Wait a moment. I thought that Python threads weren't really run in parall=
el=20
because of something called the Great Interpreter Lock. Wouldn't this mea=
n=20
that you can have all the processors you want, it will not make Python=20
faster?

(And, concerning another list thread here, wouldn't this be another reaso=
n=20
to use Java instead of Python?)
