I am getting the same message, but I am using python-mpi package directly by executing: mpiexec -n 5 python /usr/share/doc/python-mpi/examples/mpi.py
Tracked this back a little further. The traceback that I saw was from File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/Scientific/MPI/core.py", line 303, in send. This is within the DummyCommunicator class. It indicates that the try condition above has failed. I added "import traceback" and "traceback.print_exc()" to core.py at line 284. After running again another traceback appears just before the other: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/Scientific/MPI/core.py", line 279, in <module> from Scientific_mpi import * ImportError: No module named Scientific_mpi The python-mpi module does not contain any such module nor is there one available on my system. Perhaps instead of Scientific_mpi it should be Scientific.MPI (seperated with a period). Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/Scientific/MPI/core.py", line 280, in <module> from Scientific.MPI import _C_API, _registerErrorObject ImportError: cannot import name _C_API Not sure where to go from here. Could this be the result of a missing dependency? $ cat /etc/lsb-release DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu DISTRIB_RELEASE=9.04 DISTRIB_CODENAME=jaunty DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 9.04" uname -m x86_64 -- mpi.py fails to run: invalid MPI destination https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/73474 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
