Asked about How asyncio actually works

What is the GIL and when does it matter?

An answer that works

A lock in CPython that allows one thread to execute Python code at a time. It matters for CPU-bound Python code, where threads give no speedup and processes are needed. It matters much less for I/O-bound work and for libraries like NumPy that release it during heavy computation.

Reading an answer is not being able to give one. The section that teaches this is How asyncio actually works, 4 hours of Async & concurrency.
