A followup on Concurrency within Python

&#62; I believe Python programmers want to write Python - not Java, nor .Net. What attracts us to Python is a clean syntax. If I want concurrency in Python, I don't want to have to call into java.util.concurrent.<p>A-freakin-men. Remove the GIL! (I know, I know, easier said than done).

Concurrency doesn't have to mean threading. I've used greenlet-based coroutines (<a href="http://pypi.python.org/pypi/greenlet" rel="nofollow">http://pypi.python.org/pypi/greenlet</a>) for concurrency in large projects. They work with the GIL, and I find it easier to write correct coroutine-based programs.
