Why would the inability to write multi-threaded programs that are worth a damn be a troll talking point? It meaningfully lowers the appropriateness of using python for server code.
- nakkiel 14y agoThere's more than one way to do it. If you're thinking about hundreds of threads doing chunks of work, then my comment will not be meaningful but if you're talking about maximizing CPU utilization for a particular task, then multiple processes is a valid and proven approach (Tornado does just that for example, forking as many processes as you have CPUs and putting them to work).
- jedbrown 14y agoThe viability of separate processes is highly dependent on the problem domain and algorithm. Threads have their place.
