I'm not an expert in CPython's internals either, but import lock does not need to equal global interpreter lock. I do agree though, that this behavior isn't intuitive at all.
- sp332 14y agoGIL stands for both Global Interpreter Lock and Global Import Lock.
- famousactress 14y agoYeah, obviously two totally different things. Just a cheeky title since I found it humorous that they both ended up with the same acronyms and the GIL at this point is well understood/feared/discussed while this import lock is something that I hadn't ever heard of.
