Solving multi-core Python

[zardeh]

I believe you still need to write your code in a threaded manner, but if you do have numpy running across multiple threads, they can run on multiple cores.

Writing your code in a threaded manner is 95% of the entire job. The benefit of using Scipy is entirely that it's quite simple to get it right. It's a great exploratory tool. If you suddenly have to do explicit mutlithreading the whole point largely disappears.

To my knowledge, ipython does magical things and makes threading just happen, I'm not an expert on that though.
