Yes TLS, and all over the place. Look at the code for any of
PyWinThreadState_Ensure, PyWinInterpreterLock_Acquire,
PyWinInterpreterLock_Release, PyWinThreadState_Free, PyWinThreadState_Clear
or DLLMAIN. TLS is used to remember what a thread's PyThreadState is, and
to determine whether a thread already has a PyThreadState (it does iff the
TLS slot at dwTlsIndex is non-NULL). Simple example:
// Asuming we have a valid thread state, acquire the Python lock.
void PyWinInterpreterLock_Acquire()
{
ThreadData *pData = (ThreadData *)TlsGetValue(dwTlsIndex);
PyThreadState *thisThreadState = pData->ts;
PyEval_AcquireThread(thisThreadState);
}
