Reproducer:
Code for native_ext.cpp:
#define PY_SSIZE_T_CLEAN
#include <Python.h>
#include <assert.h>
#include <pthread.h>
#include <malloc.h>
#pragma GCC push_options
#pragma GCC optimize ("O0")

{
	PyGILState_STATE gstate;
	gstate = PyGILState_Ensure();
	PyGILState_Release(gstate);
 Py_RETURN_NONE;
}
static PyMethodDef methods[] = {
 {"run_simple", run_simple, METH_NOARGS, "Execute a chain of native functions"},
 {NULL, NULL, 0, NULL},
};
#if PY_MAJOR_VERSION >= 3
static struct PyModuleDef moduledef = {PyModuleDef_HEAD_INIT, "native_ext", "", -1, methods};

{
 return PyModule_Create(&moduledef);

#else
PyMODINIT_FUNC

#endif
Code for setup.py:
import os
from distutils.core import Extension
from distutils.core import setup
ROOT = os.path.realpath(os.path.dirname(__file__))
setup(
 name="native_ext",
 version="0.0",
 ext_modules=[
 Extension(
 "native_ext",
 language="c++",
 sources=[os.path.join(ROOT, "native_ext.cpp")],
 ),
 ],
 zip_safe=False,
)
Compile extension:
python setup.py build_ext --inplace 
Execute the following script:
from test.support import run_in_subinterp
run_in_subinterp("""
import sys
sys.path.append(".")
import native_ext
native_ext.run_simple()
""")
The script deadlocks

Is this a duplicate of bpo-15751? (also see bpo-10915)

Yeah, this is indeed related/duplicate of bpo-15751
