Then it should play nicely with Python. But keep in mind that thread switches can also be blocked by some thread without having the GIL locked. We've seen such situations were a thread had to perform complex regular expression matching operations. Obviously code in Python C extension is also able to lock up the Python interpreter until the result is being passed back to the Python interpreter.
