Multicore support is already "supported" in Python, if you use multiprocessing, instead of multithreading.
This is one of the reasons for my other question on this list, about whether you can solve all problems using multiple isolated processes with message passing.
Well, processing (the Python module) serves as a good example how shared memory can be emulated through message passing. Of course, performance takes a hit but since it is out there and being used by people it should tell us that is really af feasible solution. I guess the gist of the answers people posted to your question still remains, the answer depends on if you consider performance as part of the "power" of each approach. Arnar
