My understanding is that it's beneficial to run mod_wsgi in multi- threaded mode despite of Python's GIL because database wrappers like MySQLdb release the GIL before it calls the underlying C driver.
Recently I was told that pylibmc, the python wrapper for libmemcached, doesn't release the GIL. Does anyone know if python-memcached (a pure python memcached client) release the GIL or not? And in generally, are there any other commonly used drivers that don't release the GIL that users of multi-threaded mod_wsgi should be aware of?
