What does release the GIL mean?
GIL = Global Interpreter Lock. It's a lock that the Python interpreter uses to protect its data structures, and it only allows one thread in a process to execute Python code at a time. A well-written extension module will release the GIL while it's doing something time-consuming that doesn't touch Python objects, to give other threads a chance to run Python code. I don't know whether Pillow does this, but quite likely it does. Try doing the image loading in another thread and see if it will run concurrently with your timer. -- Greg -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pyglet-users" group.
