Hi all, I wish to find out what the Global Interpreter Lock is and its relevance regarding the serving of high traffic Python sites. My understanding from what i read is that its a state whereby only one interpreter can be invoked on a physical machine. How does this impact performance of web apps that receive a high rate of requests? Do scripts wait in some marshalled queue for a certain period until their turn to be interpreted, or can multiple simultaneous requests be processed in parallel by the Python interpreter?
Please clear my confusion regarding this topic. Any explanation would be appreciated. Best regards, -- Lloyd Dube
