And I maintain it's an ugly idiom ;-) Since the user can't do anything except falling back to 1, os.cpu_count() should always return a positive number (1 by default). That's AFAICT what all other platforms (Java, Ruby, etc) do, because it makes sense. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17914> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
