I was thinking along those lines and if that were the case then I could use > PyObject* PyThreadState_GetDict() > > Return value: Borrowed reference. > Return a dictionary in which extensions can store thread-specific state > information. > Each extension should use a unique key to use to store state in the > dictionary. > It is okay to call this function when no current thread state is > available. > If this function returns NULL, no exception has been raised and the > caller should > assume no current thread state is available.

It seems that PyThreadState* Py_NewInterpreter() points only to the first thread. Presumably I want to initialize my extension only in one of the possibly many threads in an interpreter. I think I need something called PyObject* PyInterpreterState_GetDict() but I don't think that exists. -- Robin Becker -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
