Well, it seems to be rather a mixture at the moment. I suppose you could regard sys.modules as fairly sensitive, since messing with it can have big effects on the behaviour of the whole program, and changing sys.stdout or sys.stderr also has global effects. But it's also how you do things like getting info about the current exception, which doesn't seem particularly sensitive to me. Maybe sys needs to be split into two modules, with the non-sensitive one pre-imported (so that the importless interpreter you suggest wouldn't be unnecessarily crippled). -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
