This code computes pi. It's not the first python
pi computation tool that I've written.  This program
is a good test of the mpi4py library, which is
essentially a python wrapper to the C MPI library.

To execute this code:

mpiexec -np NUMBER_OF_PROCESSES -f NODES_FILE python mpipypi.py

Find pi by the Monte-Carlo method.

area of a circle = pi r^2
area of a square = (2r)^2 = 4 r^2

Perform random uniform sampling between -1 and 1.
The proportion of points in the unit circle is:

p = (pi r^2) / (4r^2)
