This package forms part of the boost c++ libraries collection.

the boost.mpi library provides a c++ interface to mpi that supports modern c++ development styles, including complete support for user-defined data types and c++ standard library types, arbitrary function objects for collective algorithms, and the use of modern c++ library techniques to maintain maximal efficiency.

this package provides python bindings to the c++ interface.

one of the python interpreter packages is required to use the bindings.
