GIL (Global Interpreter Lock) manages thread concurrency in CPython. Thread safety ensures thread-safe operations.

import threading

def thread_safe():
    lock = threading.Lock()
    with lock:
        print("This operation is thread-safe.")

thread = threading.Thread(target=thread_safe)
thread.start()
thread.join()
