Through the use of various Python packages (such as `pyobjc`), it is possible for a deadlock to occur due to how `_scproxy.c` calls `SCDynamicStoreCopyProxies`. In more recent versions of macOS (10.7+), this function can block on acquiring a lock deep inside `NSUserPreferences`. As `pyobjc` allows Python-wrapped `NSString`s to be stored in `CFPreferences`, it is thus possible for one thread to hold the `CFPreferences` lock and block on the GIL while another thread holds the GIL and blocks on the `CFPreferences` lock. We've observed this on a significant number of macOS devices before fixing ourselves by wrapping the calls to `SCDynamicStoreCopyProxies` with `Py_BEGIN/END_ALLOW_THREADS`. | |||

Thanks, Benjamin! Ronald, do you think this should be backported? | |||

Yes it should, the same problem has been present from the start. | |||
