Description Freddie Witherden 2013-11-19 17:11:12 UTC

The h5py library has support for MPI via the mpi4py package (so long as the underlying hdf5 library is compiled with MPI support).  See http://www.h5py.org/docs/topics/mpi.html

However, the current ebuild builds h5py without MPI support:
>>> from h5py import h5
>>> h5.get_config().mpi
False

It would therefore be nice if h5py exposed an MPI use flag (which maps down to the --mpi argument to setup.py).

Reproducible: Always
