Hi, Is there a proper way for C code to ensure that the GIL is released? I know about PyGILState_Ensure and PyGILState_Release, but that is to ensure the GIL is acquired. I have some extension code that does heavy processing and I want to release the GIL, but the code can't be sure that the GIL is already acquired. All I can think of so far is the following:
PyGILState_STATE state = PyGILState_Ensure(); Py_BEGIN_ALLOW_THREADS //do processing Py_END_ALLOW_THREADS PyGILState_Release(state) Is there a better way? -Farshid -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
