The Python interpreter needs to keep some bookkeeping information separate per
thread --- for this it uses a data structure called :ctype:`PyThreadState`.
There's one global variable, however: the pointer to the current
:ctype:`PyThreadState` structure. While most thread packages have a way to

This is easy enough in most cases. Most code manipulating the global
interpreter lock has the following simple structure::
