Native threads that are locked against each other by a GIL, are still native threads, but less useful native threads. An important purpose/use of native threads is that they are scheduled by the OS and not hindered by a GIL, so that in multicore machines multiple threads can run concurrently.

CCL does that. Python with the GIL not.
