I've been playing around with the disabled GIL build and though I use threads fairly extensively in my projects, it's been smooth sailing so far. I feel like my GUI scripts might be a bit more responsive now? (I tend to farm out user events to dedicated threads, so this is entirely possible.)

But overall, everything is stable and awesome! I'm so excited! This has been a long time coming for Python.

What a refreshingly information dense blog without the typical annoying web page behaviors (consent pop-ups, join our mailing list, etc). Thanks for sharing.

Wdym? It's a text about the lesser known features and changes in Python 3.13.

There's some confusing code there. What does it do?

You mean the code under "The annotation change nobody asked for"? That's not intended to do anything, it's supposed to just be valid Python code as an annotation. Basically, they're trying to break the type hinting system.

I see like 20 lines of code and an image. Is there more?

I don't think so. I see two code snippets, and each has a clear explanation preceding it.
