Assigned to MarkH.  Mark, if you've got the bandwidth to think about this immediately, and like it, say so within the next couple of hours and I'll sneak it into 2.0b2.  Else Postpone it.

My theoretical objection to this is that it may be possible for a single process to have both Python 1.5 and Python 2.0 embedded - eg, a Web server.

The issue is "does the extension I just loaded reference Python15.dll", rather than simply "is python15.dll used by anyone in this process"

Like I said, mainly theoretical, but there is no reason I can think of why this would not work today for people, so we can only assume it is!

Marked as postponed.

Thank you, Mark.  I made enough crisis-mode work for myself by championing other last-second changes that I can't afford to argue with you now even if I wanted to <wink>.

But I don't want to, so Postponing was the right thing all around.
