I am about to try doing almost exactly the same thing with my Sybase
module.  The way I understand it is that your code is responsible for
associating the Python thread state with the actual thread.

The way I am going to do it is to store the Python thread state inside
one of my structures which I associate with one of the Sybase API
callback parameters.  When Sybase invokes a callback I then locate the
correct threadstate by searching through non-Python structures and
recquire the GIL.
