"""Start an IPython cluster conveniently, either locally or remotely.

Basic usage
-----------

For local operation, the simplest mode of usage is:

  %prog -n N

where N is the number of engines you want started.

For remote operation, you must call it with a cluster description file:

  %prog -f clusterfile.py

The cluster file is a normal Python script which gets run via execfile().  You
can have arbitrary logic in it, but all that matters is that at the end of the
execution, it declares the variables 'controller', 'engines', and optionally
'sshx'.  See the accompanying examples for details on what these variables must
contain.


Notes
-----

WARNING: this code is still UNFINISHED and EXPERIMENTAL!  It is incomplete,
some listed options are not really implemented, and all of its interfaces are
subject to change.

When operating over SSH for a remote cluster, this program relies on the
existence of a particular script called 'sshx'.  This script must live in the
target systems where you'll be running your controller and engines, and is
needed to configure your PATH and PYTHONPATH variables for further execution of
python code at the other end of an SSH connection.  The script can be as simple
as:

#!/bin/sh
. $HOME/.bashrc
"$@"

which is the default one provided by IPython.  You can modify this or provide
your own.  Since it's quite likely that for different clusters you may need
this script to configure things differently or that it may live in different
locations, its full path can be set in the same file where you define the
cluster setup.  IPython's order of evaluation for this variable is the
following:

  a) Internal default: 'sshx'.  This only works if it is in the default system
  path which SSH sets up in non-interactive mode.

  b) Environment variable: if $IPYTHON_SSHX is defined, this overrides the
  internal default.

  c) Variable 'sshx' in the cluster configuration file: finally, this will
  override the previous two values.
 
This code is Unix-only, with precious little hope of any of this ever working
under Windows, since we need SSH from the ground up, we background processes,
etc.  Ports of this functionality to Windows are welcome.
