I’m happy to announce the initial public release of boostmpi, an MPI wrapper for Python.
boostmpi is a high-quality Python wrapper around the Message Passing Interface (MPI). MPI is a standardized interface to libraries such as OpenMPI and MPICH that provide high-performance inter-process communication for distributed-memory computing.
boostmpi uses the Boost.MPI library, which gives MPI a very usable C++ interface. This C++ interface is then made accessible to Python via the Boost.Python library.
boostmpi was originally distributed as part of the Boost C++ library. This separate distribution aims to make the software more accessible.
Disclaimer: boostmpi (born as Boost.MPI.Python) is the work of Doug Gregor. I just do maintenance and distribution work around here.
