So, Victor, I'm interested to hear how the new API you're proposing will affect this solution I've come up with for pyparallel; I'm going to be absolutely dependent upon the ability to lock main thread pages as read-only in one fell-swoop -- am I still going to be able to do that with your new API in place?

By default, nothing will change for the ordinary CPython runtime. It's only if an embedding application starts messing with the allocators that things might change, but at that point, pyparallel would break anyway.

Cheers, Nick.
