While Olivier Grisel may hang out here, I strongly suggest you repost on
the sklearn list. He's a core dev for sklearn and an expert precisely on
the intersection of sklearn and IPython.parallel (a topic on which he's
teaching a tutorial next week at Strata).
The only catch is that he's likely traveling precisely for his Strata
tutorial... But he's much more likely to give you an authoritative response
on that than any of us from the IPython team.
Note also that sklearn supports simple parallelization with joblib for many
of its tools (though I don't know if their RF classifier does). That *may*
do the trick for you.
Cheers,
f
