On: Inside the Python GIL

"""•Bias : For parallel computing involving heavy CPU processing, I much prefer message passing and cooperating processes to thread programming"""

Of course you prefer it .. you have no choice!

Baloney. Many of us who do want better threading in python still prefer message passing and processes. That's nothing new. Different tools work well for different jobs.

Message passing and cooperating processes do have a lot of real advantages: - race conditions are almost eliminated - deadlock is more easily avoided - no need for locks
