Am I the only one who sort of fears the day when Python loses the GIL? I don't think Python developers know what they’re asking for. I don't really trust complex multithreaded code in any language. Python, with its dynamic nature, I trust least of all.

As a Python dabbler, what should I be reading to ensure my multi-threaded code in Python is in fact safe.

Honestly unless youre willing to devote a solid 4+ hours to learning about multi threading stick with ayncio

I'm willing to invest an afternoon learning. That's been the premise of my entire career!
