[New-bugs-announce] [issue34128] Do not block threads when pickle/unpickle

[Martin Bammer]

New submission from Martin Bammer <mrbm74 at gmail.com>:

Hi,

the old and slow python implementation of pickle didn't block background
thread.
But the newer C-implementation blocks other threads while dump/load is
running.
Wouldn't it be possible to allow other threads during this time?
Especially could load/loads release the GIL, because Python objects are not available to the Python code until these functions have finished?

Regards,
Martin
