Yes rust has user friendly tooling that's far superior to pip poetry pipenv and venv etc

Since rust Python can theoretically access Tokio does it make it avoid the cpython gil issues

RustPython still uses the GIL. The GIL is not a consequence of technical limitations in the language used for the interpreter, meaning you could also remove the GIL in CPython. But it’s a design decision that makes many things in the interpreter and the code simpler.

RustPython doesn't use GIL at all. RustPython use individual lock for each data type. So RustPython has more multithreading bugs.

You mean more multithreaded bugs are possible in the Python code that it's running, right? Not that RustPython itself has more multithreading bugs?

RustPython itself has more bugs. e.g. `dict()` doesn't work well on some multithread scenario yet.

Why does rust python need to use Gil

Is it an artificial artifact or is it necessary to make rust python work?

pip/poetry/venv are all for python code, whereas the op is talking about building the CPython interpreter itself which is written in C. Hence makefiles etc.
