pytest-isolate-mpi 0.1

pytest-isolate-mpi allows for MPI-parallel tests being executed in a segfault and MPI_Abort safe manner

pytest-isolate-mpi is a plugin for Pytest to enable the test of MPI-parallel Python software. MPI-parallel tests are executed in forked MPI jobs with the help of mpirun to isolate the tests from each other. Thus, a crash in test only aborts the test, not the whole test suite. Similarly, deadlocks can be treated with timeouts for tests to prevent a test suite from never being able to finish:

import pytest


@pytest.mark.mpi(ranks=2, timeout=10, unit="s")
def test_with_mpi(mpi_ranks):
    assert True  # replace with actual, MPI-parallel test code

Installation

pytest-isolate-mpi is available on pypi.org and can be installed with pip:

pip install pytest-mpi-isolate
