For extra safety, I just checked the source of 3.4: """ #define HASHLIB_GIL_MINSIZE 2048 [...] if (self->lock == NULL && view.len >= HASHLIB_GIL_MINSIZE) { [...] if (view.len >= HASHLIB_GIL_MINSIZE) { [...] if (len >= HASHLIB_GIL_MINSIZE) { """ So, yes, the GIL is released if len >= 2048 bytes. BTW, in Python 3.x hashes can't be calculated on strings, but bytes. I take care of this. Commit in 5 minutes.

So, yes, the GIL is released if len >= 2048 bytes.
