The last couple of days I've been working on an experimental rewrite of the GIL. Since the work has been turning out rather successful (or, at least, not totally useless and crashing!) I thought I'd announce it here. First I want to stress this is not about removing the GIL. There still is a Global Interpreter Lock which serializes access to most parts of the interpreter. These protected parts haven't changed either, so Python doesn't become really better at extracting computational parallelism out of several cores.
