Hypothesis is now thread-safe

https://simonwillison.net/2025/Aug/8/hypothesis/#atom-everything(simonwillison.net)
The Python property-based testing library, Hypothesis, is now thread-safe. This library allows developers to write tests that automatically generate a wide range of inputs to find edge cases. The new thread safety is a critical development in light of Python's ongoing effort to remove the Global Interpreter Lock (GIL) and introduce a "free threading" build. Previously, the lack of thread safety in Hypothesis meant that other packages could not use it to test their compatibility with the new free-threaded environment. This update removes a significant blocker and helps advance the entire Python ecosystem's readiness for GIL-free concurrency.
