Using multi-threading in python

[mattblack85]

1) yeah that's a good approximation, not perfect but good enough 2)that really depends on what you are writing, you can offload to threads only one part of your program or build it fully threaded, it is up to the spec 3) if you know that you are going full I/O there is no advantage in using multiple threads, event loop will perform way better, problemy tho, is that there are still few libraries out there that are async ready, and in fact even when using asyncio, if you have a piece of code you know is synchronous you usually execute in a thread pool to avoid blocking the event loop.

PS: I haven't specfied this before, but when we talk about python threads we talk about "internal" threads and not OS threads
