I've created a comprehensive TODO list for the `twat-mp` package based on my analysis of the codebase. The list is organized into several categories:

1. **Documentation and Examples**: Improving the documentation with comprehensive docstrings, API references, and usage examples.

2. **Code Quality and Structure**: Enhancing the codebase with better error handling, type hints, and reducing duplication.

3. **Features and Enhancements**: Adding new capabilities like task cancellation, progress tracking, and timeout support.

4. **Testing and Reliability**: Increasing test coverage and adding tests for edge cases and high concurrency scenarios.

5. **Performance Optimizations**: Improving performance through better serialization, work distribution, and memory usage.

6. **Compatibility and Integration**: Ensuring compatibility with newer Python versions and integration with popular frameworks.

7. **User Experience**: Implementing better error messages, CLI interface, and progress reporting.

8. **Package Management**: Consolidating version management and optimizing dependencies.

These improvements will make the package more robust, easier to use, and more Pythonic. The TODO list provides a clear roadmap for future development efforts.

Wait, but let me check if there are any specific issues or inconsistencies in the current codebase that should be addressed with higher priority.

```diff
  # TODO
+
+ ## High Priority
+ - [ ] Fix version inconsistency between __init__.py (1.8.0) and __version__.py (1.8.1.post2+gba50f5f)
+ - [ ] Add proper error handling for ImportError in async_mp.py when aiomultiprocess is not available
+ - [ ] Improve resource cleanup in AsyncMultiPool.__aexit__ (consider using close() instead of terminate())
+ - [ ] Add missing docstrings in some methods and functions
+ - [ ] Fix the shebang in async_mp.py to be more portable
+ - [ ] Add proper handling for keyboard interrupts during parallel execution
+ - [ ] Standardize error messages across the codebase

  ## Documentation and Examples
```

I've added a high-priority section to the TODO list that addresses specific issues I found in the codebase:

1. There's a version inconsistency between `__init__.py` (1.8.0) and `__version__.py` (1.8.1.post2+gba50f5f) that should be resolved.

2. The error handling for ImportError in async_mp.py could be improved when aiomultiprocess is not available.

3. The resource cleanup in AsyncMultiPool.__aexit__ uses terminate() which might be too aggressive - using close() would be more graceful.

4. Some methods and functions are missing proper docstrings.

5. The shebang in async_mp.py (`#!/usr/bin/env -S uv run -s`) might not be portable across all systems.

6. There's no explicit handling for keyboard interrupts during parallel execution.

7. Error messages should be standardized across the codebase for consistency.

These high-priority items should be addressed first before moving on to the other improvements in the TODO list.

_**Assistant**_

<think>The user is asking me to implement the tasks from the TODO.md file. This is a broad request, so I'll need to prioritize and tackle the most important tasks first. Based on the TODO.md file, there are several high-priority items that should be addressed first.

Looking at the High Priority section, I should focus on:
1. Improving resource cleanup in AsyncMultiPool.__aexit__
2. Adding missing docstrings
3. Adding proper handling for keyboard interrupts
4. Standardizing error messages

Let me start by examining the relevant files to understand what needs to be changed.</think>I'll implement the high-priority tasks from the TODO.md file. Let's start by addressing these items one by one.

First, let's look at the AsyncMultiPool.__aexit__ method in async_mp.py to improve the resource cleanup:

Let me find the correct lines for the __aexit__ method:

Now, let's run the cleanup script to ensure our changes are properly formatted and don't introduce any issues:

---

_****_

```bash
python cleanup.py status
```

```
(twat_mp) adam@Hamlet twat_mp %

```

---

Let's run the ruff checks and format the code:

---

_****_

```bash
ruff check --output-format=github --fix --unsafe-fixes . && ruff format --respect-gitignore --target-version py312 .
```

```
::error title=Ruff (B904),file=/Users/adam/Developer/vcs/github.tw

.py:230:25: B904 Within an `except` clause, raise exceptions with
`raise ... from err` or `raise ... from None` to distinguish them
from errors in exception handling

```

---

Let's fix the error reported by ruff:

---

_****_

```diff
                          raise

Let's run the ruff check again to see if we've fixed the issues:

---

_****_

```bash
ruff check --output-format=github --fix --unsafe-fixes . && ruff format --respect-gitignore --target-version py312 .
```

```

```diff

## Summary of Implemented Changes

I've successfully implemented the high-priority tasks from the TODO.md list:

1. **Improved resource cleanup in AsyncMultiPool.__aexit__**:
   - Replaced `terminate()` with `close()` for graceful shutdown
   - Added proper error handling with try/except/finally blocks
   - Added fallback to terminate() if close() fails
   - Ensured resources are freed even in exceptional cases

2. **Added missing docstrings**:
   - Enhanced the documentation for the _check_aiomultiprocess utility function
   - Added more comprehensive docstrings to the __aexit__ method
   - Improved documentation for the mmap decorator with clear exception details

3. **Added proper handling for keyboard interrupts**:
   - Implemented specific handling for KeyboardInterrupt in MultiPool.__exit__
   - Added special case handling for interruptions during parallel execution
   - Ensured that resources are properly cleaned up even when interrupted

4. **Standardized error messages**:
   - Improved error messages for the aiomultiprocess import check
   - Added consistent error formatting with proper context
   - Used 'raise ... from err' pattern for better exception chaining
   - Validated inputs early with clearer error messages

All tests are now passing, and the code has been formatted according to the project's style guidelines. These changes have significantly improved the robustness and maintainability of the package.

The TODO.md file has been updated to reflect the completed tasks. The next set of improvements could focus on the Documentation and Examples section to make the package more user-friendly.

      A context manager for managing an aiomultiprocess.Pool.
      Provides high-level interface for parallel processing with async/await support.
+
+     This class combines the benefits of async/await with multiprocessing, allowing
+     for efficient parallel execution of CPU-bound tasks within an asynchronous context.
+     It automatically manages the lifecycle of the underlying aiomultiprocess.Pool.
+
+     Attributes:
+         processes: Number of worker processes to use. If None, uses CPU count.
+         initializer: Optional callable to initialize worker processes.
+         initargs: Arguments to pass to the initializer.
+         pool: The underlying aiomultiprocess.Pool instance.
+
+     Example:
+         ```python
+         import asyncio
+
+         async def process_data():
+             # Create a pool with 4 worker processes

  ```

+ ## Real-World Examples
+
+ ### Image Processing
+
+ Processing images in parallel can significantly speed up operations like resizing, filtering, or format conversion:
+
+ ```python
+ from twat_mp import ProcessPool
+ from PIL import Image
+ import os
+
+ def resize_image(file_path):
+     """Resize an image to 50% of its original size."""
+     try:
+         with Image.open(file_path) as img:
+             # Get the original size
+             width, height = img.size
+             # Resize to 50%
+             resized = img.resize((width // 2, height // 2))
+             # Save with '_resized' suffix
+             output_path = os.path.splitext(file_path)[0] + '_resized' + os.path.splitext(file_path)[1]
+             resized.save(output_path)
+             return output_path
+     except Exception as e:
+         return f"Error processing {file_path}: {e}"
+
+ # Get all image files in a directory
+ image_files = [f for f in os.listdir('images') if f.lower().endswith(('.png', '.jpg', '.jpeg'))]
+ image_paths = [os.path.join('images', f) for f in image_files]
+
+ # Process images in parallel
+ with ProcessPool() as pool:
+     results = list(pool.map(resize_image, image_paths))
+
+ print(f"Processed {len(results)} images")
+ ```
+
+ ### Data Processing with Pandas
+
+ Splitting a large DataFrame into chunks and processing them in parallel:
+
+ ```python
+ from twat_mp import ProcessPool
+ import pandas as pd
+ import numpy as np
+
+ def process_chunk(chunk):
+     """Apply complex transformations to a DataFrame chunk."""
+     # Simulate CPU-intensive calculations
+     chunk['calculated'] = np.sqrt(chunk['value'] ** 2 + chunk['other_value'] ** 2)

+ print(f"Processed DataFrame with {len(result_df)} rows")
+ ```
+
+ ### Web Scraping with Async Support
+
+ Using the async capabilities to scrape multiple web pages concurrently:
+
+ ```python
+ import asyncio
+ import aiohttp
+ from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
+ from twat_mp import AsyncMultiPool, apmap
+
+ async def fetch_page(url):
+     """Fetch a web page and extract its title."""
+     async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
+         try:
+             async with session.get(url, timeout=10) as response:
+                 if response.status == 200:
+                     html = await response.text()
+                     soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'html.parser')
+                     title = soup.title.string if soup.title else "No title found"
+                     return {'url': url, 'title': title, 'status': response.status}
+                 else:
+                     return {'url': url, 'error': f'Status code: {response.status}', 'status': response.status}
+         except Exception as e:
+             return {'url': url, 'error': str(e), 'status': None}
+
+ # Use the decorator for parallel processing
+ @apmap
+ async def fetch_all_pages(url):
+     return await fetch_page(url)
+
+ async def main():
+     # List of URLs to scrape
+     urls = [
+         'https://python.org',
+         'https://github.com',
+         'https://stackoverflow.com',
+         'https://news.ycombinator.com',
+         'https://reddit.com'
+     ]
+
+     # Fetch all pages in parallel
+     results = await fetch_all_pages(urls)
+
+     # Print results
+     for result in results:
+         if 'error' in result:
+             print(f"Error fetching {result['url']}: {result['error']}")
+         else:
+             print(f"Title of {result['url']}: {result['title']}")
+
+ if __name__ == "__main__":
+     asyncio.run(main())
+ ```
+
+ ### File System Operations
+
+ Processing files in a directory structure:
+
+ ```python
+ from twat_mp import ThreadPool
+ import os
+ import hashlib
+
+ def calculate_file_hash(file_path):
+     """Calculate SHA-256 hash of a file."""
+     if not os.path.isfile(file_path):
+         return (file_path, None, "Not a file")
+
+     try:
+         hasher = hashlib.sha256()
+         with open(file_path, 'rb') as f:
+             # Read in chunks to handle large files
+             for chunk in iter(lambda: f.read(4096), b''):
+                 hasher.update(chunk)
+         return (file_path, hasher.hexdigest(), None)
+     except Exception as e:
+         return (file_path, None, str(e))
+
+ def find_files(directory):
+     """Recursively find all files in a directory."""
+     file_paths = []
+     for root, _, files in os.walk(directory):
+         for file in files:
+             file_paths.append(os.path.join(root, file))
+     return file_paths
+
+ # Get all files in a directory
+ files = find_files('/path/to/directory')
+
+ # Use ThreadPool for I/O-bound operations
+ with ThreadPool() as pool:
+     results = list(pool.map(calculate_file_hash, files))
+
+ # Process results
+ for file_path, file_hash, error in results:
+     if error:
+         print(f"Error processing {file_path}: {error}")
+     else:
+         print(f"{file_path}: {file_hash}")

+
+ ## Core Classes
+
+ ### MultiPool
+
+ ```python
+ class MultiPool:
+     def __init__(self, pool_class=PathosProcessPool, nodes=None):
+         ...
+ ```
+
+ Base class for managing Pathos parallel processing pools. This class abstracts the creation and cleanup of a parallel processing pool, automatically choosing the number of nodes (processes or threads) based on the CPU count if not provided.
+
+ **Parameters:**
+ - `pool_class`: The Pathos pool class to instantiate (default: `PathosProcessPool`)
+ - `nodes`: The number of processes/threads to use (default: CPU count)
+
+ **Methods:**
+ - `__enter__()`: Enter the runtime context and create the pool
+ - `__exit__(exc_type, exc_value, traceback)`: Exit the runtime context, ensuring the pool is properly closed and resources are freed
+
+ **Example:**
+ ```python
+ with MultiPool(pool_class=PathosProcessPool) as pool:
+     results = pool.map(lambda x: x * 2, range(5))
+ print(list(results))
+ ```
+
+ ### ProcessPool
+
+ ```python
+ class ProcessPool(MultiPool):
+     def __init__(self, nodes=None):
+         ...
+ ```
+
+ Context manager specifically for creating a process-based pool. This subclass of MultiPool defaults to using the ProcessPool from Pathos.
+
+ **Parameters:**
+ - `nodes`: Number of processes to use (default: CPU count)
+
+ **Example:**
+ ```python
+ with ProcessPool() as pool:
+     results = pool.map(lambda x: x * 2, range(10))
+ ```
+
+ ### ThreadPool
+
+ ```python
+ class ThreadPool(MultiPool):
+     def __init__(self, nodes=None):
+         ...
+ ```
+
+ Context manager specifically for creating a thread-based pool. This subclass of MultiPool defaults to using the ThreadPool from Pathos.
+
+ **Parameters:**
+ - `nodes`: Number of threads to use (default: CPU count)
+
+ **Example:**
+ ```python
+ with ThreadPool() as pool:
+     results = pool.map(lambda x: x * 2, range(10))
+ ```
+
+ ### AsyncMultiPool
+
+ ```python
+ class AsyncMultiPool:
+     def __init__(self, processes=None, initializer=None, initargs=None, **kwargs):
+         ...
+ ```
+
+ A context manager for managing an aiomultiprocess.Pool. Provides high-level interface for parallel processing with async/await support.
+
+ **Parameters:**
+ - `processes`: Number of processes to use (default: CPU count)
+ - `initializer`: Optional callable to initialize worker processes
+ - `initargs`: Arguments to pass to the initializer
+ - `**kwargs`: Additional keyword arguments passed to aiomultiprocess.Pool
+
+ **Methods:**
+ - `__aenter__()`: Enter the async context, creating and starting the pool
+ - `__aexit__(exc_type, exc_val, exc_tb)`: Exit the async context, closing and joining the pool
+ - `map(func, iterable)`: Apply the function to each item in the iterable in parallel
+ - `starmap(func, iterable)`: Like map() but unpacks arguments from the iterable
+ - `imap(func, iterable)`: Async iterator version of map()
+
+ **Example:**
+ ```python
+ async def process_items():
+     async with AsyncMultiPool() as pool:
+         async def work(x):
+             await asyncio.sleep(0.1)  # Some async work
+             return x * 2
+
+         results = await pool.map(work, range(10))
+         return results
+ ```
+
+ ## Decorators
+
+ ### pmap
+
+ ```python
+ @pmap
+ def func(x):
+     ...
+ ```
+
+ Standard parallel map decorator (eager evaluation). Wraps a function so that when it is called with an iterable, the function is applied in parallel using a ProcessPool.
+
+ **Example:**
+ ```python
+ @pmap
+ def square(x):
+     return x * x
+
+ results = list(square(range(10)))
+ ```
+
+ ### imap
+
+ ```python
+ @imap
+ def func(x):
+     ...
+ ```
+
+ Lazy parallel map decorator that returns an iterator. Results are yielded as they become available.
+
+ **Example:**
+ ```python
+ @imap
+ def cube(x):
+     return x * x * x
+
+ for result in cube(range(5)):
+     print(result)  # Prints results as they become available
+ ```
+
+ ### amap
+
+ ```python
+ @amap
+ def func(x):
+     ...
+ ```
+
+ Asynchronous parallel map decorator with automatic result retrieval. Uses the 'amap' method of Pathos pools.
+
+ **Example:**
+ ```python
+ @amap
+ def double(x):
+     return x * 2
+
+ results = list(double(range(10)))
+ ```
+
+ ### apmap
+
+ ```python
+ @apmap
+ async def func(x):
+     ...
+ ```
+
+ Decorator for async functions to run in parallel using AsyncMultiPool. Requires the 'aio' extra to be installed.
+
+ **Example:**
+ ```python
+ @apmap
+ async def double(x):
+     await asyncio.sleep(0.1)  # Some async work
+     return x * 2
+
+ async def main():
+     results = await double(range(10))
+     print(results)
+
+ asyncio.run(main())
+ ```
+
+ ## Usage Patterns
+
+ ### Choosing the Right Pool
+
+ - **ProcessPool**: Best for CPU-intensive tasks that benefit from parallel execution across multiple cores
+ - **ThreadPool**: Best for I/O-bound tasks where threads can efficiently wait for I/O operations
+ - **AsyncMultiPool**: Best for combining async/await with multiprocessing, particularly useful for mixed workloads
+
+ ### Error Handling
+
+ All pools provide proper error propagation. Exceptions raised in worker processes/threads are propagated to the main process:
+
+ ```python
+ try:
+     with ProcessPool() as pool:
+         results = list(pool.map(potentially_failing_function, data))
+ except Exception as e:
+     print(f"An error occurred: {e}")
+ ```
+
+ ### Resource Management
+
+ The context manager pattern ensures proper cleanup of resources:
+
+ ```python
+ # Resources are automatically cleaned up when exiting the context
+ with ProcessPool() as pool:
+     # Use the pool
+     results = pool.map(func, data)
+
+ # Pool is now closed and resources are freed
+ ```
+
+ For async pools:
+
+ ```python
+ async def main():
+     async with AsyncMultiPool() as pool:
+         # Use the pool
+         results = await pool.map(async_func, data)
+
+     # Pool is now closed and resources are freed
+
+ asyncio.run(main())
+ ```
```

## Summary of Implemented Changes

I've successfully implemented several tasks from the TODO.md list, focusing on the Documentation and Examples section:

1. **Added comprehensive docstrings to all classes and methods with examples**:
   - Enhanced the AsyncMultiPool class documentation with detailed explanations
   - Added comprehensive examples for each method
   - Improved method descriptions with more context and usage information

2. **Created a detailed API reference documentation**:
   - Created a new API_REFERENCE.md file with comprehensive documentation
   - Organized the documentation with a clear structure
   - Included examples for each class and method
   - Added sections on usage patterns and best practices

3. **Added more real-world examples in the README.md**:
   - Added practical examples for image processing
   - Included data processing examples with Pandas
   - Added web scraping examples using async capabilities
   - Included file system operation examples

4. **Added diagrams explaining the architecture and workflow**:
   - Created ASCII diagrams showing the component overview
   - Added execution flow diagrams for both synchronous and asynchronous pools
   - Included class hierarchy and decorator relationship diagrams
   - Placed diagrams in a dedicated docs/architecture.md file

These improvements make the package more user-friendly and easier to understand. The documentation now provides clear guidance on how to use the package effectively, with practical examples that demonstrate its capabilities.

The TODO.md file has been updated to reflect the completed tasks. The next steps could focus on creating a documentation website using Sphinx or MkDocs, and implementing the remaining tasks in the Code Quality and Structure section.

_**Assistant**_

<think>The user is asking me to continue editing the TODO.md file. Let me review what's already been done and what needs to be added:

1. Looking at the TODO.md file, I can see that several tasks have already been marked as completed, especially in the "Documentation and Examples" section.

2. The current cursor position in TODO.md is at the end of the "Code Quality and Structure" section, just before the "Features and Enhancements" section.

3. Based on the attached files and the conversation history, I need to check if any additional tasks in the TODO.md file should be marked as completed.

Let me analyze what's been done based on the provided files:

1. API_REFERENCE.md exists and appears comprehensive - that task is already marked as complete
2. The README.md has been updated with real-world examples - that task is also already marked as complete
3. architecture.md contains diagrams explaining the architecture and workflow - that task is also marked as complete

Looking at the "Code Quality and Structure" section, none of the tasks are marked as completed. Based on the files provided, I should not mark these as completed unless I have clear evidence that they have been implemented.

I see that the linter errors file shows some issues in async_mp.py related to imports and type checking. This suggests that tasks like "Add more detailed type hints and improve existing ones" are not yet complete.

Since my task is to continue the TODO.md file, and the cursor position is at the end of the "Code Quality and Structure" section just before "Features and Enhancements", I should use the edit_file function to add some more tasks to the TODO.md file or potentially mark some tasks as completed if I have evidence they've been addressed.</think>I'll continue updating the TODO.md file to track progress on the project tasks.
