mulpyplexer

What it is and what it does

Mulpyplexer wraps a list of Python objects in a multiplexer that broadcasts method calls and attribute access across all items, collecting results into a new multiplexed object. When you call a method on the multiplexer, it invokes that method on each wrapped object and returns a new multiplexer containing the results; similarly, accessing an attribute returns a multiplexer over the attribute values from each item.

The package has no runtime dependencies and is purely a syntactic convenience layer. It is designed for scenarios where you want to apply the same operation uniformly across a collection of objects without explicit looping, though the same effect can typically be achieved with list comprehensions or map().

Use it for:

• Apply the same method to multiple object instances and collect results without writing a loop.
• Chain operations across a collection: call methods on results, then access attributes, all in one expression.
• Prototype or explore object behavior when working interactively with lists of similar objects.
• Simplify code that repeatedly applies identical transformations to each item in a heterogeneous collection.

Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying

Mulpyplexer applies method calls and attribute access to lists of Python objects in parallel, returning a new multiplexed object containing the results from each item in the list.

No. The package is abandoned (last release 2021-01-11, 2041 days old), has high install friction (source-only distribution), and offers no advantage over built-in Python idioms like list comprehensions or map(). Unless you are maintaining legacy code that already depends on it, use standard Python iteration patterns instead.

Install

mulpyplexer on PyPI

pip install mulpyplexer

uv add mulpyplexer

poetry add mulpyplexer

Installing mulpyplexer

Before you install

High install friction: the package is abandoned (last release 2021-01-11, no commits tracked), has no runtime dependencies to ease setup, and ships as a source tarball with no wheel distribution.

License in practice

BSD permissive license allows commercial and private use with minimal restrictions, typical of mature open-source libraries.

Quickstart

import mulpyplexer

class A:
    def add(self, j):
        return A(self.value + j)

one = mulpyplexer.MP([A(), A(), A()])
two = one.add(5)
result = two.mp_items

Package is abandoned and may not build or run on Python versions released after 2021; no wheel distribution available.

Verify before relying

• Whether the package works with current Python versions (python_support unspecified, requires_python empty)
• Whether the source tarball builds without compilation errors on modern systems
