16.17.2.2 already has a warning after it introduces CDLL, OleDLL, and WinDLL:
The Python global interpreter lock is released before
calling any function exported by these libraries, and
reacquired afterwards.
It links to the glossary entry:
https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-global-interpreter-lock
It wouldn't hurt to elaborate and box this warning.
Subsequently, PyDLL is documented to *not* release the GIL. Also, section
16.17.2.4 documents that CFUNCTYPE and WINFUNCTYPE functions release the GIL
and PYFUNCTYPE functions will *not* release the GIL.
