[Python-Dev] Retrieve an arbitrary element from asetwithoutremoving it

You are right; it's thread-unsafe.

I would fix it by catching the RuntimeError, and retrying. Given the
current GIL strategy (including proposed changes to it), it won't happen
two times in a row, so the number of retries would be bounded.
