There are other interesting options if you wish to parallelize the Python code and run it on clusters on problems that require you to visualize computationally intensive problems. Of particular interest is MIT's StarCluster project, which runs on Amazon AWS (EC2) and supports the Open Grid Engine (formerly known as the Sun Grid Engine). Furthermore, StarCluster has an IPython cluster plugin, which lets you easily run the IPython.parallel code on EC2. For more information on this, be sure to refer to this chapter's IPython Notebook, the StarCluster documentation, and the IPython documentation for parallel computations.
