Ruby and Python's standard implementations make use of a Global Interpreter Lock. Justin James explains the major advantages and downsides of the GIL mechanism. Multithreading and parallel ...

Python 3.13: Better interactive shell and finally multithreading without GIL The new Python release features an interactive command line and allows the global interpreter lock to be deactivated.

An experimental ‘no-GIL’ build mode in Python 3.13 disables the Global Interpreter Lock to enable true parallel execution in Python. Here’s where to start.

Python multithreading Guided by this logic, Python inventor Guido van Rossum architected all of Python’s multithreading capabilities around the fatally flawed assumption that computers of the future ...
