Not necessarily -- the web processing is probably I/O bound, in which case the GIL will likely be released a lot of the time. But if you want to be sure the GIL won't get in the way, you would need to run the web and update tasks in separate processes. -- Greg -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

That's right. Update task has precedence. Looks like it is not an easy task. Regards. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Threading is notoriously bug-prone, and is best avoided in most situations. The OP claimed that the timing of the update task is critical, and needs to take priority over serving web pages. Coroutines won't be able to achieve that. -- Greg -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
