   @BewareMyPower perhaps, though issues related to 2 and 3 largely occurred for me while trying to use Pulsar from ordinary python code, rather than trying to develop features on the client itself.
   
   I think part of the issue is that GIL-safe code in this repo is very hard to write; it's easy to be GIL-safe when the handoff between C++ and Python is "unidirectional"--that is, Python code calls into C++, which returns when finished back into Python. But it's much harder when things are bidirectional, and the compiled code can later call back into Python, which the Pulsar client does quite frequently.
