Brett Cannon <br...@python.org> added the comment:

"From our discussion off the issue tracker, it seems that your contention is 
that any C API calls can arbitrarily release the GIL, and the calling function 
can not be said to "hold" the GIL. If this is true than this is not a bug and 
can be closed."

Correct, because the GIL is a global lock for the whole process, anyone can 
release it and then acquire it, leading to interleaving and no one owning their 
locking of it.
