I can confirm this, unfortunately I'm struggling with tracking down the problem. Thanks.

[Barry deFreese (bddebian)]

OK, obviously this has changed significantly in Gutsy. I don't even have an mpichpython anymore. Can anyone re-confirm this? Thanks!

still seeing this in hardy.
i installed python-mpi and lampython
then ran
lamboot
then
mpipython /usr/share/doc/python-mpi/examples/mpi.py

I am getting the same message, but I am using python-mpi package directly by executing:
mpiexec -n 5 python /usr/share/doc/python-mpi/examples/mpi.py

Tracked this back a little further. The traceback that I saw was from File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/Scientific/MPI/core.py", line 303, in send. This is within the DummyCommunicator class. It indicates that the try condition above has failed. I added "import traceback" and "traceback.print_exc()" to core.py at line 284.

After running again another traceback appears just before the other:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/Scientific/MPI/core.py", line 279, in <module>
    from Scientific_mpi import *
ImportError: No module named Scientific_mpi

The python-mpi module does not contain any such module nor is there one available on my system. Perhaps instead of Scientific_mpi it should be Scientific.MPI (seperated with a period).

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/Scientific/MPI/core.py", line 280, in <module>
    from Scientific.MPI import _C_API, _registerErrorObject
ImportError: cannot import name _C_API

Not sure where to go from here. Could this be the result of a missing dependency?

None of the packages mentioned in this report seem to exist in xenial/16.04, is this still an issue?
