Try Parallel Python. http://www.parallelpython.com/ I haven't used it, but it looks interesting. However, the obligatory warning against premature optimization: any sort of parallel execution (including even lightweight threads) is hard to build and much harder to debug. You should make sure that the potential performance benefits are worth the pain before you embark on the job: are you sure that the naive, single process version isn't fast enough? -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
