Is a python subprocess allowed to use as many real threads as it can?

So as we know, Python doesn't have real threading because of the GIL (unless you go the Cython route and detach) but i can't seem to find info or documentation on a usecase.

If from my python script i run a Popen with the commands [dotnet test .....] and that code supports the native C# threads and processes and all of that, will my Python subprocess execute as native C# and handle as many threads as the script needs to or is it locked behind 1 process and 1 thread?

Any sub-process you launch with Popen will behave as it normally does. Python's threading model won't be inherited by a non-Python process when you launch it from within a Python process.
