How is the GIL situation with subinterpreters these days, is the long-term goal still "solving multi-core Python", i.e. using multiple CPU cores from within the same process? Or is it mainly used for isolation?
The GIL is still process-global. The goal is indeed to change this to support actual multi-core parallelism. However, the benefits of interpreter isolation are certainly a win otherwise. :) -eric
