2:55, explain why this complete in 3 seconds then?

import threading


import time



def worker():
"""thread worker function"""
time.sleep(3)
print 'Worker'

for i in range(5):
t =
t.start()

From what you said it should take 15 seconds.

Is there any way to check the 5ms locking period of GIL in Python 3.2? Can you give an example where CPU bound job gets precedence over IO bound job in Python 3.
