Hello Guys... I just had one moment of exceptional clarity, during which realized how I could get the GIL out of my way... It's so simple, I cannot help wondering why nobody has thought of it before. Duh! Now I am going to sit and and marvel at my creation for a while, and then go to bed (it's past 2:30 a.m.) Tomorrow I will contemplate whether to sell this little secret for big bucks, give it away for free, or just keep it to myself... :-)
Now you are probably thinking I reinvented the gunpowder, and are running multiple processes. Not so. I am not running parallel processes, like parallel python or the processing module in cheese shop. I am running multiple THREADS. In fact, I am just using threading.Thread. The source code is pure Python, so there is no C magic, and I only used the stuff that's already there in the standard library. So, I just made CPython do what everyone claim to be impossible. One single process of CPython is using all the cpu power of my dual-core laptop. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
