Hello Rute,

Due to the same reason you see there, that it's a namespace
we have been exploring how we could still expose at least a version
of the many overloads of functions like mappedReduced.

Another challenge, is that most of the QtConcurrent is heavily templated
what makes it a bit more tricky to expose to Python.

Out of curiosity,
have you tried to use Python-only options to achieve your goal?
not that I'm challenging the existence of QtConcurrent,
but I would like to understand the usage of the module over
some other options like:

threading, multiprocessing, concurrent.futures, etc
https://docs.python.org/3/library/concurrency.html

If having a Qt-API to handle concurrency is your motivation,
is a valid motivation IMHO :) or if QtConcurrent
is solving a problem that Python haven't solve yet
could be nice to know as well.

Cheers
