Description-en: bindings of the Message Passing Interface (MPI) standard
MPI for Python (mpi4py) provides bindings of the Message Passing
Interface (MPI) standard for the Python programming language,
allowing any Python program to exploit multiple processors.
.
mpi4py is constructed on top of the MPI-1/MPI-2 specification
and provides an object oriented interface which closely follows MPI-2
C++ bindings. It supports point-to-point (sends, receives) and
collective (broadcasts, scatters, gathers) communications of any
picklable Python object as well as optimized communications of Python
object exposing the single-segment buffer interface (NumPy arrays,
builtin bytes/string/array objects).
