Is the GIL released during import statement execution when accessing the file? If not, is it a bug? If it is not a bug, or it is here to stay for any other reason, I think it should be mentioned in the documentation.
The CPython GIL is a CPython implementation artifact and should not be mentioned in the language docs (and is not, as far as I know). Were you thinking of something else? And why this specific feature of its behavior, whatever it is.
