/* Some background.

   There are lots of issues here.

   First, we can build Python without threads, with threads, or (when
   Greg Stein's mods are out of beta, on some platforms) with free
   threading.

   Next, assuming some form of threading is used, there can be several
   kinds of threads.  Python code can create threads with the thread
   module.  C code can create threads with the interface defined in
   python's "thread.h".  Or C code can create threads directly with
   the OS threads interface (e.g. Solaris threads, SGI threads or
   pthreads, whatever is being used, as long as it's the same that
   Python is configured for).

   Next, let's discuss sharing of interpreter state between threads.
   The exception state (sys.exc_* currently) should never be shared
   between threads, because it is stack frame specific.  The contents
   of the sys module, in particular sys.modules and sys.path, are
   generally shared between threads.  But occasionally it is useful to
   have separate module collections, e.g. when threads originate in C
   code and are used to execute unrelated Python scripts.
   (Traditionally, one would use separate processes for this, but
   there are lots of reasons why threads are attractive.)
