Advanced Python Programming

A brief overview of mastering concurrency in Python

Python is one of the most popular programming languages out there, and for good reason. The language comes with numerous libraries and frameworks that facilitate high-performance computing, whether it be software development, web development, data analysis, or machine learning. Yet, there have been discussions among developers criticizing Python, which often revolve around the Global Interpreter Lock (GIL) and the difficulty of implementing concurrent and parallel programs that it leads to.

While concurrency and parallelism do behave differently in Python than in other common programming languages, it is still possible for programmers to implement Python programs that run concurrently or ...
