n">urls</span><span class="p">]</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>The following code using <code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">bind()</span></code> is functionally
equivalent:</p>
<div class="highlight-python notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">async_get</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">Executors</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">thread_pool</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">max_workers</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="mi">8</span><span class="p">)</span><span class="o">.</span> \
<span class="n">bind</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">requests</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">get</span><span class="p">)</span><span class="o">.</span> \
<span class="n">with_map</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="k">lambda</span> <span class="n">response</span><span class="p">:</span> <span class="n">response</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">json</span><span class="p">())</span><span class="o">.</span> \
<span class="n">with_retry</span><span class="p">()</span>
<span class="n">futures</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="p">[</span><span class="n">async_get</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">url</span><span class="p">)</span> <span class="k">for</span> <span class="n">url</span> <span class="ow">in</span> <span class="n">urls</span><span class="p">]</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>The latter example using <code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">bind()</span></code> is more readable because the order of
the calls to set up the pipeline more closely reflects the order in
which the pipeline executes at runtime.</p>
<p>In contrast, without using <code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">bind()</span></code>, the <em>first</em> step of the pipeline -
<code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">requests.get()</span></code> - appears at the <em>end</em> of the code, which is harder
to follow.</p>
<p><a class="reference internal" href="#more_executors.Executors.flat_bind" title="more_executors.Executors.flat_bind"><code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">flat_bind()</span></code></a> is also provided for use with
callables returning a future. It behaves in the same way as <code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">bind()</span></code>,
but avoids returning a nested future.</p>
