Brett Simmers 853163d3b5 gh-116322: Enable the GIL while loading C extension modules (#118560 ) Add the ability to enable/disable the GIL at runtime, and use that in the C module loading code. We can't know before running a module init function if it supports free-threading, so the GIL is temporarily enabled before doing so. If the module declares support for running without the GIL, the GIL is later disabled. Otherwise, the GIL is permanently enabled, and will never be disabled again for the life of the current interpreter.		2024-05-06 23:07:23 -04:00
