将传递到pool.map的列表中的元素不会自动解包。在“文件读取”函数中,通常只能有一个参数。

当然,这个参数可以是一个元组,所以您自己解包它是没有问题的:

def file_reading(args):
    file, num_of_sample, segsites, positions, snp_matrix = args
    with open(file,buffering=2000009999) as f:
        ###I read file here. I am not putting that code here.
        try:
            assert len(snp_matrix) == len(positions)
            return positions,snp_matrix ## return statement
        except:
             print('length of snp matrix and length of position vector not the same.')
            sys.exit(1)

if __name__ == "__main__":    
    segsites = []
    positions = []
    snp_matrix = []

    path_to_directory = '/dataset/example/'
    extension = '*.msOut'

    num_of_samples = 162
    filename = glob.glob(path_to_directory+extension)

    number_of_workers = 10

    x,y,z = [],[],[]


    array_of_number_tuple = [(filename[file], num_of_samples, segsites,positions,snp_matrix) for file in range(len(filename))]
    with multiprocessing.Pool(number_of_workers) as p:
        pos,snp = p.map(file_reading,array_of_number_tuple)
        x.extend(pos)
        y.extend(snp)
