dual processor

Greetings, all.
I have a program I'm trying to speed up by putting it on a new machine.
The new machine is a Compaq W6000 2.0 GHz workstation with dual XEON
processors.
I've gained about 7x speed over my old machine, which was a 300 MHz AMD
K6II, but I think there ought to be an even greater speed gain due to the
two XEONs.
However, the thought occurs that Python (2.4.1) may not have the ability to
take advantage of the dual processors, so my question:
Does it?
If not, who knows where there might be info from people trying to make
Python run 64-bit, on multiple processors?
Thanks!

John Brawley
