Well people already do this using ctypes...
Haven't used them myself yet. So you can use them to expose all of the C-API? Cool!
Yes, ctypes.pythonapi exposes the Python C API to Python. You can use it for evil code like this hack to prevent thread switch (doesn't work with Python 3, as the implementation has changed). Just make sure you don't call extension code that releases the GIL, or all bets are off ;-) Sturla from contextlib import contextmanager import ctypes _Py_Ticker = ctypes.c_int.in_dll(ctypes.pythonapi,"_Py_Ticker") @contextmanager def atomic(): tmp = _Py_Ticker.value _Py_Ticker.value = 0x7fffffff yield _Py_Ticker.value = tmp - 1 Now we can do with atomic(): # whatever pass
