6) It's spinning in a function that has released the GIL. Python
threads can certainly execute concurrently; they just can't be
manipulating Python objects. Most of the I/O functions will release
the GIL before doing a potentially-blocking operation, and some
CPU-heavy functions can do the same (I'm given to understand that
numpy does this) - just depends on having a long job that involves no
refcounted objects.
