Thanks for answers. But what about my main question? Is it possible to release GIL without sleeping? I know that in this example situation I can achieve my goals without that - I can just move sleep outside of locked block. But I just want to know it for future - can I just do something like thread.gil_release()?
No, you can't. That is the reason for the python multiprocessing module http://docs.python.org/library/multiprocessing.html, which is part of 2.6 standard lib.
For older python versions, there is "processing" that essentially does the same.
