Yet again, the issue of distributing scientific Python software was raised, this time on the mpi4py mailing list. Since that wasn't really the right forum, and we weren't really sure what was the right forum, we started a blog instead. The idea is to get a diverse set of people describe their experiences; something between a brainstorming and a survey. No current solution fits all and the community is fragmented -- perhaps collecting the experiences of different user bases and the solutions they found is helpful at this point. We want your posts!
