Pypy still has a GIL. GIL-free seems to be one of the explicit goals of this project.

  >Pypy still has a GIL. Not strictly true, http://doc.pypy.org/en/latest/stm.html http://doc.pypy.org/en/latest/stm.html. In general for the main project however, this is true.

    Pypy still has a gil. Pypy is experimenting with non-GILed versions, and in fact there are people actively working to remove the GIL from pypy. But the same can be said of cpython (the gilectomy), and yet I don't think that you'd say "not strictly true" to "cpython still has a GIL".
