Do it in your module init. That function is safe to be called multiple time. You could have answered the second part by reading the docs, which is what I did to check what I was telling you. Personally I do not code against the C api I use PyCXX to ease a lot of the hardship of using the C api. See http://cxx.sourceforge.net/PyCXX-Python3.html Disclaimer I am the PyCXX maintainer. I have c++ classes to handle the Gil release and acquire that I use in pysvn that you might find useful. See http://cxx.sourceforge.net/PyCXX-Python3.html and the PythonAllowThreads PythonDisallowThreads classes that to the hard workin a type safe way.
