Sure, you need to know what your are doing. But many workloads involve stateless item-by-item data processing loops, and speeding them up by a factor N would be as simple as this in a no-GIL world. I don't see why this technology should be denied to Python developers.

Work is ongoing on per-GIL subinterpreters and it will soon allow using independent interpreter threads, which should make it relatively easy to achieve this. For example using concurrent.futures.
