[MH]

Since this email there have been some strong objections to this. I too would weigh in at -1 for this, simply for the amount of work it would cost me personally!

OK. Dead it is. -1.

Shall this be checked in to the 1.6 and 2.0 trees?

Yes, I'll do so.

"Fatal Python error: Interpreter not initialized" might not be too helpful, but it's surely better than "PyThreadStateGet: no current thread"...

Yes.
