Yes, it is still possible. Create an object with global state, alter it from different threads without locking and there you go, the state of object is not consistent (threads can not rely on the state), you might even get race condition. GIL protects only internal state of VM, not your objects' state. -- Jarek Zgoda Skype: jzgoda | GTalk: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | voice: +48228430101 "We read Knuth so you don't have to."
