Newbie queue question

[Jure Erznožnik]

Digging further, I found this:
http://www.oreillynet.com/onlamp/blog/2005/10/does_python_have_a_concurrency.html

Looking up on this info, I found this:
http://docs.python.org/c-api/init.html#thread-state-and-the-global-interpreter-lock

If this is correct, no amount of threading would ever help in Python
since only one core / CPU could *by design* ever be utilized. Except
for the code that accesses *no* functions / memory at all.

This does seem to be a bit harsh though.
I'm now writing a simple test program to verify this. Multiple data-
independed threads just so I can see if more than one core can at all
be utilized.
