pycos version 4.9.1 has been released. In this release

  • Added 'dispycos_close_node' function that computations may call to close the node where that
    computation is executing.

  • Added pico_client.py and pico_service.py examples that implement tiny (pico size) services.

  • dispycos servers now can recover even if computation tasks execute 'exit' or 'os.exit' either
    directly or indirectly (e.g., a library function that may exit).

  • Fixed dispycos to wait for pending tasks to finish if computation closes.

  • Fixed dispycosnode to wait for servers to finish pending tasks if computation closes or "quit"
    command is given at the command line.

  • Replaced 'dispycos_client_restart_servers.py' with 'dispycos_client10.py' to show how to use
    'restart_servers' and 'dispycos_close_server'.
