For extra safety, I just checked the source of 3.4:
"""
#define HASHLIB_GIL_MINSIZE 2048
[...]
if (self->lock == NULL && view.len >= HASHLIB_GIL_MINSIZE) {
[...]
if (view.len >= HASHLIB_GIL_MINSIZE) {
[...]
if (len >= HASHLIB_GIL_MINSIZE) {
"""
So, yes, the GIL is released if len >= 2048 bytes.
BTW, in Python 3.x hashes can't be calculated on strings, but bytes.
I take care of this. Commit in 5 minutes.
