[IPython-user] Trivial parallelisation

[Jose Gómez-Dans]

Hi,
I do have some trivial parallel code (I need to apply some analysis algorithm 
to a bunch of data files), and access to either an SMP linux machine with 
loads of CPUs or to a linux cluster. In the past, I have launched my python 
scripts with a different command line to get them to run concurrently, but I 
was thinking whether there's some pythonic way of dealing with this that is 
simple.

I seem to remember that ipython would be a nice tool for this, but I'm not 
sure of it, or indeed, any other alternatives.

My code is simple:
for file in list_of_files:
  #I want spawn this next line
  ProcessFile ( file )

Thanks for your help,
Jose
