For the record, in case anyone is wondering about running Gemini DRAGONS in parallel:
NIRI imaging processing with DRAGONS seems to work fairly well with the standard python multiprocessing library. However, a few steps require SExtractor and seem to be writing to temp folders that disappear in between steps. The relevant error message is something like:

It's probably possible to wrap this in a try/except or get parallelism working with a minimum amount of effort; it's just not quite working perfectly yet out of the box.
