parallel python

i just read through the examples for parallel python (pp package on gentoo). some day i'll have to try it. it basically makes a queuing service to which you can submit function calls as jobs. so you submit the function calls to run and then block for the result later in the script. very handy and easy parallelism. maybe i can hook it up to an object caching/generating database as an aop aspect. now _that_ would be cool.
