Please provide more evidence that Pythonistas are unwilling to acknowledge the drawbacks of the GIL. I think you're just spreading FUD. The problem is that discussions about the GIL almost invariably include false statements about the GIL, and I'm certainly not going to hamper my writing to always include the caveats about GIL drawbacks while correcting the wrong information. -- Aahz (a...@pythoncraft.com) <*> http://www.pythoncraft.com/ "as long as we like the same operating system, things are cool." --piranha -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
