If you _want_ to be free of the GIL, you are not _doing_ anything, and that may or may not be wrong. If you are complaining about the GIL, I think you are doing something wrong, because complaining doesn't help progress at all. I think neither was the case in this thread - the guy claimed that he actually did something about the GIL, and now we are all waiting for him to also tell us what it is that he did. I think it is somewhat wrong to not tell in the first place, but this is free software, and choosing not to contribute isn't inherently wrong. Maybe the guy is making fun of us; whether that is wrong or not depends on your notion of humor. Regards, Martin -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
