Merge pull request #1768 from minrk/parallelmagics Update parallel magics They now display all output, so you can do parallel plotting or other actions with complex display. The `px` magic has now both line and cell modes, and in cell mode finer control has been added about how to collate output from multiple engines. Tests, docs and example notebook added.

"""Example of iteration through AsyncMapResults, without waiting for all results
When you call view.map(func, sequence), you will receive a special AsyncMapResult
object. These objects are used to reconstruct the results of the split call.
One feature AsyncResults provide is that they are iterable *immediately*, so
you can iterate through the actual results as they complete.
This is useful if you submit a large number of tasks that may take some time,
but want to perform logic on elements in the result, or even abort subsequent
tasks in cases where you are searching for the first affirmative result.
By default, the results will match the ordering of the submitted sequence, but
if you call `map(...ordered=False)`, then results will be provided to the iterator
on a first come first serve basis.
