Formal plans for a Python that supports true parallelism are finally on the table. Here’s how a GIL-free Python will finally come together. After much debate, the Python Steering Council intends to ...

The ability to execute code in parallel is crucial in a wide variety of scenarios. Concurrent programming is a key asset for web servers, producer/consumer models, batch number-crunching and pretty ...

Python is powerful, versatile, and programmer-friendly, but it isn’t the fastest programming language around. Some of Python’s speed limitations are due to its default implementation, CPython, being ...

Writing correct concurrent programs is harder than writing sequential ones. This is because the set of potential risks and failure modes is larger - anything that can go wrong in a sequential program ...
