You need to look into the PyGILState_* functions. These functions allow you to acquire the thread-lock before calling into Python. Your code will look something like: PyGILState_STATE old_state = PyGILState_Ensure() // you can now safely call Python functions from this thread. // When all your Python work is complete... PyGILState_Release() // The lock for this thread has now been released. This thread can // no longer safely call Python functions until the lock is re-acquired.
