Rene Dudfield <ill...@users.sourceforge.net> added the comment: hello,
CPU intensive programs can also benefit from the GIL if they use code which releases the GIL around the CPU intensive parts. Some parts of python do this, as do the numpy and pygame extensions amongst others. Another good, but separate, documentation patch would be to document which functions release the GIL. cheers, ---------- nosy: +illume _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6269> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
