Kristján Valur Jónsson added the comment: Closing this issue. It is largely superseded. For our Python 2.7 branches, we have a custom "GIL" lock which can have different inherent semantics from the common "Lock". In particular, we can implement a "fair" PyGIL_Handoff() function to be used to yield the GIL to a waiting thread.
