When using mod_wsgi there is no problem with C extension modules which
use simplified GIL API provided that one configures mod_wsgi to
delegate that specific application to run in the context of the first
interpreter instance created by Python.

In theory the same should be the case for mod_python but there is
currently a bug in the way that mod_python works such that some C
extension modules using simplified API for the GIL still don't work
even when made to run in first interpreter.
