RunOnDirectory()

def CrombieTools.Parallelization.RunOnDirectory	(		objectToRun,
			procs = DefaultNumProcs,
			printing = True
	)

Runs an objectToRun over a directory.

@param objectToRun has GetInDirectory() and RunOnFile() function members.
This function then runs the objectToRun's over all the files in that directory.
@param procs is the maximum number of processes to start.
@param printing tells which files are about to be processed and how long they took if True.

RunParallel()

def CrombieTools.Parallelization.RunParallel	(		objectToRun,
			functionName,
			parametersLists,
			procs = DefaultNumProcs,
			printing = True,
			doCopy = True
	)

Starts parallel processes.

@param objectToRun is an objectToRun that can be copied and run independently when
it's own Copy() function is called.
@param functionName is the str name of the function that will be run in multiple instances.
@param parametersLists is a list of lists. Each sublist contains the parameters for the functionName.
@param procs is the maximum number of processors that will be used.
@param printing tells which files are about to be processed and how long they took if True.
@param doCopy copies the object that the function should be run over
