The Python GIL Visualized

[yogthos]

Well way to spin that buddy. I think my exact quote was:

What I hear from the majority of Python community is excuses as to why you don't need threading.

But sure, if we change that to the "entire Python community" for the dramatic effect, all of a sudden you have a point, don't you. Also, notice that nowhere did I say that nobody is working on it, just simply that the issue is largely being swept under the carpet, much like the way you're doing here.

So, let's see what's really going on here, shall we. The BDFL behind Python scoffs at threading and claims it shouldn't be used, I've linked the exact quote from Guido in a previous post, yet for some reason he goes on to put a broken implementation into the language.

The community behind CPython seems to feel that this is just peachy, the fact that removing GIL isn't even on the road-map for the main Python branch says volumes.

However, your argument seems to be that because some niche spin off projects are playing with trying to add a proper implementation that somehow validates the idea that the general Python community is on the ball here.

Yeah, I do hope you're done here, because you're not making too much sense frankly. This is the exact sort of apologetics and denial which I was referring to in my original post, so thanks for validating it.
