The distributed parallel computing library hooks for xonsh. Importantly this provides a subsitute ‘dworker’ command which enables distributed workers to have access to xonsh builtins.

Furthermore, this xontrib adds a ‘DSubmitter’ context manager for executing a block remotely. Moroever, this also adds a convienece function ‘dsubmit()’ for creating DSubmitter and Executor instances at the same time. Thus users may submit distributed jobs with:

with dsubmit('127.0.0.1:8786', rtn='x') as dsub:
    x = $(echo I am elsewhere)

res = dsub.future.result()
print(res)

This is useful for long running or non-blocking jobs.
