#6 One issue about multi-threading on python for DotNet

[Longhui Xiong]

Hi there,

I am using python for DotNet, I have to say, it is great.

As we know, cpython has the Global Interpreter Lock (GIL) on multi-threading. So it can not use multi-core.

So I have one question, if I import CLR and use System.Threading on python for .net, but don't use cpython threading,

My question: Does it still has GIL on multi-threading if I use DotNet threading lib? Can it use multi-core use DotNet threading lib.

I know IronPython has no GIL and multi-threaded code can use multi core processors. So I pay attention this issue, on python for dotnet, if I use DotNet threading lib instead of cPython threading lib, Can multi-threaded code use multi core, it still has GIL?

I look forward to your reply.

Regards
