title: Where can I find a list of numpy functions which release the GIL?
body: <p>I have found several SO questions asking about this in one way or another, but none of them actually either give a list or refer to one.</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6200437/numpy-and-global-interpreter-lock">This question</a> refers to <a href="http://wiki.scipy.org/ParallelProgramming" rel="noreferrer">a wiki page</a>, but while the wiki page talks <em>about</em> the GIL and multi-threading, it doesn't give a list of GIL releasing functions.</p>
  
  <p><a href="http://mail.scipy.org/pipermail/scipy-user/2010-May/025399.html" rel="noreferrer">This mailing list post</a> indicates that the only way to find out is to read the numpy source. Really?</p>
