[Numpy-discussion] Numpy bug?

[Karl Bellve]

How can we correct this error?

Otherwise, Numpy can only be initialized once per application/thread?

Here is what I do, a user loads an image into my application, then runs
a Python script. I do a Py_Initialize(), initialize Numpy, initialize my
module, run the script and finally Py_Finalize(). Each image can do
this. My module only knows about its own image and can run a python
script multiple times. 

So, if I have to make it more global, I would have to run
Py_Intialize/Py_Finalize once per application. Redesign my module so
that a user must pick the specific image to work on. Redesign the
scripts so that a user must transverse all the images to the correct
image. Hey, I would rather fix numpy so it can be initialized multiple
times. Do you remember why the person wanted to do that? Or, if you let
me know where you did that, I can fix it in my local source instead.
