I agree, this sounds like a very useful addition. Why I was a bit hesitant about adding it to the initial implementation was that I was/am not sure what happens if, for example, in cases such as

cross_val_score w. n_jobs > -1
       VotingClassifier w. n_jobs > -1
                 RandomForest w. n_jobs > -1

Using the code from cross_val_score, would this safely execute? I think if the outer functions would use up all of the CPUs already, the inner functions would basically run on a single CPU without throwing errors!? I could try adding multiprocessing to the VotingClassifier, I think that’s very useful in certain situations where the estimators inside don’t use multiprocessing themselves. Or I could leave this feature for you to implement if you like ;) ??

It has also occurred to me that VotingClassifier ought to be capable of using multiple CPUs to run the base classifiers, ala cross_val_score. The code there is fairly easy to copy.

Sorry for interruption, i can handle this if no one wants. I've already started implementation of it 20 minutes ago :)
