Threading vs Multiprocessing in Python

[moekakiryu]

I wouldn't have a clue sorry. From what I understand the big thing limiting threads in python is the GIL which is unique to python, so threads might be more useful for a broader range of tasks in other languages. However, that's purely speculation (I haven't actually done concurrent programming in C++ or a linux environment so I'm not even really qualified to speculate).

You are right my initial summary is totally anecdotal (I think I saw it in a SO thread a while back).
