No-GIL mode coming for Python
Summary: The Python Steering Council plans to accept PEP 703, which aims to make the Global Interpreter Lock (GIL) optional in CPython. Initial support could be introduced in the Python 3.13 release. The council is cautious about backward compatibility and avoiding a repeat of the Python 3 situation. Changes in third-party code for no-GIL builds should work with GIL builds, but compatibility with older Python versions will still need to be addressed.
