My entire problem is solved simply by making the API look like:

oldstate = PyAutoThreadStateEnsure(); ... PyAutoThreadStateRelease(oldstate);

Aargh! I had an e-mail composed about that right away, but didn't press send for fear of increasing the noise level of Python-Dev even more. When you said saving of state is a PITA, I figured you meant that this wasn't going to work so easily. (Next time I'll at least send a private e-mail.)

Should there be Py_BEGIN_AUTO_THREAD_STATE_ENSURE and Py_END_AUTO_THREAD_STATE_ENSURE macros (analogous to Py_BEGIN_ALLOW_THREADS/Py_END_ALLOW_THREADS) as well, then?
