Be happy that your program makes use of both cores? :] You can restrict your program from using more than one core by setting the cpu affinity. On Windows the pywin32 packages wraps all necessary calls: phandle = win32process.GetCurrentProcess() win32process.SetProcessAffinityMask(phandle, mask) Past week I've written a wrapper for the Linux syscalls sched_setaffinity and friends. I may be able and allowed to release the stuff in a few weeks. Christian -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
