Hi. :) I have a question regarding threading in Python. I'm trying to write a wrapper script in Python that will spin off multiple (lots!) of instances of an I/O benchmark/testing utility. I'm very interested in doing this in Python, but am unsure if this is a good idea. I thought I read somewhere online that because of the way Python was written, even if I spun off (forked off?) multiple instances of a program, all those child processes would be restricted to one CPU. Is this true?
I'm not sure if the utility I'm forking is CPU-intensive; it may very well be. Does Python indeed have this limitation? Also, should I be using os.fork() for this kind of program? Thoughts/ideas appreciated. :) Thanks! .james _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
