:synopsis: Global Interpreter Lock handling in event loops.

The :mod:`autoGIL` module provides a function :func:`installAutoGIL` that
|
||
|
|
automatically locks and unlocks Python's Global Interpreter Lock when running an
|
||
|
|
event loop.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.. exception:: AutoGILError
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Raised if the observer callback cannot be installed, for example because the
|
||
|
|
current thread does not have a run loop.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.. function:: installAutoGIL()
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
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.
