PyObjC should be safe in this regard, I try to conform to the  
official rules :-)

I do use PyString_AS_STRING outside of the GIL in other extensions  
though, the lazy strings patch would break that. My code is of course  
bending the rules here and can easily be fixed by introducing a  
temporary variable.
