-       What it really does is completely different in Python 2 and

+       (What it really does used to be completely different in Python 2
+       and Python 3, with the Python 2 solution avoiding the spin-lock
+       around the Py_InitializeEx() call.  However, after recent changes
+       to CPython 2.7 (issue #358) it no longer works.  So we use the
+       Python 3 solution everywhere.)
 
-    Python 2

-
-       PyEval_InitThreads() must not be called concurrently at all.
+       This initializes Python by calling Py_InitializeEx().
+       Important: this must not be called concurrently at all.
        So we use a global variable as a simple spin lock.  This global
        variable must be from 'libpythonX.Y.so', not from this
        cffi-based extension module, because it must be shared from

        obscure.)
-
-    Python 3
-    ========
-
-       In Python 3, PyEval_InitThreads() cannot be called before
-       Py_InitializeEx() any more.  So this function calls
-       Py_InitializeEx() first.  It uses the same obscure logic to
-       make sure we never call it concurrently.
-
-       Arguably, this is less good on the spinlock, because
-       Py_InitializeEx() takes much longer to run than
-       PyEval_InitThreads().  But I didn't find a way around it.
