PEP 684: A Per-Interpreter GIL
------------------------------
Sub-interpreters may now be created with a unique GIL per interpreter.
This allows Python programs to take full advantage of multiple CPU
cores.
Use the new :c:func:`Py_NewInterpreterFromConfig` function to
create an interpreter with its own GIL::
PyInterpreterConfig config = {
.check_multi_interp_extensions = 1,
.gil = PyInterpreterConfig_OWN_GIL,
};
PyThreadState *tstate = NULL;
PyStatus status = Py_NewInterpreterFromConfig(&tstate, &config);
if (PyStatus_Exception(status)) {
return -1;
}
/* The new interpeter is now active in the current thread. */
For further examples how to use the C-API for sub-interpreters with a
per-interpreter GIL, see :source:`Modules/_xxsubinterpretersmodule.c`.
A Python API is anticipated for 3.13. (See :pep:`554`.)

(Contributed by Eddie Elizondo in :gh:`84436`.)
* :pep:`684`: Added the new :c:func:`Py_NewInterpreterFromConfig`
function and :c:type:`PyInterpreterConfig`, which may be used
to create sub-interpreters with their own GILs.
(See :ref:`whatsnew312-pep684` for more info.)
(Contributed by Eric Snow in :gh:`104110`.)
* In the limited C API version 3.12, :c:func:`Py_INCREF` and
:c:func:`Py_DECREF` functions are now implemented as opaque function calls to
hide implementation details.
