But, I am a numpy novice and so no idea what it actually does in its

I found some other references where people were expressing concern

Could you please post links to those? I'm asking because AFAIK that
concern doesn't really stand. Any (correct) code that releases the
GIL
is responsible for reacquiring it before calling *any* Python code, in
fact before doing anything that might touch a Python object or its
refcount.
