+1 for using Cython. It also has (multi-)source level gdb support, which
greatly helps in debugging crashes like this one.

An "official" example is here:

Cython makes this really easy. You can use the "with" statement to release
the GIL when you don't need it, and the compiler will produce errors when
you try to do things that require the GIL while you don't own it.
