That sounds like a horrible idea. The GIL should never be held during an
I/O operation.

Is ``allow_all_extensions`` the best name for the context manager?
Nope. I'm pretty sure that "parallel processing via multiple simultaneous interpreters" won't be the only reason people ever want to exclude certain extensions.
It might be easier to express that through package or module name, but importlib and util aren't specific enough.
For an example of an extension that works with multiple interpreters but only if they share a single GIL ... why wouldn't that apply to any extension designed to work with a Singleton external resource? For example, the interpreters could all share a single database connection, and repurpose the GIL to ensure that there isn't a thread (or interpreter) switch mid-transaction. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list -- python-dev@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-dev-leave@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-dev.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-dev@python.org/message/RUDVIEDD...
