At some point we added a way to do it (basically you can do it yourself, by writing a one-line function in C and calling it). We no longer do that: it's too much of a mess if you start having non-GIL-protected code written in RPython. Either you are extremely, extremely careful, or random things will explode. What we do instead, e.g. in the stm branches, is to write more C code. For the complete parts that really need to run without any GIL protection, C is better than RPython after all. A bientôt, Armin. _______________________________________________ pypy-dev mailing list pypy-dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pypy-dev
