There are tons, but without even a knowledge domain, it's difficult to recommend much of anything. Multiprocessing for I/O (e.g., web serving) tends to look different and be structured differently from multiprocessing for CPU-intensive tasking (e.g., digital signal processing), and both look different from things with specific requirements w.r.t latency (e.g., video game server, hard-real time applications) or other requirements. Even the level at which you parallel process can change things dramatically. Consider the simple case of matrix multiplication. I can make the multiplication itself parallel; or assuming I have multiple sets of matricies I want to multiply (common), I can make execute each multiplication in parallel. Both solutions look different, and a solution that uses both levels of parallelism frequently will look different still. Adam -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
