Trying to find if python supports CAS operations, block free programming, concurrency like in java?

Python does not have these operations. Java has more complex concurrency controls than Python.

CPython (typical implementation of almost all users) has a global interpreter lock that you want to understand.



Jython is a JVM implementation of Python and therefore shares many of the characteristics of Java concurrency.
