So I hear there's long been the ability to make multiple interpreters at the C level -- used by mod_python and presumably used in some other embedding situations -- but this has never been exposed at the Python level. I'm curious why that never happened? Merely inertia, or something more significant? -- Ian Bicking | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://blog.ianbicking.org _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list Python-3000@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
