pycos version 4.8.0 has been released. In this release

  • DispycosNodeAllocate can now be used to add nodes to dispycos scheduler (in case node are not detected automatically in local network, or if nodes are in remote network). Subclassed DispycosNodeAllocate objects can also be used with remote scheduler.
  • Remote tasks and channel references are protected from ID reuse clashes (i.e., interpretter may reuse an ID if object goes away so remote references may not refer to object originally sent).
  • dispycosnode is more robust in closing servers when computation is closed or if it is deemed zombie computation.
