Running Multiple Interpreters in Python Code – Speed
A new PEP-0734 has been accepted to enhance Python's capability to run multiple interpreters within a single process. This development aims to improve multitasking by allowing separate Global Interpreter Locks (GILs) for each interpreter. The new concurrent.interpreters module will provide a user-friendly API for creating and managing these interpreters.
