Reading the headline I couldn’t help but think “But why?”. Actually quite interesting and valuable implementation info if you’re ever doing threading with CPython.
Yes, I think the headline would be better as "Python's GIL explained in Python code"
When I first read about pypy a decade ago, I also asked myself "but why". Now it is one of the most interesting projects out there and any talk they give tends to be really worth listening to. Their talk on Software Transactional Memory blew my mind.

Reading the article will clarify.
Reading the rest of the post you're replying to might help.
