When you say HTTP API, does that mean you had C++ http server, C++ http client, Python http server and Python http client?

Good question: In this case C++ was the server, and Python (via urllib2) was the client.

It's quite easy to release the GIL while you are running non-python code.[1] Just be sure that if you touch the Python API that you reaquire the GIL.[2]
