Indeed, not directly. But it would be possible to create such a thing.

And the latest Pyro (3.5 beta, at the moment) contains an interesting
example that automatically partitions a computation task, distributes
the parts among available 'processor' objects, and aggregates the
result. I have supplied a sorting task and a md5 'cracking' task.
It is perhaps not really what was asked, but I think it is at least
a bit relevant to this topic.
