Python does not support the Microsoft structured exceptions at all, and
there is nothing that can be done about it. There are many many many
places in the that would work incorrectly if a structured exception
occurred, including many which lead to significant memory leaks or
completely block the interpreter (as it won't return the GIL. That it
can also happen in GC is just a tiny detail of the problem.

If you think you absolutely need to have that work, just change the
code and use a modified Python DLL.
