The multiprocessing module, new in the 2.6 standard library and available in PyPi as a backport to 2.4 and 2.5, supports managing of processes on both local and remote machines. The 2.6 module documentation has an "example/demo of how to use the managers.SyncManager, Process and others to build a system which can distribute processes and work via a distributed queue to a 'cluster' of machines on a network, accessible via SSH". <http://docs.python.org/library/multiprocessing.html> -- Ned Deily, n...@acm.org -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
