David Beazley: mind-blowing presentation about how the Python GIL actually works and why it's even worse than most people even imagine.
Slides: http://www.dabeaz.com/python/GIL.pdf
The opening act: Asynchronous vs. Threaded Python http://blip.tv/file/2232349
That guy in the crowd is obnoxious. He isn't really saying anything that people who'd be listening to this don't already get, and seems to think that presenter is stupid too.
Great talk David. Thanks for the info - it sounds like a really worthy topic for some more discussion.
Attended the "GIL isn't evil" talk at EuroPython 2009, by Russel Winder. The slides are here: http://www.concertant.com/Presentations/euroPython2009_GILIsntEvil.pdf Enjoy... :)
