Hi, I see that I can initialize python for multi thread support by calling PyEval_InitThreads().
I'm under the impression that when the GIL is turned on, python can slow down a measurable amount. Since I only need to use multiple threads for a portion of my program, after I call PyEval_InitThreads() and use the threads, is there a way to disable multi threading support in python? (I noticed that _PyEval_FiniThreads was undocumented and presumably shouldn't be called) I would only want to do this if it would increase run time performance in the main thread. So if that assumption is wrong, please let me know. Thanks, Bob -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
