No. The GIL is per-interpreter, thus per-process. Two different Python processes will each have their own GIL (and thus be able to run concurrently on different CPU cores), even if they are running from the same virtualenv. So virtualenv is not a workaround for the GIL, it's irrelevant. But running multiple Python processes is a workaround for the GIL.
