How would this really help python though? This doesn't solve the difficult problem, which is that python objects don't support parallel access by multiple threads/processes, no? Concurrent threads, yes, but only one thread can be operating on a python object at a time (I'm simplifying here for brevity).

There are already means of passing around bulk data with zero copy characteristics in python, but there's a lot of bureaucracy around it. A true solution must work with the GIL (or remove it altogether), no?
