GitHub issue #7357: Python process aborded with GIL issue when using image dataset
State: open | Created: 2025-01-06T11:29:30Z

### Describe the bug

The issue is visible only with the latest `datasets==3.2.0`.

When using image dataset the Python process gets aborted right before the exit with the following error:
```
Fatal Python error: PyGILState_Release: thread state 0x7fa1f409ade0 must be current when releasing
Python runtime state: finalizing (tstate=0x0000000000ad2958)

### Steps to reproduce the bug

Install `datasets==3.2.0`

Run the following script:
```python
import datasets


DATASET_NAME = "phiyodr/InpaintCOCO"
NUM_SAMPLES = 10


def preprocess_fn(example):
    return {
        "prompts": example["inpaint_caption"],
        "images": example["coco_image"],
        "masks": example["mask"],
    }


default_dataset = datasets.load_dataset(
    DATASET_NAME, split="test", streaming=True
).filter(lambda example: example["inpaint_caption"] != "").take(NUM_SAMPLES)
test_data = default_dataset.map(
    lambda x: preprocess_fn(x), remove_columns=default_dataset.column_names
)

for data in test_data:
    print(data["prompts"])

``

### Expected behavior

The script should not hang or crash.
