#pep703 — Public Fediverse posts

Another #PyConUS video that I care about, the #Python Steering Council keynote. I wasn't on stage this year! because I'm no longer on the SC 😂 but they did cover something I care about a lot: Free-threaded Python #PEP703

I've been pestering the SC a lot to say something about the state of it in 3.14, and boy, did they indulge me. Six and a half minutes of the 30 minute keynote is about the efforts to remove the GIL.

Oh look I made it to #PyConUS! Looking forward to talking _a lot_ about free-threaded Python (PEP 703) and not do any mandatory Steering Council or PSF Board things! 😅

Still more than happy to talk _about_ SC and PSF stuff though! But you will probably get a batch of look-how-cool-and-awesome about PEP 703 for free 😂

#Python #PEP703

You know how sometimes a little hobby side-project can get a bit out of hand? An unexpected performance regression on speed.python.org that only showed up on GCC 5 (and 7) led me to set up more rigorous tracking of Python performance when using different compilers. I'm still backfilling data but I think it's pretty awesome to see how much, and how consistently, free-threaded Python performance has improved since 3.13:

🧵🛞 I made a thing!

https://hugovk.github.io/free-threaded-wheels/ tracks how many of the top 360 PyPI packages have free-threaded wheels.

🟢 Green packages (currently 3%) offer has free-threaded wheels

⚪ Uncoloured packages (82%) offer pure-Python wheels

🟠 Orange packages (16%) have no wheels ready for free-threading (yet!)

See also Quansight Labs' https://py-free-threading.github.io/tracking/ for a smaller yet fine-grained tracker that also includes build tools.

🚀🧵🐍 Big thanks to @lysnikolaou of Quansight Labs for helping us get @pillow ready for free-threaded Python 3.13 (we did some work at the @europython sprints).

See https://labs.quansight.org/blog/free-threaded-python-rollout and https://py-free-threading.github.io to learn more.

We also upload nightly free-threaded (cp313t) wheels to help the community test:
https://anaconda.org/scientific-python-nightly-wheels/pillow/

And we'll upload them to PyPI as part of the Q3 release in October.

🐍🧪 Python 3.13 beta 2 is out!

https://discuss.python.org/t/3-13-0b2-now-available/55056

The macOS installer joins the Windows installer in adding an option to install free-threaded binaries as python3.13t, making it even easier to try it out.

See https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/120098 for all the details, and https://dev.to/hugovk/help-us-test-free-threaded-python-without-the-gil-1hgf for an overview.

🐍🧪 Python 3.13.0 is due out in October 2024 and work is underway to implement *experimental support* for PEP 703 "Making the Global Interpreter Lock Optional in CPython".

As the Steering Council noted in their acceptance of the PEP, to succeed it's important to have community support.

I wrote a little guide on how you can help test out the beta in your project, and help us find bugs in CPython:

Sam Gross is the author of PEP 703 and leading the work to remove the GIL

Nikita Sobolev is the fourth most active contributor (since 2020) and was recently made a @ThePSF Fellow.

The Python Steering Council has now formally accepted PEP 703 ("Making the Global Interpreter Lock Optional in CPython"):

"In short, the SC accepts PEP 703, but with clear provisio: that the rollout be gradual and break as little as possible, and that we can roll back any changes that turn out to be too disruptive – which includes potentially rolling back all of PEP 703 entirely if necessary (however unlikely or undesirable we expect that to be)."

Big Python news! 🐍📰

"Thank you, everyone, for responding to the poll on the no-GIL proposal. It’s clear that the overall sentiment is positive, both for the general idea and for PEP 703 specifically. The Steering Council is also largely positive on both. We intend to accept PEP 703, although we’re still working on the acceptance details."

Will your #python code will run on #nogil (#PEP703)?

It's easy to find out...

Here is a GitHub Action I created to run and test your project code with nogil python (by adding just a few lines of yaml to your project's config).

https://github.com/marketplace/actions/nogil-python

My hope is this helps people get familiar with nogil, begin testing their code, and providing feedback.
