[C++-sig] Boost.Python and Threads

[Drumheller, Michael]

I am interested in whatever workarounds/patches might exist for
releasing/acquiring
the GIL from Boost.Python-based C++ extensions.  The FAQ
http://www.boost.org/libs/python/doc/v2/faq.html#threadsupport
says this is basically not supported, but mentions a patch on C++-sig.
Is the following
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/c++-sig/2003-July/004791.html
the patch being referred to?

It would be great if I could find out whether the author of that patch
(Vladimir
Vukicevic), or anyone else, is still using it and still believes that it
works, or, if
not, are there any other similar patches out there that one should try?

Thank you.
