Session
In this presentation, aimed at Python beginners interested in parallel processing, we will explain the fundamental concepts of the Global Interpreter Lock (GIL) in Python and discuss its impact on programming. Specifically, we will touch upon the ability to disable the GIL in Python 3.13 and provide practical advice on how beginners can approach the GIL to achieve efficient concurrent processing.
