execnet: rapid multi-Python deployment

Project description

execnet provides carefully tested means to ad-hoc interact with Python interpreters across version, platform and network barriers. It provides a minimal and fast API targetting the following uses:

  • distribute tasks to local or remote CPUs

  • write and deploy hybrid multi-process applications

  • write scripts to administer a bunch of exec environments

Features

  • zero-install bootstrapping: no remote installation required!

  • flexible communication: send/receive as well as callback/queue mechanisms supported

  • simple serialization of python builtin types (no pickling)

  • grouped creation and robust termination of processes

  • well tested between CPython 2.4-3.1, Jython 2.5.1 and PyPy 1.1 interpreters.

  • fully interoperable between Windows and Unix-ish systems.
