## Implementing TODO.md Phases 1 and 2 (04/03/2025, 07:16:22)

Implement Phase 1 and 2 from @TODO.md

_**Assistant**_

I'll help you implement the tasks from Phase 1 and 2 in the TODO.md file. Let's start by exploring the codebase to understand its structure and the specific files we need to modify.

Now let's examine the main source files to understand what we're working with:

---

Read file: src/twat_mp/__init__.py

Let's look at the main implementation files:

Read file: src/twat_mp/mp.py

Read file: src/twat_mp/async_mp.py

Let's also check the test files to understand how the code is being tested:

Let's try with a smaller range:

Now that I have a good understanding of the codebase, let's implement the tasks from Phase 1 and Phase 2 in the TODO.md file. I'll start with the first task from Phase 1:

### 1. Add proper docstrings to all public functions and classes

Let's start by enhancing the docstrings in the mp.py file:

Let's update the README.md with our new examples and documentation:

```diff
  * Flexible pool configuration with customizable worker count
  * Graceful error handling and resource cleanup
+ * Enhanced exception propagation with detailed context
+ * Debug mode with comprehensive logging
  * Optional dependencies to reduce installation footprint
  * Version control system (VCS) based versioning using hatch-vcs
  
  ## Recent Updates
  
+ * Added debug mode with detailed logging via `set_debug_mode()`
+ * Enhanced error handling with `WorkerException` for better context
+ * Improved exception propagation from worker processes
+ * Added comprehensive docstrings to all public functions and classes
  * Fixed build system configuration with proper version handling
  * Enhanced error handling and resource cleanup
  results = list(io_intensive(compute_intensive(range(100))))
  ```
+ 
+ ### Debug Mode and Error Handling
+ 
+ The package provides a debug mode for detailed logging and enhanced error handling:
+ 
+ ```python
+ from twat_mp import ProcessPool, set_debug_mode
+ import time
+ import random
+ 
+ def process_item(x):
+     """Process an item with random delay and potential errors."""
+     # Simulate random processing time
+     time.sleep(random.random() * 0.5)
+     
+     # Randomly fail for demonstration
+     if random.random() < 0.2:  # 20% chance of failure
+         raise ValueError(f"Random failure processing item {x}")
+         
+     return x * 10
+ 
+ # Enable debug mode for detailed logging
+ set_debug_mode(True)
+ 
+ try:
+     with ProcessPool() as pool:
+         results = list(pool.map(process_item, range(10)))
+         print(f"Processed results: {results}")
+ except Exception as e:
+     print(f"Caught exception: {e}")
+     # The exception will include details about which worker and input item caused the error
+ finally:
+     # Disable debug mode when done
+     set_debug_mode(False)
+ ```
+ 
+ The enhanced error handling provides detailed context about failures:
+ 
+ ```python
+ from twat_mp import ProcessPool
+ 
+ def risky_function(x):
+     if x == 5:
+         raise ValueError("Cannot process item 5")
+     return x * 2
+ 
+ try:
+     with ProcessPool() as pool:
+         results = list(pool.map(risky_function, range(10)))
+ except ValueError as e:
+     # The exception will include the worker ID and input item that caused the error
+     print(f"Caught error: {e}")
+     # Handle the error appropriately
+ ```
  
  ## Real-World Examples
  print(f"Processed {len(results)} images")
  ```
+ 
+ ### Web Scraping
+ 
+ Thread pools are ideal for I/O-bound operations like web scraping:
+ 
+ ```python
+ import requests
+ from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
+ from twat_mp import ThreadPool
+ 
+ def fetch_page_title(url):
+     """Fetch the title of a webpage."""
+     try:
+         response = requests.get(url, timeout=10)
+         response.raise_for_status()
+         soup = BeautifulSoup(response.text, 'html.parser')
+         title = soup.title.string if soup.title else "No title found"
+         return {"url": url, "title": title, "status": response.status_code}
+     except Exception as e:
+         return {"url": url, "error": str(e), "status": None}
+ 
+ # List of URLs to scrape
+ urls = [
+     "https://www.python.org",
+     "https://www.github.com",
+     "https://www.stackoverflow.com",
+     "https://www.wikipedia.org",
+     "https://www.reddit.com"
+ ]
+ 
+ # Use ThreadPool for I/O-bound operations
+ with ThreadPool() as pool:

  ### Data Processing with Pandas
  
- Splitting a large DataFrame into chunks and processing them in parallel:
+ Process large datasets in parallel chunks:

- ### Web Scraping with Async Support
+ ### Async File Processing
  
- Using the async capabilities to scrape multiple web pages concurrently:
+ Combine async I/O with parallel processing:
  
  ```python

  ```
  
- ### 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."""

-             # 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}")
- 
- ## Dependencies
- 
- * `pathos`: For process and thread-based parallel processing
- * `aiomultiprocess` (optional): For async-based parallel processing
- 
- ## Development
- 
- To set up the development environment:
- 
- ```bash
- # Install in development mode with test dependencies
- uv pip install -e ".[test]"
- 
- # Install with async support for testing all features
- uv pip install -e ".[aio,test]"
- 
- # Run tests

```bash
./cleanup.py status
```

```
(twat_mp) adam@Hamlet twat_mp % ./cleanup.py status
```

        Create a decorator to perform parallel mapping using a spe
cified Pathos pool method.
    
        The decorator wraps a function so that when it is called w
ith an iterable,
        the function is applied in parallel using the specified ma
pping method.
        For asynchronous mapping (e.g., 'amap'), the result's `.ge
t()` method can be
        automatically called to retrieve the computed values.
    
        Args:
            how: Name of the pool mapping method ('map', 'imap', o
r 'amap').
                 - 'map': Standard parallel mapping, returns resul
ts in order
                 - 'imap': Iterative mapping, returns results as t
hey complete
                 - 'amap': Asynchronous mapping, returns a future-
like object
            get_result: If True, automatically call .get() on the 
result (useful for amap).
                        Defaults to False.
            debug: Whether to enable debug mode for operations usi
ng this decorator.
                  If None, uses the global DEBUG_MODE setting.
    
        Returns:
            A decorator function that transforms the target functi
on for parallel execution.
    
        Raises:
            ValueError: If the specified mapping method is not sup
