Those short tutorials were aimed at developers with a basic level of understanding of Python and who may have previously coded in JavaScript, rather than at complete novices. So far, the first ...

Free-threaded Python is now officially supported, though using it remains optional. Here are four tips for developers getting ...

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 ...

A Python program that uses threading is typically a good candidate for using async. Threads in Python are cooperative; they yield to one another as needed. Async tasks in Python work the same way.

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.

Ruby and Python's standard implementations make use of a Global Interpreter Lock. Justin James explains the major advantages and downsides of the GIL mechanism. Multithreading and parallel ...
