That aside, the fundamental problem is what I perceive a fundamental design flaw in Python's C API. In Java JNI, each function takes a JNIEnv* pointer as their first argument. There is nothing the prevents you from embedding several JVMs in a process. Python can create embedded subinterpreters, but it works differently. It swaps subinterpreters like a finite state machine: only one is concurrently active, and the GIL is shared. The approach is fine, except it kills free threading of subinterpreters. The argument seems to be that Apache's mod_python somehow depends on it (for reasons I don't understand). -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
