Can code objects outlive the interpreter that created them?

[Andy Jost]

Hi,

I'm working on an application program that embeds Python using the C-API. Sometimes, I need to call functions written in pure Python from the C code, so I use Py_CompileString and PyEval_EvalCode.

I would like to avoid compiling the same code over and over by storing the result of Py_CompileString in a static variable, however, the application does sometimes restart the Python interpreter.

My question: is the PyCodeObject * returned from Py_CompileString still valid after Python is restarted?
