Urgent: Embedding Python problems - advice sought

[adsheehan at eircom.net]

Hi,


I am embedding Python into a multi-threaded C++ application running on
Solaris and need urgent clarification on the embedding architecture and
its correct usage (as I am experience weird behaviors).


Can anyone clarify:


- if Python correctly supports multiple sub-interpreters
(Py_NewInterpreter) ?


- if Python correctly supports multiple thread states per
sub-interpreter (PyThreadState_New) ?


and the "real" question:


- what is the rationale for choosing one of:


[a] one sub-interpreter with many thread states
[b] many sub-interpreters with one thread state each
[c] many sub-interpreters with many threas states each


Thanks for helping 
Alan
