There's just no way you can use Python in a multi-processor environment, 
because the GIL (Global Interpreter Lock) will prevent two threads from 
running concurrently. When I saw this discussed, the Python developper 
were more into multi-process systems when it comes to multi-processors.
I think I even heard some discussion about efficient inter-process 
messaging system, but I can't remember where :o)

Hope it'll help.
