Antoine Pitrou added the comment: Agreed that it is not possible for multiprocessing to choose an optimal default in all settings. However, making the default adequate for more use cases sounds like a reasonable goal.
Currently, we are using `os.cpu_count()`. Ideally, we would have a second API `os.usable_cpu_count()` that would return the number of logical CPUs usable by the current process (taking into account affinity settings, cgroups, etc.). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue26692> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
