The autoGIL module provides a function installAutoGIL() that automatically locks and unlocks Python’s Global Interpreter Lock when running an event loop.
Note
This module has been removed in Python 3.x.
Install an observer callback in the event loop (CFRunLoop) for the current thread, that will lock and unlock the Global Interpreter Lock (GIL) at appropriate times, allowing other Python threads to run while the event loop is idle.
Availability: OSX 10.1 or later.
