They’ve been talking about removing the GIL since I was in primary school. My children are in primary school now. I’ll believe it when I see it.

If you write C/C++ libraries for Python you can disable the GIL

I believe it was announced that 3.14 will make it an optional flag, so here’s to hoping.

There’s now been an investment of dev time from the company formerly known as Facebook to try to push it in 3.12 or 3.14.
