I just killed GIL!!!

[sturlamolden]

Hello Guys...

I just had one moment of exceptional clarity, during which realized
how I could get the GIL out of my way... It's so simple, I cannot help
wondering why nobody has thought of it before. Duh! Now I am going to
sit and and marvel at my creation for a while, and then go to bed
(it's past 2:30 a.m.) Tomorrow I will contemplate whether to sell this
little secret for big bucks, give it away for free, or just keep it to
myself... :-)

Now you are probably thinking I reinvented the gunpowder, and are
running multiple processes. Not so. I am not running parallel
processes, like parallel python or the processing module in cheese
shop. I am running multiple THREADS. In fact, I am just using
threading.Thread. The source code is pure Python, so there is no C
magic, and I only used the stuff that's already there in the standard
library. So, I just made CPython do what everyone claim to be
impossible. One single process of CPython is using all the cpu power
of my dual-core laptop.
