But that would be a stupid implementation of sleep(). It is not desirable to clutter the docs with such mentions: most calls to the OS in the stdlib release the GIL. Only if the behaviour was unintuitive (i.e. if it *didn't* release the GIL) would it make sense to document it. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23251> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
