Examples Demonstrating Free-Threaded Python

This page gathers examples showing how to use free-threaded Python to speed up code using the Python threading module. In all cases, the free-threaded build outperforms the GIL-enabled build since the GIL-enabled build does not scale well due to lock contention.

• Mandelbrot Set Visualization
• Monte Carlo Simulation
• Web Scraping with asyncio

External examples:

• Benchmarking a web service on the free-threaded build
• Improved Data Loading on GPUs with Threads
• Using AtomicDict.reduce() for Multithreaded Aggregation

We'd love to have more examples! See the contribution guide if you're interested in adding more use-cases that show off the free-threaded build.
