It is not desirable to clutter the docs with such mentions: most calls to the OS in the stdlib release the GIL.

But that would be a stupid implementation of sleep(). It is not desirable to clutter the docs with such mentions: most calls to the OS in the stdlib release the GIL.
Only if the behaviour was unintuitive (i.e. if it *didn't* release the GIL) would it make sense to document it.
