Topic: 611: Free-threaded Python


view this post on Zulip Logbot (Oct 02 2024 at 18:31):

Jerod is joined by the co-hosts of core.py , Pablo Galindo & Łukasz Langa, a podcast about Python internals by people who work on Python internals. Python 3.13 is right around the corner, which means the Global Interpeter Lock (GIL) is now experimentally optional! This is a huge deal as Python is finally free-threaded. There's more to discuss, of course, so we get into all the gory details.

Have you tried out core.py yet? :wink:

Absolutely. Love it though it's often above my pay grade. In my mind there's still room for another high quality python pod

Enjoyed this one. I'm now working with Python daily so it was insightful for my day job :big_smile:

Very interesting cost/benefit to GIL and no-GIL

Nice episode. The core.py podcast is a bit over my head so I enjoyed the summary for the masses. :grinning:

Meta, but Logbot is looking very handsome

It shows how Ruby's mindshare has fallen that IIRC it wasn't mentioned at all. It's the language most similar to Python and has tread the same path (GIL accommodations, and shipping a JIT in CRuby).

For anyone looking for a Python podcast I really enjoy Talk Python to Me: https://talkpython.fm/

But I bet the Changelog could also produce a great Python pod :)
