I think kodi on linux can use python 3.12 but other platforms ship with a built in python of 3.8 or 3.0.1... it's a bit unclear.
Kodi I believe uses sub interpreters to speed up plugin launch and 3.12 has removed the GIL when launching many sub-interpreters at once which should make IO and api calls faster and allow parallel execution of plugins to be smoother.
An example where this happens is a skin with many widgets that load plugins when it initially starts up. Many plugins will run at the same time to load the lists.
I was curious to know if anyone has done tests to see if this does run faster on python 3.12?
