Hi

The CPython C API compatibility layer is incomplete (and also a big hack).
This particular error *might* be related to already reported problems with
pyopenssl, I think there is even a patch. I suppose the best thing is to
wait a bit until we pull in patches for threads and then see if it helps
you.

Cheers,
