Python (2.6) threading module or multiprocessing module?

http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0371/

I am aware this is a Django forum not python. But many python experts
are on this forum, so I though I would ask.

When would you use Python (2.6) threading module or multiprocessing
module?

It seems in general python multiprocessing module should be preferred
over threading because of GIL unless threads need to share data.

Though both API being similar the switch from coding perspective is
trivial.

( it is kind of opposite in Java.)
