Removing the GIL sounds like it will make typical Python programs slower and will introduce a lot of complexity?
What is the real world benefit we will get in return?
In the rare case where I need to max out more than one CPU core, I usually implement that by having the OS run multiple instances of my program and put a bit of parallelization logic into the program itself. Like in the mandelbrot example the author gives, I would simply tell each instance of the program which part of the image it will calculate.
