Adam Olsen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: It's only checking that the original tstate *for the current thread* and the new tstate have a different subinterpreter. A subinterpreter can have multiple tstates, so long as they're all in different threads.
The documentation is referring specifically to the PyGILState_Ensure and PyGILState_Release functions. Calling these says "I want a tstate, and I don't know if I had one already". The problem is that, with subinterpreters, you may not get a tstate with the subinterpreter you want. subinterpreter references saved in globals may lead to obscure crashes or other errors - some of these have been fixed over the years, but I doubt they all have. _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1758146> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
