If it made people feel better, maybe it should be called threading2 instead of multiprocessing. I think that errs in the other direction, making it sound like just another way of doing single-process threading, which it's not. Maybe "multicore" would help give the right impression?

Sounds like a marketing win to me, since it directly addresses the "python doesn't do multicore" meme.
