It seems that bu dfdefault Perl is not thread safe, and that they have to jump through all those hoops to ensure thread safety. There is no real lesson for mod_python, I just wanted to know how they solved this rather difficult problem.
Not instantiating one interpreter per name per thread and using an interpreter pool may be an interesting optimisation, though. But I guess it's a rather complicated one.
