Cool.  that sounds like it will be useful for many extensions that use 
callbacks (which will either be called from the main loop where the 
interpreter lock has been released, or in response to an API call where 
it is still acquired).  Of course if python were free threaded, it would 
integrate with almost any other library's idea of threading/locking.
