Which python mpi library to use?

Question

I'm starting work on some simulations using MPI and want to do the programming in Python/scipy. The scipy site lists a number of mpi libraries, but I was hoping to get feedback on quality, ease of use, etc from anyone who has used one.

Answer 1

I have heard good things about mpi4py (but I have never used it myself). That's what a college recommended who looked at all the alternatives. He mentioned the completeness as one advantage.

Answer 2

Also check whether pymw (master/worker framework) might help you. It supports various backends (MPI via pympi, Boinc, ..)
