It certainly looks like it:  here are lines 6632--6638 of
posixmodule.c, in posix_ftruncate:

        Py_BEGIN_ALLOW_THREADS
        res = ftruncate(fd, length);
        Py_END_ALLOW_THREADS
        if (res < 0) {
                PyErr_SetFromErrno(PyExc_IOError);
                return NULL;
        }
