[Python-Dev] Release or not release the GIL (original) (raw)

Hi,

While working on the implementation of the PEP 433, I saw different places where Python asks for operating resources without releasing the GIL.

In my implementation, I released the GIL in the following places. Is it correct?

os.listdir() releases the GIL to call dup(), whereas os.dup() doesn't.
