This is the repository for the base image for Python without the GIL (Global Interpreter Lock). This allows for true multi-threading in Python, boosting your apps' processing capabilities. Please use it as a base for all of your high performance Python projects!

Supported architectures: linux/amd64, linux/amd64/v2, linux/arm64, and linux/arm/v7.

To test that the build is truly multi-threaded, simply run the default command for the image: docker run jjhickman/python-nogil:[TAG]

You should see output like the following:
