Ask HN: Anyone have experience with Parellel Python?
I found what seems to be an awesome Python parallelization library which gets around the GIL by using processes and IPC. The same mechanism lets it support distributing jobs to clusters across a local network or the Internet, with dynamic load balancing.
Sounds pretty great, right? However, I haven't heard of it before, nor have I been able to find much (recent) buzz or reviews about it. Any of you all have any experience with this library?

- bayareaguy 17y agoI stopped doing much with python about the time I first heard of it. It has been mentioned here before: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=654842 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=654842 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=223972 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=223972 http://apps.ycombinator.com/item?id=147614 http://apps.ycombinator.com/item?id=147614 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=107221 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=107221 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=81707 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=81707 Perhaps there's less need for it since a similar module (multiprocessing) is now part of the python standard library.
