Supporting free-threaded Python
Madicken, Nathan Goldbaum
This BOF will serve as a forum for maintainers and users of scientific python packages to discuss support for thread-based parallelism in the free-threaded build of CPython. Replacing approaches to parallelism in many APIs that leverage multiprocessing with Python threads is very attractive, but adding thread safety to libraries after the fact may be challenging. Users can share workflows they want to attack with the free-threaded interpreter. Maintainers can seek advice and offer their experience so far adding support.
