Why not use MPI? It's cross platform, cross language and very widely
supported already. And there're Python bindings already.

I am looking for any questions, concerns or benchmarks python-dev has regarding the possible inclusion of the pyprocessing module to the standard library - preferably in the 2.6 timeline. In March, I began working on the PEP for the inclusion of the pyprocessing (processing) module into the python standard library[1]. The original email to the stdlib-sig can be found here, it includes a basic overview of the module:
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/stdlib-sig/2008-March/000129.html The processing module mirrors/mimics the API of the threading module - and with simple import/subclassing changes depending on the code, allows you to leverage multi core machines via an underlying forking mechanism. The module also supports the sharing of data across groups of networked machines - a feature obviously not part of the core threading module, but useful in a distributed environment. As I am trying to finish up the PEP, I want to see if I can address any questions or include any other useful data (including benchmarks) in the PEP prior to publishing it. I am also intending to include basic benchmarks for both the processing module against the threading module as a comparison. -Jesse [1] Processing page: http://pyprocessing.berlios.de/
