Octave is available for MIPS in Debian GNU/Linux:
http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=octave3.0&searchon=names&suite=stable&section=all

About mpi4py, see http://code.google.com/p/mpi4py/  There is a brand new
1.0.0 release out. I have played around with it in the past, but haven't
used it for anything serious. Boost also has MPI bindings for python. That I
have used a bit, and I found it pretty smooth sailing. I haven't used either
package enough to make serious comments, though.

Cheers, Michael
