Edit Question
Title
Body
Python 3.2 ALPHA is out . From the Change Log, it appears the GIL has been entirely rewritten. A few questions: Is having a GIL good or bad? (and why). Is the new GIL better? If so, how? UPDATE : I'm fairly new to Python. So all of this is new to my but I do at least understand that the existence of a GIL with CPython is a huge deal. Question though, why does CPython not just clone the interpreter like Perl does in an attempt to remove the need for the GIL?
