After my previous thread was marked as a duplicate, it pointed me in the direction of multiprocessing managers. I'm trying to use multiprocessing to create a service that handles my pandas dataframe to give to Flask requests. This is my code so far:
df_manager.py
from multiprocessing.managers import BaseManager
import pandas as pd
def init_dataframe():
return pd.DataFrame(data={'col1': [1, 2], 'col2': [3, 4]})
def get_df():
return df
df = init_dataframe()
manager = BaseManager(('', 37844), b'password')
manager.register('get_df', get_df)
server = manager.get_server()
server.serve_forever()
data_handler.py
from multiprocessing.managers import BaseManager
import pandas as pd
def get_df():
manager = BaseManager(('', 37844), b'password')
manager.register('get_df')
manager.connect()
return manager.get_df()
def data():
df = get_df()
return df.to_dict()
if __name__ == '__main__':
data()
Unfortunately, this throws an exception when attempting to call manager.get_df()
in data_handler.py
.
Traceback (most recent call last):

NotImplementedError: Not supported for DataFrames!

Any help in the right direction would be much appreciated!
EDIT: This seems to be caused by DataFrames specifically, as returning df.to_json()
instead of just df
in df_manager.py
seems to work fine. Still investigating...
EDIT2: I have updated the code to remove the Flask dependency, as it has seemingly nothing to do with it.
