In the documentation of Python 3.7, the description of multiprocessing.cpu_count() is "Return the number of CPUs in the system.", but, in fact, this function return the CPU threads number. |

While your suggestion is technically correct, CPU as a shortcut for "logical processor" is very common in software engineering. For me, "number of CPU threads" is more unclear than just "number of CPUs" |

Hi, Andrew! Thanks for your explanation! I am sorry about my unfamiliarity about the shortcut, as a student from China whose mother tongue is not English. So I am not quite familiar with the English customs in Computer engineering. |
