I don't know whether the proposal makes sense for psutil per-se but it certainly made me think about multiprocessing.cpu_count() and the fact
it currently returns the number of virtual CPUs (physical + logical).
Given that multiple processes cannot take any advantage of hyper

Of course they can. The CPU doesn't distinguish between different kinds of "threads", they can either belong to the same process or to different ones.
Of course you're right, I'm sorry. I should have phrased my statement more carefully before sending the email. Then the question is whether having physical CPU cores count can be useful.
I suppose it doesn't hurt :-) I don't think it belongs specifically in multiprocessing, though. Perhaps in the platform module? (unless you want to contribute psutil to the stdlib?) Regards Antoine.
