Re: [Pypar-developers] pypar: receiving without specifying source?

[Ole N. <ole...@gm...>]

Hi Magnar

Thanks for your interest in pypar.

It is possible to receive messages from any source in the MPI standard and
this is also the case in pypar as in this snippet taken from the bundled
mandel brot example mandel_parallel_dynamic.py

R, status = pypar.receive(pypar.any_source,
                                         tag=result_tag,
                                         return_status=True)

The status object contains various information and in particular you can get
the source for the message just received through

status.source


Hope this helps
Cheers
Ole
