explicitly disable GIL? #192

Description

@orbeckst

I am running the tests on Linux x86_64, Python 3.14 and get the message

======================================================= warnings summary =======================================================
<frozen importlib._bootstrap>:491
  <frozen importlib._bootstrap>:491: RuntimeWarning: The global interpreter lock (GIL) has been enabled to load module 'distopia.pydistopia', which has not declared that it can run safely without the GIL. To override this behavior and keep the GIL disabled (at your own risk), run with PYTHON_GIL=0 or -Xgil=0.

-- Docs: https://docs.pytest.org/en/stable/how-to/capture-warnings.html
=============================================== 193 passed, 1 warning in 18.78s ================================================

that suggests one could disable the GIL.

I am trying

PYTHON_GIL=0 pytest -vvv

and all the tests still pass (and the warning disappeared).

Is it possible to explicitly disable the GIL for the import?
