[New-bugs-announce] [issue1164] tp_print slots don't release the GIL

[Armin Rigo]

New submission from Armin Rigo:

The tp_print slots, used by 'print' statements, don't release the GIL
while writing into the C-level file.  This is not only a missing
opportunity, but can cause unexpected deadlocks, as shown in the
attached file.
