Python code using Process class

[fred_91]

Homework Statement

I have the following code (please see below). I want it to return [2,4,6,8,10] which is the function evaluated at the given list [1,2,3,4,5]. I want to do this using the process command.

My problem is:
print A returns
[None, None, None, None, None]
But I want it to return
[2,4,6,8,10]

Many thanks in advance.

The Attempt at a Solution

import multiprocessing as mp
from multiprocessing import Process

def func(x):
y = x*2
print y
return y

def OutFunc(f1,a):
if __name__ == '__main__':
OutputList = []
res = []
for I in range(5):
p=mp.Process(target=f1, args = (a,))
OutputList.append(p)
p.start()

for proc in OutputList:
result = proc.join()
res.append(result)
return res

A = OutFunc(func,[1,2,3,4,5])
print A

When you post code, please add a [ code ] tag at the top and a [ /code ] tag at the bottom (no extra spaces though). Doing so preserves your indentation, which is crucial in Python code. I have added these tags to your code.
I have also changed your loop variable from i to j, because i in brackets is interpreted by the forum software as the start of an italics tag.

Thank you. I hope it looks clearer now.

Any help would be very much appreciated.
