Guido has replied to Gross's announcement to observe that his performance improvements are not tied to removing the GIL and could be accepted separately. But he doesn't reject Gross's work outright, and if the same release that includes the GIL removal also delivers a concrete performance upgrade, I suspect that Guido would be fine with it. His concern is, after all, practical, to do with the actual use of python and not some architecture principle.
- cormacrelf 5y agoI'm not saying this is a good idea (it is not, please don't do this to your open source community of choice!) but it'd be a pretty funny use of copyright licensing to reserve all rights on the non-GIL improvements unless the GIL ones were also merged. Strong-arming an open source project with sheer programming skill.
