19//! before the Tokio runtime is used from Python extension modules.

27/// Initializes the Python interpreter for use with the async runtime.
28///
29/// Python hosts the process when we build as an extension module. This function
30/// keeps the interpreter alive for the lifetime of the shared Tokio runtime
31/// so every worker thread sees a prepared PyO3 environment before using it.
32///
33/// This function is idempotent and safe to call multiple times.
