Detailed Description

A scoped global interpreter (GIL) lock.

The GIL only allows one thread at a time to run in the python interpreter. It is VERY important to that you MUST NOT touch any python code, python data or call in to the interpreter while not holding the GIL. This will cause your interpreter to crash. So before interacting with python in any way you need to hold the GIL by creating an instance of ScopedGILLock. It will automatically release the lock when it goes out of scope.

{
   ScopedGILLock lock;
   // ...do python stuff
} // lock is released
