Install

dask is not yet on any package index. It is still experimental.

python setup.py install

Example

Consider the following simple program

def inc(i):
    return i + 1

def add(a, b):
    return a + b

x = 1
y = inc(x)
z = add(y, 10)

We encode this as a dictionary in the following way

d = {'x': 1,
     'y': (inc, 'x'),
     'z': (add, 'y', 10)}

While less aesthetically pleasing this dictionary may now be analyzed, optimized, and computed on by other Python code, not just the Python interpreter.

A simple dask dictionary

Dependencies

dask.core supports Python 2.6+ and Python 3.2+ with a common codebase. It is pure Python and requires no dependencies beyond the standard library.

It is, in short, a light weight dependency.

The threaded implementation depends on networkx. The Array dataset depends on numpy and the blaze family of projects.
