I disagree with point 2. "Explicit is better than implicit". Programmer must know where thread/process boundaries are and convey this to the system. This knowledge very important in order to make all kind of algorithmic decisions.

While explicit is usually better then implicit, in the area of threading Python follows the fully implicit path. The GIL is nothing else but a completely magic way to make Python threadsafe. Furthermore, any solution around this must take this automatic safety into account. Andreas
