Hi,
Does anyone know whether there is a way for a python thread to release the global interpreter lock, and let all other threads have a chance at running before re-acquiring it? Does the thread scheduling follow a round-robin method?

The thread itself are scheduled by the OS ... the access to the GIL is managed by 'cooperative scheduling'.
