I have very CPUexpiensive Pythone code which I recently implemented in C++ 
using Pyrex as an excellent interface generator
.
It alreay was using threads but due to GIL there was no much gain on SMP 
machines.
I wonder if it is possible and good idea to safely release GIL while one of 
threads comes to C++ section to gain better performance ?

How to do it  properly ?

Thanks in advance,
