• [$] Deterministic testing for multithreaded Python

    From LWN.net@618:250/24 to All on Sat Sep 5 06:40:09 2026
    Python's support for multithreaded programs has improved considerably over
    the last few years with the advent of the "free-threaded" version of the language. But
    testing multithreaded programs is notoriously difficult, because the
    underlying host system determines the thread-execution ordering, which adds
    an element of non-determinism. At PyCon US, Larry Hastings gave a talk (YouTube ;ideo)
    about his blanket project,
    which is meant to provide mechanisms for deterministic testing of
    multithreaded Python code.
