Fortunately, I was wrong, sorry. The functions of the math module don't release the GIL. The low-level operations are in pypy/rpython/lltypesystem/module/ll_math.py, all functions are marked with "sandboxsafe=True" which, according to a comment in rffi.py, ensures that the GIL won't be released. -- Amaury Forgeot d'Arc _______________________________________________ pypy-dev@codespeak.net http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/pypy-dev
