[Bf-committers] Python context internal state bug

[Campbell Barton]

Hi Jacques,

There are reports about this already, (search for the error message).
When manipulating Blender's state while rendering this can happen [1]

If you're not doing that, best narrow down the test-case and report a
bug in our tracker: https://developer.blender.org
