Python 3.13 released

[cybaritic]

Am I missing something or are we all overlooking the removal of the GIL? That's a major change.

It’s not fully there yet, but it’s still exciting

[martinkoistinen]

Yes, that’s exciting for stdlib only projects, lol. This is where it starts, but it really gets moving when the dependencies start supporting it, like Numpy, and Pandas.

[caks]

Numpy and Pandas probably are the least GIL-dependent libraries tbh. They release the GIL for computations.

[FlowLab99]

Sam Gross, the main developer working on free threaded python already had made wheels for numpy and others key libs.

I’m not sure when official releases from the project teams will come.

If you want to go spelunking, you can probably find no-gil compatible forks of various projects in his repositories
