Try and see what happens in your specific case. People keeps saying that but I've never seen conclusive evidence on this topic. Using several threads for I/O bound tasks seems reasonable to me, and is the easiest approach. For CPU bound tasks, multiple threads won't help much, be it Python or another language. I mean, a reasonable number of threads with a reasonable task load. A server handling thousands of simultaneous connections is another beast. -- Gabriel Genellina -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
