Free-threaded support? #2303

Open clin1234 opened 5 days ago

Has anyone here given thought on testing this module with the no-GIL version of the Python interpreter yet?

mhammond commented 4 days ago

I'm not aware of anyone looking at this. It's worth noting that there are quite a few places where the GIL is used to prevent concurrent access, so identifying these seems like the first step.

As far as CI builds go, https://github.com/actions/setup-python/issues/771 would be nice. But if it's somehow not available by the time pywin32 has nogil support, deadsnakes already offer a nogil python action: https://github.com/deadsnakes/action

deadsnakes is only tested on Ubuntu
