Are you making function calls, using system libraries, or creating or 
deleting any objects?  All of these use the GIL because they use common 
data structures shared among all threads.  At the lowest level, creating 
an object requires locked access to the memory manager.


Don't forget, the GIL gets used much more for Python internals than it 
does for the visible stuff.
