This change was necessary to ensure parmap keyword arguments do not collide with your mapped function arguments. If your named arguments in your function don't start with pm_ you are safe of any future argument I add to parmap (so it's just to avoid potential future problems)
Since parmap 1.5.0, parmap allows to have keyword arguments passed to the function, besides positional arguments.
On that version I (parmap author) had to deprecate
pool
andchunksize
arguments replacing them withpm_pool
andpm_chunksize
respectively.parmap changelog:
