Re: using ipython as a cluster

I tried these new plugins which seemed to install fine but something's still
not quite right -- trying to get a Client hangs:

sgeadmin_at_master:~$ ipython
Python 2.6.5 (r265:79063, Apr 16 2010, 13:09:56)
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

IPython 0.11.dev -- An enhanced Interactive Python.
? -> Introduction and overview of IPython's features.
%quickref -> Quick reference.
help -> Python's own help system.
object? -> Details about 'object', use 'object??' for extra details.

In [1]: from IPython.parallel import Client

In [2]: rc = Client('starcluster.json')
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    316 with open(url_or_file) as f:
    317 cfg = json.loads(f.read())

AssertionError: Not a valid connection file or url:

---------

There are only two JSON files on the master node:

sgeadmin_at_master:~$ !fi
find . -name \*json
./.ipython/profile_default/security/ipcontroller-client.json
./.ipython/profile_default/security/ipcontroller-engine.json
