Answer 1

The Python wiki hosts a very comprehensive list of Python cluster computing libraries and tools. You might be especially interested in Parallel Python.

Edit: There is a new library that is IMHO especially good at clustering: execnet. It is small and simple. And it appears to have less bugs than, say, the standard multiprocessing module.
