hi all,
are there any information about upcoming availability of parallel
computations in CPython without modules like multiprocessing? I mean
something like parallel "for" loops, or, at least, something without
forking with copying huge amounts of RAM each time and possibility to
involve unpiclable data (vfork would be ok, but AFAIK it doesn't work
with CPython due to GIL).
AFAIK in PyPy some progress have been done (

Thank you in advance, D.
It would be "un-Pythonic" to have real concurrency in Python.
You wouldn't be able to patch code running in one thread from
another thread. Some of the dynamic features of Python
would break. If you want fine-grained concurrency, you need
controlled isolation between concurrent tasks, so they interact
only at well-defined points. That's un-Pythonic.
