Antoine Pitrou added the comment: It all depends what you call "I/O". What is true is that not all functions doing system calls release the GIL, AFAIR. If you mean I/O as in actual disk or network I/O then yes, all such functions whould release the GIL.
That said, I agree that the statement isn't very helpful. ---------- nosy: +pitrou _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue22006> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
