I'm not sure I entirely agree with your CPU intensive statement. Multiprocessing definitely brings Python speedups in the CPU bound arena. I've used it for everything from template matching, to building movies from still frames. Heck, my primary solution to speeding things up is throwing more cores at it rather than figuring out why my algorithm sucks ;) A couple of quick benchmarks and you'll be a believer, too!
