如何恢复传递给multiprocessing.Process的函数的返回值？

Question

在下面的示例代码中，我想恢复该函数的返回值worker。我该怎么做呢？此值存储在哪里？

示例代码：

import multiprocessing

def worker(procnum):
    '''worker function'''
    print str(procnum) + ' represent!'
    return procnum


if __name__ == '__main__':
    jobs = []
    for i in range(5):
        p = multiprocessing.Process(target=worker, args=(i,))
        jobs.append(p)
        p.start()

    for proc in jobs:
        proc.join()
    print jobs
输出：

0 represent!
1 represent!
2 represent!
3 represent!
4 represent!
[<Process(Process-1, stopped)>, <Process(Process-2, stopped)>, <Process(Process-3, stopped)>, <Process(Process-4, stopped)>, <Process(Process-5, stopped)>]

我似乎在中存储的对象中找不到相关的属性jobs。

使用共享变量进行通信。例如这样：

import multiprocessing

def worker(procnum, return_dict):
    '''worker function'''
    print str(procnum) + ' represent!'
    return_dict[procnum] = procnum


if __name__ == '__main__':
    manager = multiprocessing.Manager()
    return_dict = manager.dict()
    jobs = []
    for i in range(5):
        p = multiprocessing.Process(target=worker, args=(i,return_dict))
        jobs.append(p)
        p.start()

    for proc in jobs:
        proc.join()
    print return_dict.values()
