Python Concurrency
May 18, 2009
Attended David Beazley’s python concurrency class over the weekend in Chicago. We were schooled on the horrific nature of the GIL, coroutines, generators, threads, processes, etc., etc. – a grand tour of nearly everything you can do to make multiple things happen at once. It was an excellent class and I would encourage anyone who wants to learn more about concurrency with python to attend future classes.
Mr. Beazley also has a very good collection of slides on coroutines/generators probably best described on the oubiwann blog but I will list here as well.
From the class a concurrency mailing list has sprung up on google groups: http://groups.google.com/group/python-concurrency
