🧵🛞 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:

🎉 Please welcome our two newest Python core developers! 🎈🐍🎈

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.

And just for fun I made a chart of the number of new core developers per year!

Yay, I managed to use "enableable" and "unique selling point" in an official Python Steering Council acceptance, and it survived all rounds of edits by other SC members :P

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."

For the general plan, see:

And Sam Gross has submitted PEP 703 (Making the Global Interpreter Lock Optional in CPython) to the steering council for consideration for Python 3.13!

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.
