As far as I can see they are mostly equivalent. For instance, ApplyResult (the type returned by Pool.apply_async()) is virtually the same as a Future. When you say "explicit message passing", do you mean creating a queue and making the worker tasks put results on that queue? Why can't you do the same with ThreadPoolExecutor?
