I'm having trouble explaining the benefits and tradeoffs of threads to my coworkers and countering their misconceptions about Python's threading model and facilities. They all come from C++ and are used to thinking of multithreading as a way to harness multiple CPU cores for compute-bound processing. I also encountered, "Python doesn't really do threads" today. *sigh*
I don't need pointers to the relevant documentation sections. A bit of googling didn't turn up much about threading beyond tutorial introductions. I'm looking for something which will explain the rationale for using threads in Python to someone who is experienced with multithreading in other languages (like C/C++). Maybe a compare-and-contrast sort of document? Thanks, Skip -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
