Networking capabilities will be included in the next release of Parallel Python software (http://www.parallelpython.com), which is coming soon. > Couldn't you just provide similar conveniences on top of MPI?

Well, I may just add that everybody is welcome to start discussion regarding any parallel python project or idea in this forum: http://www.parallelpython.com/component/option,com_smf/Itemid,29/board,2.0 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
