writes: I think it's worth it. Removal of the GIL is a totally open-ended problem with no solution in sight. This, on the other hand, is a performance benefit now. I say move forward with this. If it happens to be short-lived because some actually figures out how to remove the GIL then great, but is that really going to happen between now and Python 3.2? I doubt it.
Based on this whole discussion, I think I am going to merge the new GIL work into the py3k branch, with priority requests disabled.
This will be a nice Py3K carrot!
If you think this is premature or uncalled for, or if you just want to review the changes before making a judgement, please voice up :)
I know I personally trust you to not mess it up, Antoine, but that might also come from mental exhaustion and laziness. =) -Brett
