Hi Tony,

You recently made a change which prevents me using the library in an embedded 
Python interpreter.

In pythonengine.cs, you "inject" decorators with the following code:

//=================================================================
public static void Initialize() {
.....
IntPtr globals = Runtime.PyEval_GetGlobals();
PyDict locals = new PyDict();
try
{
    IntPtr builtins = Runtime.PyEval_GetBuiltins();
    Runtime.PyDict_SetItemString(locals.Handle, "__builtins__", builtins);

    var assembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
    using (Stream stream = 
assembly.GetManifestResourceStream("Python.Runtime.resources.clr.py"))
    using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(stream))
    {
        // add the contents of clr.py to the module
        string clr_py = reader.ReadToEnd();
        PyObject result = RunString(clr_py, globals, locals.Handle);
        if (null == result)
            throw new PythonException();
        result.Dispose();
    }
//=================================================================
When running from a Python script, it's fine because the Python interpreter has 
already been initialized and global variables have been defined.

The issue is that when running from an embedded interpreter. As I must first 
initialize the Python engine using PythonEngine.Initialize().

So when we reach this piece of code, there is no script running, no "Python 
context", so "PyEval_GetGlobals" returns null and "RunString" fails.

We could create an artificial global dictionary but it won't be available to 
the rest of the code.

I think it should be best to move this code into a Python module. If run from a 
script (PyEval_GetGlobals() != null), you could inject the decorators with a 
simple "from decorators_pythonnet import *". If run from an embedded 
interpreter, we could add a line for running the same code once the engine has 
been initialized.

What do you think?
