You are right to use PyGILState_Ensure() But as MRAB says the main thread is holding the GIL. > > I have code to use python from C++ in my pysvn project. > See the code starting a line 354 in > https://sourceforge.net/p/pysvn/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/pysvn/Extension/Source/pysvn.cpp > That saves the thread state and restores it. You still might find the classes I wrong to manage GIL acquire and release interesting. I have the C++ type system enforcing the rules of acquire and release. As well as RAII ensuring never to leave a block with the GIL in the wrong state. Barry -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
