Descrição
**Affects:** PythonCall
**Bug description**
Having both `PythonCall` and `PythonPlot` imported leads to a `EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION` when used with multithreading with an unlocked GIL.
**MWE**
File: src\\Pythoncall_testing.jl
```
import PythonCall
import PythonPlot
PythonCall.GIL.@unlock Threads.@threads for i in 1:5
println("Hello world")
end
```

**Additional context**
I dont want to use multithreading to plot on many threads, I just have a julia project in which I do multithreaded computation involving python, and the results of which I would like to plot with matplotlib.
From the stacktrace, it seems as though `PythonPlot.__init__()` gets called by each thread, which in turn calls python.
I belive this leads to a crash as the GIL is unlocked (`PythonCall.GIL@unlock`) but was not locked before the `PythonPlot.__init__()`.
This is quite frustrating, as I need both `PythonCall` and `PythonPlot` and I would like to not have to separate them at the project level.
Is there some way to avoid this? Perhaps I can somehow make sure the the `PythonPlot.__init__()` calls are wrapped with `PythonCall.GIL.@lock`?
Let me know if something is unclear!
Thanks for the convenient package otherwise!
