It's also worth pointing out that Python itself isn't all that parallelizable, even using the core threading packages. (See [1] for a write-up about the main block for multiple core utilization in Python, namely the GIL.) The upshot is that this is why some components like nova-api have the capability to fork; but the other components that use green threads are largely IO-bound, so threading based on IO call blocking makes sense there.
