Why not use MPI? It's cross platform, cross language and very widely supported already. And there're Python bindings already.

The point of pyprocessing is that fact that the API is the same as that of the threading module - making it very easy to convert a multithreaded program to a multiprocessing one, and hence making it easy to exploit multiple processors in a CPU bound Python program, regardless of the restrictions imposed by Python's GIL.

Cheers,
Nick.
