I believe that is an overly broad statement, not necessarily true in
all cases. It really depends on the operating system's thread library
that Python implements it's thread module on top of (as documented at
http://docs.python.org/lib/module-thread.html) and how that system
threading package schedules threads on the available CPUs. The real
answer is "maybe; it depends".
