How to add processors (addprocs) for Pyjulia 0.5.2 and return value of Julia function in Python?

Does anyone know how to add processors for Pyjulia when calling Julia function in Python? I need to use Python to call a Julia function using multiple cores and return values ​​in Python.

Python code testJulia_addproc.py

:

import julia
j = julia.Julia()
print("Core number = {}".format(j.nprocs()))
j.include("test_addproc.jl")
a = j.eval("test_addproc()")
print a

      

        
        
        
      

    

Julia's code test_addproc.jl

:

function test_addproc()
    println("line 1")
    np = nprocs()
    println("line 2")
    if np < 12
        println("line 3")
        addprocs(12-np)
        println("line 4")
    end
    println("line 5")
    return(1+1)
end

      

        
        
        
      

    

==
$ python testJulia_addproc.py


I got this error.

Based on this post I found that the number of processors in pyjulia should match the number in Julia (@Isaiah: nprocs()

in pure Julia should match j.nprocs()

).

I have tried adding procs to pyjulia.

import julia
j = julia.Julia()
j.addprocs(2)

Based on this post , I found that there is a way to add processors to pyjulia, but did not return Julia values ​​to the function.

# One way to add procs in pyjulia
import ctypes
JLPATH=b"/Applications/Julia-0.5.app/Contents/Resources/julia"
jl = ctypes.PyDLL(JLPATH+b"/lib/libjulia.dylib", ctypes.RTLD_GLOBAL)
jl.jl_init(JLPATH+b"/bin/")
jl.jl_eval_string(" include(test_addproc.jl) ")
a = jl.jl_eval_string(" test_addproc()) ")
print a
# 0
# It should be 2
