Fair enough. At the same time though I do believe that the existence of the GIL in the most widespread Python implementation has effectively dragged back the language as a whole in terms of parallel programming.
This is getting off-topic, but I think that if you're parallellizing pure Python code, you're really doing the wrong thing. The same code in a faster language(*) would run faster on a single core than the Python code on many cores.
