That's possible. I suspect it's related to test_gil itself. Hash providers don't release the GIL for inputs < 2048 bytes. Hashing of small inputs is faster than releasing and re-acquiring the GIL. For inputs >= 2048 hashlib creates a per-object lock and release the GIL while holding the internal lock. The test case verifies that hashlib works correctly for larger inputs that release the GIL. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue44043> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
