  Sure?  We're happy to accept patches.  The Python documentation for C code is here:

https://docs.python.org/3/howto/free-threading-extensions.html

  From a quick look, it might be hard to do for 3.2.  The rlm_python3 module there is hard-coded to lock the GIL.

  In v3, rlm_python creates a Python interpreter per thread.  So that's a lot easier to fix.
