You're right, the GIL certainly doesn't automatically make all code thread-safe. However, it does make some operations that would normally be problematic in a multithreaded context thread-safe. Such as: appending to a list, updating a dict, modifying object attributes, and others.

The no-gil fork of Python makes the builtin collections thread-safe, so that will remain not an issue (see the "Collection thread-safety" section of the design doc https://docs.google.com/document/d/18CXhDb1ygxg-YXNBJNzfzZsD... )
