Right now, I'm faced with the prospect of Apple's next OS including Python 2.7, and being saddled with the current Python 2.x terrible multicore behavior for the next 5 years or so. We badly need some kind of patch for this in the 2.x branch.
The matter of the GIL seems far less urgent to those of us that don't see threading as a particularly good way to exploit multiple cores.
Either way, with the first 2.7 release candidate out soon, it's already too late to contemplate significant changes to the GIL for that release.
Cheers, Nick.
