Single core cpu's are specialized and/or historical.
Or virtual. I have a quad-core + hyperthreading CPU, but most of my VMs (in fact, all except the one that runs a Python buildbot, I think!) are restricted to a single core. If you rent a basic cheap machine from a cloud provider, you'll quite possibly be getting a single core, too. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
