Although, if it's possible to arrange it, it's still better to do that once and then use BEGIN/END_ALLOW_THREADS to avoid the overhead of creating and destroying the temporary thread states: http://blog.ccpgames.com/kristjan/2011/06/23/temporary-thread-state-overhead/ Still, it's far, far easier than it used to be to handle the GIL correctly from non-Python created threads.
