Comment(by charris):

 OK. I wonder if the new function should be included in npy_3kcompat
 instead? A longer term fix probably involves tracking down how the
 function gets called without the GIL in the first place, we really
 shouldn't call the Python c_api anywhere without the GIL, it's just asking
 for trouble.
