The GIL should be released: - for CPU-heavy external functions (e.g. compression, cryptography) - for external functions which wait for I/O > Re PyTuple_SET_ITEM...yes that's also a possibility but it would then > hide genuine bugs. Well, as long as your monitor only increfs the tuple and doesn't mutate it, there shouldn't be any problem. We use PyTuple_SET_ITEM in many other places. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15108> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
