Python: Plot some data (matplotlib) without GIL
- by BandGap
Hello all,
my problem is the GIL of course. While I'm analysing data it would be nice to present some plots in between (so it's not too boring waiting for results)
But the GIL prevents this (and this is bringing me to the point of asking myself if Python was such a good idea in the first place).
I can only display the plot, wait till the user closes it and commence calculations after that. A waste of time obviously.
I already tried the subprocess and multiprocessing modules but can't seem to get them to work.
Any thoughts on this one?
Thanks
