Hi Edward, I was talking to the developer of mpi4py, and he said that mpi4py should work with both, even if you have both of them installed, by loading the appropriate module (openmpi or mpich) I should be able to run mpi4py. He said he suspects there was probably a problem with the installation of openmpi itself (improper compilation, or the package itself was improperly configured itself). Regardless, it finally works Thanks to both of you for your help with relax and my multi-processor problem.
