This is the culmination of PEP 684 (and of my 8-year long multi-core Python project)!
Each subinterpreter may now be created with its own GIL (via Py_NewInterpreterFromConfig()). If not so configured then the interpreter will share with the main interpreter--the status quo since subinterpreters were added decades ago. The main interpreter always has its own GIL and subinterpreters from Py_NewInterpreter() will always share with the main interpreter.
