Welcome to the new home of MPI for Python. We are currently in the process of migrating context to this site.

MPI for Python

MPI for Python (or mpi4py) provides bindings of the Message Passing Interface (MPI) standard for the Python programming language, allowing any Python program to exploit multiple processors.

This package is constructed on top of the MPI-1/MPI-2 specification and provides an object oriented interface which closely follows MPI-2 C++ bindings. It supports point-to-point (sends, receives) and collective (broadcasts, scatters, gathers) communications of any picklable Python object as well as optimized communications of NumPy arrays or any other Python object exposing the single-segment buffer interface..
