The post is less flaming than the title, fortunately. :-)

If you have multiple CPUs and you want to use them all, fork off as
many
processes as you have CPUs. [...] If you really want "true" multi-
threading
for Python, use Jython or IronPython; the JVM and the CLR do support
multi-CPU threads. Of course, be prepared for deadlocks, live-locks,
race
conditions, and all the other nuisances that come with multi-threaded
code.
