[Edu-sig] Why Python?

[calcpage at aol.com]

OOO, are we talking about parallel processing now? I have this computer 
lab at school with all new 64bit dual core PCs I don't know what to do 
with.  You mention multithreading python processes, but this would work 
only on a single multi core PC, right?  What about a LAN environment 
made use of as a grid or cluster. Then you need somethng like MPI. What 
about parallel python? Anyone using that?

TIA,
