[PyQt] Global Interpreter Lock

[Jason Voegele]

I am a relative newcomer to Python and I don't know much about the Global 
Interpreter Lock (GIL) in general.  However, I am developing a PyQt 
application that makes fairly heavy use of QThread to perform multiple tasks 
concurrently.  I've heard some vague statements that PyQt manages the GIL 
automatically, but can someone give a more precise statement about how the GIL 
works for PyQt applications, especially when QThread is involved?  Are there 
any gotchas that I need to look out for?

Thanks.

I can remember things that *have* happened before ...
