Re: [Python-ideas] multiprocessing and physical CPU cores count

I'm not sure what the point would be. From the point of the view of an application programmer, the CPU topology is an almost esoteric detail. This would be appropriate for a third-party "system information" package, IMO (with memory speed, number of PCIe channels, cache associativity, etc.).

Isn't the whole point of a high-level language to be able to not have to know about the hardware?
