Each python process is limited to running on a single core, but multiple 
processes can run in different cores.  I'm not aware of a way to direct 
which core a process will be run under, but perhaps there's a OS method 
of doing so.  For more information on the python limitations, google 
around for python and GIL (global interpreter lock).
