[issue7736] os.listdir hangs since opendir() and closedir() do not release GIL

[Nikolaus Rath]

Nikolaus Rath <Nikolaus at rath.org> added the comment:

I have used both of them in the past, but in the end I wrote my own bindings (currently only available as part of the http://code.google.com/p/s3ql source code, but I intend to factor it out at some point), 
since neither fuse.py (http://code.google.com/p/fusepy) nor python-fuse (fuse.sf.net) support the FUSE low level API.

That said, I am reasonably sure that in both of them are affected by this bug too. However, it may not show up in practive very often, because the high level FUSE API by default forks into a background process before mounting the file system.
