STINNER Victor <victor.stin...@haypocalc.com> added the comment:

time_tzset() might also release the GIL, but:
 - i hope that multithreaded programs don't call regulary tzset() in different 
threads
 - time_tzset() calls tzset() and inittimezone()
 - inittimezone() modify the time module attributes and may call tzset() 
(depending on the OS / C library). it's also called from inittime()

So I prefer to leave it unchanged :-)
