From f6853a60a315655486247cf961c3383992422f9d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Benoit Chesneau Date: Sun, 15 Mar 2026 10:16:38 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 03/34] Register py_event_loop module in OWN_GIL subinterpreters Fix reactor tests failing in OWN_GIL mode by registering the py_event_loop module during OWN_GIL thread initialization. The reactor functions call get_module_state() to access the reactor cache, which requires the py_event_loop module to exist. Without this, get_module_state() returns NULL and reactor operations fail.
