How to get unordered results when using `async with`?

Hmm, you're right. I misremembered what imap actually meant in this context. map_unordered does seem to be a better fit in that case, given that aiomultiprocess doesn't really do anything "lazy" in processing tasks/results.

I think this would be a relatively easy addition to pool.Pool. I'd ideally like to see it called imap() to match the standard multiprocessing module, but would need to implement an unordered version of PoolResult and/or Pool.results(). Happy to give guidance if someone wants to work on this before I have the time.

I think if we want to match multiprocessing module naming then it should be imap() and imap_unordered().

were you able to get this behavior from other library or any other way? @karolzlot

I think I just added results to shared queue, a and processed from it in another process. You can find this solution in another issue in this repo.
