From b51479692b2175fe11a1387a3155911f009b841d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Benoit Chesneau Date: Fri, 20 Mar 2026 13:15:51 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 1/4] Add OWN_GIL subinterpreter execution to event loop pool This adds true parallel Python execution with OWN_GIL subinterpreters while keeping event loop coordination in the main interpreter. Key features: - Session management with process affinity (same PID -> same worker) - Sessions created automatically on first task from a process - Sessions cleaned up via process monitoring on process exit - Asyncio event loop per worker for coroutine support - Tasks run via run_until_complete() in worker's event loop - Results sent back via enif_send() to calling process New functions: - py_nif:owngil_create_session/1 - Create session in worker - py_nif:owngil_submit_task/7 - Submit async task to worker - py_nif:owngil_destroy_session/2 - Destroy session Configuration: {erlang_python, [{event_loop_pool_owngil, true}]} When enabled, py_event_loop_pool:create_task/3,4 and spawn_task/3,4 automatically route through OWN_GIL workers instead of the shared event loop. --- c_src/py_nif.c |
