PTHREAD_KEY_T_IS_COMPATIBLE_WITH_INT is defined on most (pthread) platforms, no? I understood that the PEP 539 is mostly designed for Cygwin, a platform which is not officially supported by Python. At least, PTHREAD_KEY_T_IS_COMPATIBLE_WITH_INT is set to 1 on my Fedora 27 (Linux). I propose to cast pthread_key_create() result to int, but only define PyThread_create_key() in Python/thread_pthread.h if PTHREAD_KEY_T_IS_COMPATIBLE_WITH_INT is defined. It means that the pthread implementation of Python would still have this bug (race condition) if PTHREAD_KEY_T_IS_COMPATIBLE_WITH_INT is not defined. But backporting the PEP 539 to Python 2.7 doesn't seem worth it.
