With the release of Python 3.13 and with the experimental removal of the Global Interpreter Lock (GIL), the most popular language in the world now has support for free threads.
Python Free-Threading offers a roadmap to this paradigm shift. The book goes through some theory, but mainly the practice of parallel programming with multi-core Python threads.
Fundamentals: Concurrency, Parallelism, Processes, Threads, Speedup, Amdahl's Law.
Parallel Patterns: MapReduce, Message Passing, Producer-Consumer, and Actors.
Thread Safety: Learn to avoid the pitfalls of race conditions.
Case Studies: See free-threading in action with a number of samples and how they perform.
Designed for intermediate to advanced Python developers who want to learn more about the practice of parallel programming.
