Distributed arrays for parallel applications

I came across recently a very promising module: DistArray. The idea behind DistArray is to
provide general multidimensional NumPy-like distributed arrays to Python. It intends to bring the strengths of NumPy to data-parallel high-performance computing. 
Neat!

Some examples for easily creating distributed arrays are given in this IPython notebook.

Unfortunately I could not test DistArray so far because I am getting weird errors in my system, probably related to installation issues with my MPI installation.
