def parallel.main

(

argv

)

A very simple system for executing multiple commands in parallel on one machine (or the digs).
Just supply a bunch of commands on standard input, and the number of cores to use.
For a (stupid) example:

(for((i=0;i<2;i++)); do echo sleep 5; done) | time parallel.py

The script *can* be interrupted with Ctrl-C, but it's delicate --
so only hit Ctrl-C *once*, or you may leave some orphan jobs running.
