PyThreadState_GetDict() returns a dictionary that can be used to hold such
state; the caller should pick a unique key and store its state there. If
PyThreadState_GetDict() returns NULL, an exception has been raised (most
likely MemoryError) and the caller should pass on the exception. */

Frozen packages are indicated by a negative size (the code string
is the __import__.py file). A frozen package module has its __path__
set to a string, the package name.
time can be in PyImport_ImportModuleEx(). Recursive calls from the
same thread are okay.
Potential problems:
- The lock should really be part of the interpreter state rather than
global, but that would require modifying more files, and I first want
to figure out whether this works at all.
- One could argue that the lock should be per module -- however that
would be complicated to implement. We would have to have a linked
list of locks per module name, *or* invent a new object type to
represent a lock, so we can store the locks in the module or in a
separate dictionary. Both seem unwarranted. The one situation where
this can cause problems is when loading a module takes a long time,
e.g. when the module's initialization code interacts with the user --
during that time, no other threads can run. I say, "too bad."
(modified) and use that.
Some differences in the cleanup algorithm:
- Clear __main__ before the other modules.
- Delete more sys variables: including ps1, ps2, exitfunc, argv, and
even path -- this will prevent new imports!
- Restore stdin, stdout, stderr from __stdin__, __stdout__,
__stderr__, effectively deleting hooks that the user might have
installed -- so their (the hooks') destructors will run.
This is an option for OS-es with case-insensitive but case-preserving
filesystems. It is currently supported for Win32 and MacOS. To
enable it, #define CHECK_IMPORT_CASE in your platform specific
config.h. It is enabled by default on those systems where it is
supported. On Win32, it can be disabled at runtime by setting the
environment variable PYTHONCASEOK (to any value).
When enabled, the feature checks that the case of the requested module
name matches that of the filename found in the filesystem, and raises
a NameError exception when they don't match.
pass it the true file. This is used to set __file__ properly, instead
of believing what the code object carries with it. (If the pointer
is NULL, the code object's co_filename is still used.)
- Add Py_FrozenFlag, intended to suppress error messages fron
getpath.c in frozen binaries.
- Add Py_GetPythonHome() and Py_SetPythonHome(), intended to allow
embedders to force a different PYTHONHOME.
- Add new interface PyErr_PrintEx(flag); same as PyErr_Print() but
flag determines whether sys.last_* are set or not. PyErr_Print()
now simply calls PyErr_PrintEx(1).
(1) Explicitly clear __builtin__._ and sys.{last,exc}_* before
clearing anything else. These are common places where user values
hide and people complain when their destructors fail. Since the
modules containing them are deleted *last* of all, they would come too
late in the normal destruction order. Sigh.
(2) Add some debugging aid to cleanup (after a suggestion by Marc
Lemburg) -- print the names of the modules being cleaned, and (when
-vv is used) print the names of the variables being cleared.
