+ <longdescription lang="en">MPI for Python (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
+ Python object exposing the single-segment buffer interface (NumPy
+ arrays, builtin bytes/string/array objects).
