The Python module holding Eugo’s distributed-compute API. The top-level eugo namespace is deliberately empty; everything lives under eugo.hpc.

Deliberately small. The decorator, get(), and options() cover nearly everything, and the parts that are hidden are hidden because managing them by hand is what the platform exists to avoid.
