execnet: distributed Python deployment and communication

execnet provides carefully tested means to ad-hoc interact with Python interpreters across version, platform and network barriers. It provides a minimal and fast API targeting the following uses:

  • distribute tasks to local or remote processes
  • write and deploy hybrid multi-process applications
  • write scripts to administer multiple hosts

Features

  • zero-install bootstrapping: no remote installation required!
  • flexible communication: send/receive as well as callback/queue mechanisms supported
  • simple serialization of python builtin types (no pickling)
  • grouped creation and robust termination of processes
  • interoperable between Windows and Unix-ish systems.
  • integrates with different threading models, including standard os threads, eventlet and gevent based systems.
