In nogil CPython (which has already landed in CPython 3.13), you can probably just use threading.RLock
instead – unless you're asking about fastrlock's C-API.
The change that CPython needed seems to be this: https://github.com/python/cpython/commit/f366e215044e348659df814c27bf70e78907df21 It uses atomics, which seems reasonable.
The same can probably be implemented for fastrlock
. PR welcome.
Hi,
Recently PEP 703 has been approved, which removes the GIL in Python. The timeline of the change is far, however I'd like to ask, is there a particular plan of
fastrlock
working without the GIL?I'm particularly asking, since from the How does it work section I understand that
fastrlock
is inherently coupled with GIL.Ideally
fastrlock
API might stay unchanged, so that any project usingfastrlock
does not require code changes.
