Wondering if Python threads can actually improve performance?
In this video, we break down how threading works with the GIL, when it speeds things up, and when it just adds overhead.

✅ Learn:
💠When to use threads for I/O-bound vs CPU-bound tasks and C-extension
tasks (like NumPy)
💠Why Python's GIL doesn’t make your code thread-safe
💠How to fix race conditions (like broken print() output)
💠Real examples using Thread, NumPy, and custom timers

Whether you’re handling API calls, file I/O, or data processing, this guide will help you decide if threading is the right tool for the job.
