GIL + Threads = Fibers
No, that only applies (to a certain extent) to Python code being executed, not to the complete runtime which includes external libraries etc.
Pure python code running in python "threads" on CPython behaves like fibers. I'd like to point out the word "external" in your statement.
Yes, many people forget that existing/external/yourwordinghere code in non-Python languages is (and has always been) a substantial part of the Python platform. Stefan
