We were just talking about the dreaded GIL at the last PySIG meeting: http://dlslug.org/pipermail/python-talk/2008-March/000721.html The PySoy project is a game engine focused on making Python's runtime a better citizen for game developers, yielding the CPU and resources in a more timely manner to let the GPUs do their thing with 3-D graphics, keeping the sound running smoothly, etc. Lead developer Arc Riley gave a very interesting presentation on the projects effort's to create multiple threads outside of the normal Python runtime single-threaded model: http://docs.python.org/api/threads.html http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-3000/2007-May/007414.html The Global Interpreter Lock is a design feature of Python. -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
