Not an idiot, just lazy :-) Please try to implement your ideas, and I predict that you will find: 1. it is a lot of work to implement 2. it requires changes to all C files, in particular to extension modules outside the Python source tree proper. 3. performing the conversion, even in a semi-mechanical way, will introduce many new bugs, in the form of race conditions because of missing locks. Optionally, you may also find that the performance of the interpreter will decrease. I haven't really tried to completely understand your proposal, but you are right, in principle, that a global lock can be replaced with more fine-grained locks. However, this is really hard to do correctly - if it were simple, it would have been done long ago.
