Improved Concurrency for Python

— filed under: , , ,

This is a discussion draft for a novel approach to concurrency in Python. It may in time become a Python Enhancement Proposal. Current Python implementations map inefficiently to multiprocessors. Now that most server CPUs have at least two processors, and may have many more, the time has come to move beyond this.

This article discusses using newthreading for managing concurrency in Python and removing the GIL. The article was announced on the Python newsgroup.
