Isn't actor-style programming a bit problematic when your interpreter has a GIL ? Aren't actor supposed to be executed in parallel for maximum performance ?

- untothebreach 12y agoit is using eventlet in the background, so for IO-bound tasks you will see concurrency, but I would imagine that CPU-bound tasks will still be hampered by the GIL in the same way that vanilla Python is.
- klibertp 12y agoI don't think that there is a requirement for Actors to run in parallel. Rather, they have to run concurrently, and may run in parallel - I think.
