not sure if this is the best place to ask for this. If not, please advise on the correct place.

Since the numpy wheels internally use openBLAS, operations can be implicitly multithreaded directly by openBLAS.

This, of course, can clash with multithreading or parallel processing. The recommended practice in this case is to set 

export OPENBLAS_NUM_THREADS=1

in the environment. However, I would like to be able to adjust this directly in my python code.

Is there a way to control this directly through Python, whether through numpy or not?

Thanks for your time!
