Yes, good catch. A PyInterpreterState must be known, and as you stated previously, it is trivial to get one of these and stash it away globally. The PyThreadState is the problem child.
Then of course you know more than Tim would grant you: you do have an interpreter state, and hence you can infer that Python has been initialized. So I infer that your requirements are different from Tim's.
Sheesh - lucky this is mildly entertaining <wink>. You are free to infer what you like, but I believe it is clear and would prefer to see a single other person with a problem rather than continue pointless semantic games.
In this instance, it looks to me like Martin makes a good point. If I'm missing something, I'd appreciate an explanation. Thanks, -- David Abrahams dave@boost-consulting.com * http://www.boost-consulting.com Boost support, enhancements, training, and commercial distribution
