GIL is a lock in Python that allows only one thread to execute Python bytecode at a time, ensuring thread safety and preventing race conditions.
Real-Time-Example:
Imagine a restaurant with 10 workers. Even though all workers are ready to take orders, there is only one billing counter. So only one worker can process a bill at a time. Similarly, in Python, even if multiple threads exist, only one thread can execute Python code at a time because of the GIL
