Soon. Having failed to convince Guido he had to remove the GIL from CPython, my message has been taken up by the PyPy folk and they are looking at using STM as a technique to be able to remove the GIL. Not sure whether this will hit performance. The multiprocessing package will need a severe rewrite if STM works to replace the GIL. -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:russel.win...@ekiga.net 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: rus...@russel.org.uk London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
