-   .. note::
-      Calling this function from a thread when the runtime is finalizing
-      will terminate the thread, even if the thread was not created by Python.
-      You can use :c:func:`_Py_IsFinalizing` or :func:`sys.is_finalizing` to
-      check if the interpreter is in process of being finalized before calling
-      this function to avoid unwanted termination.

-      :c:func:`Py_END_ALLOW_THREADS`, and :c:func:`PyGILState_Ensure`,
-      and terminate the current thread if called while the interpreter is finalizing.
