python3.13-freethreading Subpackage of python3.13

The provisional Free Threading (PEP 703) build of Python. CPython’s global interpreter lock (“GIL”) prevents multiple threads from executing Python code at the same time. The GIL is an obstacle to using multi-core CPUs from Python efficiently. This build of Python is built with the --disable-gil option. It lets the interpreter run Python code without the global interpreter lock and with the necessary changes needed to make the interpreter thread-safe.
