Here is something that looks like it might be a Python wrapper for MPI,
which is a communication protocol for doing the kind of clustering you
are interested in:
http://www.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/~mtigges/mpipython.html

There is also a relevant-looking mailing list here:
http://www.mpi.nd.edu/MailArchives/lam/

Here is something that also looks promising:
http://pypvm.sourceforge.net/
This uses PVM, which is an older protocol for cluster computing. My casual
first impression is that PyPVM looks like it might be better maintained
than mpipython, not based on any actual knowledge.
