As usual, when someone makes a move towards the Coveted Feature, people promptly insist that gradual progress is impossible and the only way is with every problem being solved at once in the hundred million modules—each somehow taking a year to undo the use of global variables. I.e. same as it was for the past twenty years when gradual progress could've been made. Deference is again made towards Numpy, the de-facto implementation of Python. No trace of choice is offered to users who would perhaps use a handful of modules from those that happen to be converted at a point in time, or use Python in ways that aren't practical now.
The actual problem, of course, is that multi-threading Python would still be slow, and those who see it as just a shell to run C modules, do have a point.
