Free-Threaded Python Unleashed and Other Python News for July 2025 - Real Python
Briefly

CPython's stability and concurrency improved with the latest release. Python 3.14 Beta 3 incorporates support for a no-GIL build, transitioning it to a first-class capability. This change allows Python to utilize multiple CPU cores more effectively, particularly benefiting data science and web workloads. Additionally, this beta introduces PEP 734, which integrates multiple interpreters directly into the standard library, promoting concurrency. The enhancements solidify Python 3.14's position as a more powerful tool for developers and users alike.
The third beta of Python 3.14 now officially supports the no-GIL build for CPython, signaling a new era of multi-core Python.
The acceptance of PEP 779 promotes the GIL-less build from experimental to supported, allowing for true multithreading in data science and web workloads.
Python 3.14 also introduces PEP 734, which adds Python subinterpreters to the standard library, making concurrency approaches more accessible.
With a supported no-GIL build, Python community can prepare for a future where free-threaded builds become the default.
