Hi all - I’m trying to run mixed MPI/OpenMP, so I ideally want binding of each 
MPI process to a small set of cores (to allow for the OpenMP threads).   From 
the mpirun docs at 
https://www.open-mpi.org//doc/current/man1/mpirun.1.php 
<https://www.open-mpi.org//doc/current/man1/mpirun.1.php>
I got the example that I thought corresponded to what I want,
% mpirun ... --map-by core:PE=2 --bind-to core
So I tried
mpirun -x OMP_NUM_THREADS --map-by core:PE=4 --bind-to core -np 32   python …..

However, when I run this (with openmpi 3.0.0 or with 1.8.8) I get the following 
error:
A request for multiple cpus-per-proc was given, but a directive
was also give to map to an object level that cannot support that
directive.

Please specify a mapping level that has more than one cpu, or
else let us define a default mapping that will allow multiple
cpus-per-proc.

Am I doing something wrong, or is there a mistake in the docs, and it should 
bind to something other than core?

                                                                                
thanks,
                                                                                
Noam
