I am pleased to announce papyros-0.2, the second alpha release of papyros: http://code.google.com/p/papyros/.
Compared to the initial release 14 months ago, only the basic goal has remained the same; both the API and the internals have been thoroughly revamped. Some of the highlights are: - As simple as it gets: for most purposes, the API is reduced to a single method ("dispatcher.execute(tasks)"). - Easier task definition. - (Optional) ordered task execution and chunksize (inspired from pyprocessing). - A distributed group can now handle concurrently more than one independent task sequences: enables serving multiple clients. - Several bug fixes and performance improvements. About ----- Papyros is a small platform independent package for parallel processing. Currently two main implementations are provided for the same API: one using multiple threads and the other multiple processes on one or more hosts through Pyro (http://pyro.sourceforge.net/). -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
