Simple example of the map() function with a lambda function.
from playdoh import *
# This line is required on Windows, any call to a Playdoh function
# must be done after this line on this OS.
# See http://docs.python.org/library/multiprocessing.html#windows
if __name__ == '__main__':
# Execute ``lambda(1)`` and ``lambda(2)`` in parallel on two CPUs
# on this machine
# and return the result.
print map(lambda x: x * x, [1, 2], cpu=2)
