Torsten Landschoff <t.landsch...@gmx.net> added the comment: Silly question, I know, but why isn't the GIL just implemented as a lock of the host operating system? After all, we want mutual exclusion, I don't see why condition variables are required for this.
I have to admin that I did not look at the source, so the reason might be documented there. ---------- nosy: +torsten _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8299> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
