/* Interface for threads.

   A module that plans to do a blocking system call (or something else
   that lasts a long time and doesn't touch Python data) can allow other
   threads to run as follows:

	...preparations here...
	Py_BEGIN_ALLOW_THREADS
	...blocking system call here...
	Py_END_ALLOW_THREADS
	...interpret result here...

   The Py_BEGIN_ALLOW_THREADS/Py_END_ALLOW_THREADS pair expands to a
   {}-surrounded block.
   To leave the block in the middle (e.g., with return), you must insert
   a line containing RET_SAVE before the return, e.g.

	if (...premature_exit...) {
		Py_BLOCK_THREADS
		PyErr_SetFromErrno(PyExc_IOError);
		return NULL;
	}

   An alternative is:

	Py_BLOCK_THREADS
	if (...premature_exit...) {
		PyErr_SetFromErrno(PyExc_IOError);
		return NULL;
	}
	Py_UNBLOCK_THREADS

   For convenience, that the value of 'errno' is restored across
   Py_END_ALLOW_THREADS and RET_SAVE.

   WARNING: NEVER NEST CALLS TO Py_BEGIN_ALLOW_THREADS AND
   Py_END_ALLOW_THREADS!!!

   The function PyEval_InitThreads() should be called only from
   initthread() in "threadmodule.c".

   Note that not yet all candidates have been converted to use this
   mechanism!
