[Pythonmac-SIG] ANN: PyXG = Python + Xgrid

[Brian Granger]

Announcing PyXG

PyXG = Python + Xgrid

Summary:

PyXG provides a Python interface to Xgrid, Xgrid is Apple's solution 
for running jobs on a cluster of Macintosh computers. The main goal of 
this project is to enable users to submit and manage Xgrid jobs on a 
cluster of Macs from a Python script or within an interactive Python 
session.

Features:

-- 	Use Xgrid from within python scripts as well as in interactive 
Python sessions

-- 	Submit and manage simple (one task) and batch (many task) Xgrid jobs

-- 	List available grids and query their status

--	List active Xgrid jobs, query their status and perform various 
actions
	(delete, restart, etc.) on them

--	Easily work with more than one Xgrid controller or grid at the same 
time.

--	Quickly create sets of jobs using Python's powerful syntax
