multithreading concept

[S.Mohideen]

I am sorry if I sound foolish.
Suppose I split my Net application code using parallel python into several 
processes based upon the number of CPU available. That means a single socket 
descriptor is distributed across all processes. Is parallelity can be 
acheived using the processes send/recv on the single socket multiplexed 
across all the processes.. I haven't tried it yet - would like to have any 
past experience related to this.
