[IronPython] how to generate multiple concurrent scriptign engines?

[Jeff Hardy]

As long as you have a ScriptScope per thread, you should be able to
share the ScriptEngine & Runtime between threads.

What is the exception that you are getting? If it's a GUI program,
remember that UI elements can only be manipulated from the main
thread.
