As someone not particularly tuned into the Python ecosystem, what is "nogil", though?
- mehdix 3y agono GIL (Global Interpreter Lock)
- TheRealPomax 3y agoThat covers the "no" part, what's a global interpreter lock?
- charcircuit 3y agoIt is a global lock that is required to run the interpreter
- TheRealPomax 3y agoCheers. That does sound like it would impair actually being useful on multicore, multithreading cpus (which of course has been all of them for basically the last two decades)
- foundart 3y agono Global Interpreter Lock
- foundart 3y agoIts presence makes it difficult for python to run multi-threaded.
