Content
The initial issue is now fixed. I close the issue. take_gil() only checks if the thread must exit once the GIL is acquired. Maybe it would be able to exit earlier, but I took the safe approach. If we must exit, drop the GIL and then exit. That's basically Python 3.8 behavior. If someone wants to optimize/enhance take_gil() for daemon thread, I suggest to open a new issue. Note: Supporting daemon threads require tricky code in take_gil(). I would prefer to deprecate daemon threads and prepare their removal.
