to make it easier someday. I believe Mark Hammond has a general set of C++ classes to help with this stuff on Windows, but IIRC they rely on Windows-specific TLS (thread local storage) gimmicks.

Right. Here are the pointers:

The class is CEnterLeavePython, near the end in http://www.pythonpros.com/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/PyWin32/win32/src/PyWinTypes.h

The helper functions are implemented in http://www.pythonpros.com/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/PyWin32/win32/src/PyWinTypesmodule.cpp
