 # Instructions append
 
+````exercim/note
+Python doesn't support "true" concurrency due to the [Global Interpreter Lock][GIL].
+While work is ongoing to create support for [free-threading in Python][free-threading], it is still experimental.
+Current standard library solutions such as [multiprocessing][multiprocessing-module] and [threading][threading-module] are difficult to implement with the current track tooling.  
+
+
+As a result, the concurrency requirement has been set aside for this exercise. 
+Account operations are sequential on a single thread, and no concurrency or "race condition" tests are run.

 ## Exception messages
 
 Sometimes it is necessary to [raise an exception](https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/errors.html#raising-exceptions). When you do this, you should always include a **meaningful error message** to indicate what the source of the error is. This makes your code more readable and helps significantly with debugging. For situations where you know that the error source will be a certain type, you can choose to raise one of the [built in error types](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#base-classes), but should still include a meaningful message.
