  Description     : Dask Distributed computing for Python

 Dask.distributed is a lightweight library for distributed computing in
 Python. It extends both the concurrent.futures and dask APIs to
 moderate sized clusters.

This is the distributed component of dask, and looks really useful.

Who wouldn't want some APIs that parallize over multiple machines random python
code, numpy and pandas?

This package will be maintained under the Debian Python Modules Team.
