PIPPER - New Alpha

PIPPER stands for Python Integrated Parallel Pipeline EnviRonment. Think of it like OpenMP for Python, but it works on an MPI cluster. Imagine being about to run large parallel job on a cluster just by adding a few lines to a Python script. Most importantly, PIPPER is completely backwards compatible with regular Python. Writing a script for PIPPER doesn't lock you in, and you can use the exact same script on a machine without a PIPPER installation.
Alpha a126 represents a large amount of debugging and optimization done to the PIPPER code base over the past few months. And while PIPPER is still in alpha, it has been well tested and already managed several hundreds of thousands of CPU hours on professional cluster installations.
