First question: why do we need yet another parallel command execution tool? Why is it better than pdsh, dsh, dish, fabric, capistrano, taktuk+kanif, etc? I'm not arguing that it is not better, but we have so many of those that it would make sense to elaborate a bit. Clustershell is a tool like dsh or pdsh but it also provides a python API. It is used by lustre-shine[1] So your plan is to also package lustre-shine? Have you gotten in touch with the Lustre packaging team, then? I do not intend to package lustre-shine for now, as I am only using clustershell and not lustre-shine. and it can also be used to script actions on a cluster.

I'm not qualified myself to sponsor python stuff. I am in contact with PAPT team and hope they will be able to review the package.
