[pypy-dev] pymongo compatibility broken with version 2.3

[Jan Riechers]

Hello,

I know this is not particular subject for this mailing list, but this 
info might help someone else using pymongo for mongodb with pypy.

---

Latest release of the mongodb driver, pymongo (version 2.3, off 29th, 
August) does not work anymore with Pypy 1.9 and fails to start up with 
something like this:

"
(env) D:\gg_webdev>pypy dbskin.py
Fatal Python error: PyThreadState_Get: no current thread

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual 
way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.
"

But from my code side, there is no greenlet or similar in usage. The 
problem just arrived when upgrading the driver.

So I'm not sure whats the concrete problem with this new version - also 
after consulting the changelog of the driver ( 
https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/PYTHON/fixforversion/11146 ) there is 
nothing mentioned about threading or anything alike that - but it's 
definitely the culprid.

Nevertheless, version 2.2.1 (pymongo-2.2.1_-py2.7.egg) does work like a 
charm.
