Comment(by pv):

 The correct fix is to re-acquire the GIL before calling either of the
 functions. But now I'm not sure if GIL re-acquisition is reentrant, and if
 the functions is guaranteed to always be called with GIL released.

 The ifdef is needed on Py3 to avoid a deprecation warning. I suppose 2.7
 gives a PendingDeprecationWarning, and trying to raise this without GIL
 causes the crash.
