    Yeah, the GIL does not allow true parallelism, but you can still achieve concurrency if you use async non-blocking APIs and perform cooperative multi-tasking where you manually yield control back to the task scheduler/event loop -- which is what asyncio does in python. This is generally useful for I/O stuff: network, filesystem, etc..

    This book bundle is nice because it covers all the types of concurrency available in short and readable format.

    Oh, and of course you can use the `multiprocessing` and use process-based task pools for blocking stuff at the cost of IPC.
