compmake 2.3

Compmake is a non-obtrusive module that provides 'make'-like facilities to your Python computations,including caching of results, robustness to exceptions, and multiprocessing/multihost parallel processing.

Compmake is a non-obtrusive module that provides Makefile-like facilities (including parallel processing) for batch Python applications.

See http://andreacensi.github.com/compmake/ for extensive documentation.

Quick intro: To use compmake, you have to minimally modify your Python program, such that it can understand the processing layout and the opportunities for parallelization.

Here's a demo example.py to try out:

http://andreacensi.github.com/compmake/static/demos/example.py

You would run this program using:

$ compmake example -c make       # runs serially
$ compmake example -c parmake    # runs in parallel
