I don't think this is a bug: - PyGILState_Ensure() acquires the GIL when it is not already acquired (and can be called without checking). It cannot acquire the GIL when some other thread has already taken the GIL, but wait until the GIL is released. The GIL will get released periodically when running Python code. If the thread holding the GIL is primarily running native code that doesn't use the Python API it should release the GIL (for example by bracketing the long-running C code with Py_BEGIN_ALLOW_THREADS/Py_END_ALLOW_THREADS) - PyGILState_Release() restores the state from before the call to PyGILState_Ensure(). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue38680> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
