# The sysutils/py-mitogen port

## py3-mitogen-0.3.28 – write distributed self-replicating programs in Python

## Description

    Mitogen is a Python library for writing distributed self-replicating
    programs. Its main feature is enabling your Python program to bootstrap
    and communicate with new copies of itself under its control running on
    remote machines, using only an existing installed Python interpreter and
    SSH client,

    There is no requirement for installing packages, copying files around,
    writing shell snippets, upfront configuration, or providing any
    secondary link to a remote machine aside from an SSH connection. Due
    to its origins for use in managing potentially damaged infrastructure,
    the remote machine need not even have free disk space or a writeable
    filesystem.

    This includes Mitogen for Ansible, a redesigned UNIX connection layer
    and module runtime for Ansible. Requiring minimal configuration changes,
    it updates Ansible's and wasteful shell-centric implementation with
    pure-Python equivalents, invoked via highly efficient remote procedure
    calls to persistent interpreters tunnelled over SSH. No changes are
    required to target hosts. (See the documentation for more information;
    use ${PREFIX}/share/ansible_mitogen/plugins/strategy as your path for
    strategy_plugins).
