Honestly. Have you even read the posts regarding the prange statements?

One was a missing DLL (similar in nature to "I can't find my Python.h"), 
and another tried to implement something which was fundamentally not 
parallizable using *any* conceivable framework for expressing any 
parallelism at all.

Nobody has as far as I remember had a problem that wouldn't be a problem 
using multiprocessing or some such instead.

I think you're very far from arguing rational in any sense about this, 
so I'll try my best to just shut up.

(Sorry all, but the statement about the prange loop blew my fuses...)
