    # thread lock.  This may be called as many times as desired
    # by a thread so long as each call is matched with a call to
    # PyGILState_Release().  In general, other thread-state APIs may
    # be used between _Ensure() and _Release() calls, so long as the
    # thread-state is restored to its previous state before the Release().
    # For example, normal use of the Py_BEGIN_ALLOW_THREADS/
    # Py_END_ALLOW_THREADS macros are acceptable.

    # The return value is an opaque "handle" to the thread state when
    # PyGILState_Ensure() was called, and must be passed to
    # PyGILState_Release() to ensure Python is left in the same state. Even
    # though recursive calls are allowed, these handles can *not* be shared -
    # each unique call to PyGILState_Ensure must save the handle for its
    # call to PyGILState_Release.

    # When the function returns, the current thread will hold the GIL.

    # Failure is a fatal error.

    # the caller, hence the use of the GILState API.)

    # PyGILState_Release on the same thread.
