I also don't know much about this subject, but I found this introduction quite helpful: What Is the Python Global Interpreter Lock (GIL)?

Further down it does mention that currently you would use multiple processes (each one having its ownn GIL) to do this, but I guess this would allow you to use threads instead, if I understand it correctly
