Network Scanner

Network Scanner with GUI (PyQt) was written and used in combination with dispy to set a local cluster for distributed computing. Network scanner scans the local network, all the devices are listed and you can select devices that you want to use as Workers that will do some task. When you select Workers you can also set the efficiency mode of Workers e.g. at the end of the calculation dispy sends the Workers command to shut down (Command: shutdown -s -t 300 /c "This Worker will shutdown in 300 seconds, please save your work"). All the selected Workers are saved in ...\networkscanner\Host&Workers.csv file.
