The Python Steering Council has announced
its intent to accept PEP
703 (Making the Global Interpreter Lock Optional in CPython), with
initial support possibly showing up in the 3.13 release. There are still
some details to work out, though.
We want to be very careful with backward compatibility. We do not
want another Python 3 situation, so any changes in third-party code
needed to accommodate no-GIL builds should just work in with-GIL
builds (although backward compatibility with older Python versions
will still need to be addressed). This is not Python 4. We are
still considering the requirements we want to place on ABI
compatibility and other details for the two builds and the effect
on backward compatibility.
