For the amount of multiprocess code I’ve written in Python, I’m embarrassed that this is the first I’m hearing about the noGIL build. Really excited to see this feature become the default, though it looks like it will take a while. GIL has definitely been a pain in the ass for fully utilizing multi-core systems.
