Actually, the data science stack is pretty much unconstrained by the GIL right now. Most of the libraries do their work in C/Fortran, and release the GIL in-between.
For that matter you should look into Theano, Tensorflow and Numba to bring Python code to the GPU (no GIL there). Or use Dask to scale to multiple cores or nodes.
