.. topic:: Abstract
This document describes the *MPI for Python* package. *MPI for
Python* provides bindings of the *Message Passing Interface* (MPI)
standard for the Python programming language, allowing any Python
program to exploit multiple processors.
This package is constructed on top of the MPI-1/2/3 specifications
and provides an object oriented interface which resembles the
MPI-2 C++ bindings. It supports point-to-point (sends, receives)
and collective (broadcasts, scatters, gathers) communications of
any *picklable* Python object, as well as optimized communications
of Python object exposing the single-segment buffer interface
(NumPy arrays, builtin bytes/string/array objects)
