I'd like to announce "seppo" - simple embarrassingly parallel python. This should be considered a very alpha version, and was released to the public to gauge interest/reaction. Overview ======== The map function is well-known in Python, allowing a single function to be called on each member of an iterable sequence: map( function, [1,2,3,4] ) The seppo module allows the same functionality, but distributed over several processes: seppo.map_parallel( some_module.function, [1,2,3,4] ) In this case, each iteration may evaluate the function in a different process, possibly in a different computer. The idea is a simple concept and is hopefully natural transition for Python programmers to use the power of multi-processor computers and clusters.
