I had a whole long email about exactly what I was doing, but I think I'll get to the point instead. I'm trying to implement a python concurrency API and would like to use cpython to do it. To do that, I would like to remove the GIL.
You should review the work Greg Stein did to remove the GIL in 1.5.2; although the interpreter core has changed considerably since then, I believe the basic principles of the GIL are the same.
