Global Interpreter Lock
Explore the concept of the Global Interpreter Lock in Python and understand why it restricts parallel execution of threads. Discover how this design impacts the performance of CPU-bound programs while allowing I/O-bound programs to benefit from multithreading. Gain foundational knowledge of Python's interpreter behavior crucial for mastering concurrency.

Global Interpreter Lock
In one of the previous sections we discussed I/O and CPU bound programs. In this lesson, we'll understand why only I/O bound Python programs can leverage multithreading to speed ...
