-s argument to enable multithreading #67

Closed antipisa closed 6 years ago

antipisa commented 6 years ago

Is there a way to specify the number of slaves prior to executing PyQ? The command

PYQ_BACKTRACE=yes pyq -s 14

does not work.

There is no support for passing q arguments via the pyq executable, but you should be able to work around this limitation by calling the python.q script directly:

$ q python.q <python script> <q arguments>

See gl-784.

This feature is implemented and scheduled for release 4.2.0.

You will able to pass arbitrary options to q by adding them after --

For example:

$ pyq -- -s 14

Will this work for iPyQ too? And how do I run that atm with iPyQ? I'm trying to load in a Python file to iPyQ and pass in q arguments. I want to run something like below, but -s does not work

ipyq -i script.py -- -abc 123 -def 456 -s 4
