gh-38: release Python GIL in numpy loops #39

Closed ntessore closed 3 months ago

ntessore commented 3 months ago

The Python GIL is now released while numpy evaluates the inner loops of the vectorised functions. This might help in applications where other Python code runs in parallel to healpix carrying out large computations.

Closes: #38
