Here's one example, albeit from a few years ago

But, I am a numpy novice and so no idea what it actually does in its

I found some other references where people were expressing concern over numpy releasing the GIL due to the fact that other C extensions could call numpy and unexpectedly have the GIL released on them (or something like that). Could you please post links to those? I'm asking because AFAIK that concern doesn't really stand. Any (correct) code that releases the GIL is responsible for reacquiring it before calling any Python code, in fact before doing anything that might touch a Python object or its refcount.
