GIL: What's the hassle and... should I care? - Jacek Kołodziej
GIL often appears as a scary, obscure gizmo*. Misunderstanding this aspect of Python may lead to *suboptimal architectural choices*. I invite you to see my attempt at explaining the GIL and its implications, as well as providing pointers for **how to deal with the GIL* in specific situations.
There have been (and still are), of course, attempts to get around the GIL - or get rid of it altogether. I hope to give some light to these works.
By providing a comprehensive overview of today's GIL in CPython, this presentation aims to help make *better design choices* - be it choosing a concurrency/parallelism model, Python implementation to use - or even whether or not to drop. Python entirely.
