The GIL is controversial because it only allows one thread at a time to access the Python interpreter. This means that it’s often not possible for threads to take advantage of multi-core systems.
Still, we hadn't yet come across a killer feature which we could only use in Python 3.6 to make us finally drop support for Python 2.7. Asyncio, which is not available at all in Python 2.7, became ...
This tutorial provides a complete overview of what is concurrency (and parallelism) and how to create concurrent programs using multithreading and multiprocessing with Python. also focused on ...
Since each process handles this individually, the server won't be held up since it is using all the CPUs, without being held back by Python's Global Interpeter Lock (GIL). About Python threading ...

Python was in the spotlight all last month, with a new release and a couple of big wins. Here are our picks for the best news and tutorials for Python developers in October.
