What Python version are you using?
I would use 'ctypes' modules (available in recent Python's stdlib) in
order do open the MPI shared library, next call MPI_Init() from Python
code... Of couse, I'm assuming you Fortran code can manage the case of
MPI being initialized (by using MPI_Initialized()).
Our scenario is that we are running python, then importing a module
written in Fortran.
We run via:
mpiexec -n 8 -x PYTHONPATH -x SIDL_DLL_PATH python tokHsmNP8.py
where the script calls into Fortran to call MPI_Init.
On 8 procs (but not one) we get hangs in the code (on some machines but
not
