5 <longdescription lang="en">MPI for Python (mpi4py) provides bindings of the Message Passing
6 Interface (MPI) standard for the Python programming language,
7 allowing any Python program to exploit multiple processors.
8 This package is constructed on top of the MPI-1/MPI-2 specification
9 and provides an object oriented interface which closely follows
10 MPI-2 C++ bindings. It supports point-to-point (sends, receives) and
11 collective (broadcasts, scatters, gathers) communications of any
12 picklable Python object as well as optimized communications of
13 Python object exposing the single-segment buffer interface (NumPy
14 arrays, builtin bytes/string/array objects).
