Python will get true threading support with the removal of the GIL (Global Interpreter Lock) in 3.13 (now available in the beta as an experimental option).

The GIL has long crippled Python’s threading capabilities, but will be getting true parallelism with the implementation of PEP 703.

What are you gonna do with real threads? 🤔

    Just downloaded the free-threading RC version via pyenv. Looking forward to taking it for a spin.
