What do you mean?  The lookdict code checked in already checks
PyErr_Occurrs().

Cool.

Doesn't matter -- it will always swap back.  It's tied to the
interpreter lock.

Now, for truly devious code dealing with the lock and thread state,
see the changes to _PyPclose() that Tim Peters just checked in...
