I googled as suggested, and the answer isn't crystal clear. My
impression is that the problem is that a python thread must acquire the
GIL in order to execute, and the strategy for deciding which thread
should get the GIL when multiple threads are waiting for it is not
based on priority. Is that correct?

Hi, Is there any way to increase/decrease a thread priority in

Not really, and as Python does not use a free-threading model,
it wouldn't work as you'd like anyway.
Search Google for Python GIL or Global Interpreter Lock and you
should learn enough to see why this is so.
