Description:
At PyCon2024 in Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania, Anthony Shaw looked at the various kinds of parallelism
available to Python programs. There have been two major developments on
the parallel-execution front over the last few years, with the effort to provide subinterpreters , each with its own
global interpreter lock (GIL), along with the work to remove the GIL entirely . In the talk, he
explored the two approaches to try to give attendees a sense of how to make
the right choice for their applications.
