This is a decent article, but for me the best discussion on parelleism in Python is Raymond Hettinger's talk "Keynote on Concurrency, PyBay 2017" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bv25Dwe84g0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bv25Dwe84g0 It includes a very important observation that lots of problems are small enough that they can be solved with a single CPU core, and that lots of problems are so big you need full on Cloud Computing Distributed Processing with effectively unlimited number of cores, and there are relatively few problems that are too big for 1 core but can be made tractable by going up to around 10 cores. (This is the "Martelli Model of Scalability") Also this... Some people, when confronted with a problem, think "I know, I'll use parallelism." problems two they two Now two two two two two....
