BrainFuck inspired scheduler successfully replaced the Python GIL

To clarify a little, this patch does not eliminate the GIL it just schedules the next thread to acquire the GIL using the BFS scheduling algorithm.<p>Also and perhaps more importantly this has not been incorporated into any version of python. It is just a patch on the bug tracker and realistically I doubt it has much chance of being accepted.

The title is wrong. Brain Fuck scheduler is not related to brainfuck language.

<i>The scheduler is a simplified implementation of the recent kernel Brain F</i><i>k Scheduler by the Linux hacker Con Kolivas</i><p>Not as fun now is it? Kolivas is a leader on scheduling, he can attribute his hacks to whatever joke language out there and that wont make them any less stellar.

As far as I understand, it just changes the way thread scheduling works, but doesn't make Python "properly multithreaded". That means it's still only one active non-native-extension thread running at any time. Could someone confirm it?<p>Edit: I guess janzer confirmed this at posting at the same time.

This is related to Python 3.2 only. In other words, this is not noteworthy.
