    The last person who tried to get rid of the GIL ended up *slowing* cPython considerably.

    Last discussion I saw concluded that the GIL makes threaded programming considerably easier.

    A decent interprocess communication protocol would do more for solving the 'Python programs on multi-processor systems' IMHO.
