Don't be afraid, we don't byte :-)
Concerning your problem, my guess would be that one of the modules you import sets the process CPU affinity (maybe as a workaround to mitigate the GIL impact in multi-threaded code, or whatever) upon import.
And a quick google search returns this:
https://github.com/ipython/ipython/issues/840
To confirm this, you can just do:
strace -e sched_setaffinity python -c "import numpy"
You can also add
"""
for line in open('/proc/self/status'):
if 'Cpu' in line:
print(line)
"""
Right before and after importing the module, and you'll see that the CPU affinity has changed.
