Poll: Will Python ever lose the GIL?

I should say that I don't think it will be removed by Guido. He doesn't appear to see a need. However, if the main developers in the Python community decide it is necessary and does the work, it will be removed.

It's my one major gripe with an almost perfect language: I spend so much of my time fighting round this problem it is silly :(

I voted "yes" because ever's a long time. But I won't be holding my breath :-(
