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 targetting 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 * well tested between CPython 2.6-3.X, Jython 2.5.1 and PyPy 2.2 interpreters. * interoperable between Windows and Unix-ish systems. * integrates with different threading models, including standard os threads, eventlet and gevent based systems.
