Amaury Forgeot d'Arc added the comment: Adam, your patch cover one case of the thread releasing the GIL (Py_ALLOW_THREADS), but there are more calls to PyThread_acquire_lock (the checkinterval for example).
I have a competing patch: it makes the main thread never release the GIL after some point. Other threads stay blocked and don't clean themselves: the OS will take care of them. Both approaches correct the initial problem, though. A remaining question is where exactly in Py_Finalize() we should ban other threads. I think that this point should be as late as possible, to allow some object/resources to be cleaned properly.
