The global interpreter lock is a property of the current implementation of
Python, not of the language itself.  At one point in the past Greg Stein
created a set of patches that eliminated the lock.  While it's perhaps
convenient to use now, it may not always exist.  I'm not so sure that it
should be used as a motivator for changes to libraries in the standard
distribution.
