Well, PEP 489 basically punts this to module authors: generally, C globals are bad, but if you do have global state, please manage it, keeping in mind that multiple module objects can be created from the extension.

That's required to make everything work with subinterpreters.

See: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0489/#subinterpreters-and-interpreter-reloading

CCing Marcel, who's working on PEP 489-related stuff now.
