  Description     : MPI parallel map and cluster scheduling

 The pyina package provides several basic tools to make MPI-based
 parallel computing more accessible to the end user.  The goal of pyina
 is to allow the user to extend their own code to MPI-based parallel
 computing with minimal refactoring.
 .
 pyina provides a highly configurable parallel map interface
 to running MPI jobs, with:
 .
  * a map interface that extends the Python map standard
  * the ability to submit batch jobs to a selection of schedulers
  * the ability to customize node and process launch configurations
  * the ability to launch parallel MPI jobs with standard Python
  * ease in selecting different strategies for processing a work list
 .
 pyina is part of pathos, a Python framework for heterogeneous computing.

This is a core plugin for the pathos system, which I am packaging.
I cannot test it myself, though, as I don't have an MPI setup, but I
am packaging it for those who use pathos and do have such a system.

I will maintain it within the Debian Python Team.
