+
+/* We try to define Py_LIMITED_API before including Python.h.
+
+   Mess: we can only define it if Py_DEBUG, Py_TRACE_REFS and
+   Py_REF_DEBUG are not defined.  This is a best-effort approximation:
+   we can learn about Py_DEBUG from pyconfig.h, but it is unclear if
+   the same works for the other two macros.  Py_DEBUG implies them,
+   but not the other way around.
+
+   The implementation is messy (issue #350): on Windows, with _MSC_VER,
+   we have to define Py_LIMITED_API even before including pyconfig.h.
+   In that case, we guess what pyconfig.h will do to the macros above,
+   and check our guess after the #include.
+
+   Note that on Windows, with CPython 3.x, you need >= 3.5 and virtualenv
+   version >= 16.0.0.  With older versions of either, you don't get a
+   copy of PYTHON3.DLL in the virtualenv.  We can't check the version of
+   CPython *before* we even include pyconfig.h.  ffi.set_source() puts
+   a ``#define _CFFI_NO_LIMITED_API'' at the start of this file if it is
+   running on Windows < 3.5, as an attempt at fixing it, but that's
+   arguably wrong because it may not be the target version of Python.
+   Still better than nothing I guess.  As another workaround, you can
+   remove the definition of Py_LIMITED_API here.
+
+   See also 'py_limited_api' in cffi/setuptools_ext.py.

+       (What it really does used to be completely different in Python 2
+       and Python 3, with the Python 2 solution avoiding the spin-lock
+       around the Py_InitializeEx() call.  However, after recent changes

+
+       This initializes Python by calling Py_InitializeEx().
+       Important: this must not be called concurrently at all.
+       So we use a global variable as a simple spin lock.  This global
+       variable must be from 'libpythonX.Y.so', not from this
