Thanks for the pointer. I'll check it out. That is what I was looking

I am writing an extension module that needs to release the global

could use a pthread mutex, but I do not think that is portable.
Are any of the python mutexes or locks exposed through the C API? I
could not find anything.
Look at Include/pythread.h. You can use PyThread_allocate_lock to get
the threading abstractions that Python uses.
Thanks,
Lane
