    187 across threads.
    188 
    189 Use PyThread_set_key_value(thekey, value) to associate void* value with
    190 thekey in the current thread.  Each thread has a distinct mapping of thekey
    191 to a void* value.  Caution:  if the current thread already has a mapping
    192 for thekey, value is ignored.
    193 
    194 Use PyThread_get_key_value(thekey) to retrieve the void* value associated
    195 with thekey in the current thread.  This returns NULL if no value is
    196 associated with thekey in the current thread.
    197 
    198 Use PyThread_delete_key_value(thekey) to forget the current thread's associated
    199 value for thekey.  PyThread_delete_key(thekey) forgets the values associated
    200 with thekey across *all* threads.
    201 
    202 While some of these functions have error-return values, none set any
    203 Python exception.
    204 
    205 None of the functions does memory management on behalf of the void* values.
    206 You need to allocate and deallocate them yourself.  If the void* values
    207 happen to be PyObject*, these functions don't do refcount operations on
    208 them either.
    209 
    210 The GIL does not need to be held when calling these functions; they supply
    211 their own locking.  This isn't true of PyThread_create_key(), though (see
    212 next paragraph).
    213 
    214 There's a hidden assumption that PyThread_create_key() will be called before
    215 any of the other functions are called.  There's also a hidden assumption
    216 that calls to PyThread_create_key() are serialized externally.
