PEP 703 [0] discusses making the GIL optional in certain builds of the CPython interpreter. This build option was available experiementally in Python 3.13 but has since been stabilized in Python 3.14 per PEP 779 [1]. According to the porting guide [2], there is no strict requirement that C extensions must be thread-safe. Experiments have shown that no logic changes are required if callers use sychronization mechanisms provided by the Python standard library. The documentation has been updated to call this out specifically using terminology from the porting guide [3].
