Asked By CuriousCoder99 On

I'm currently using multiprocessing in my Python projects, but I'm really keen to avoid the hassle of copying data to processes due to the overhead it causes. I'm wondering if Python 3.14 will officially support free threading, or if I should hold off on using it in production until version 3.15 comes out. What do you all think?

The readiness of free threading in 3.14 largely depends on the libraries you're using. If those libraries are thread-safe, you might be in good shape.

While free threading might not be labeled as experimental anymore, I wouldn’t rush to implement it. If you're planning on doing cross-thread resource sharing, especially beyond just reading values, it’s wise to proceed with caution. There could be better solutions coming in the next release.
