Are you expecting the processing to be CPU bound or I/O bound? If it's I/O bound, multiple cores won't help you, and neither will threading, because it's the disk doing the work, not the CPU. If it's CPU bound, multiple threads in one Python process won't help, because of the GIL. You'll have to fork multiple OS processes in order to get Python code running in parallel on different cores. -- Greg -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
