I think I’m a little skeptical.

#pragma is a real keyword in C but # is just a comment in python - why not use a pythonic @decorator?

Vendoring a library like this into an app seems like a lot more toil than just writing the native multiprocessing python code, or using something built for number crunching like arrayfire or numpy

Though I guess using @decorator semantics would make it look a lot like python-numba syntax
