[C++-sig] Multiple Interpreters Using Boost.Python?

[Lawrence Spector]

Yes, what I meant by multiple interpreters is that I can execute
multiple scripts from the same program with no interference.  How can
this be done?

Also, you meant a global interpreter lock.  Does this mean that two
different scripts won't technically execute at the same time?  I would
like this to scale to multiple processors well.

Thanks,

Lawrence

What do you mean by 'interpreter' ? What's your use case, exactly ?
There is a single 'python runtime' linked to your program, and some
global variables are shared throughout the process (such as the
GIL (Global Interpreter Lock)). However, if all you want is execute
('interpret') multiple python scripts from within your application
without them interfering with each other, that's quite trivial to do
with the existing API.
